Hi,

I've got visitors coming to stay with me in the Fragrant Harbour in a few weeks. They haven't been here since 1996 and I was wondering if anyone had any pics of what the HK skyline looked like back then?

I've 'only' been here one year but have already seen it change heaps. So far I've worked out that in 1996 there was no Cheung Kong, IFC, Centre or Union Square. Are there any other noteworthy buildings to add to that list?

Some other new buildings would include Pacific Place Phase 3, Police New HQ, CITIC, Charter House, AIG Tower.. oh, the Convention and Exhibition Centre should still be under construction back in 1996. :)

and they were still using the old kai tak airport
not the new one
yep, last time they flew into HK it was into Kai Tak. They're going to be disappointed flying into CLK, its nowhere near as interesting!
