Bank of China Tower

A stunning and iconic skyscraper in the heart of the business district on Hong Kong island. Magnificent by day and spectacular at night when illuminated. This building was a constant landmark for me whilst navigating my way around the Hong Kong streets. A thing of beauty.

Completed in 1990, and designed by the visionary I. M. Pei, this isn’t just a tower; it’s a monumental symbol. Its revolutionary geometric structure, defined by intersecting triangular trusses, mimics the growth of bamboo, signifying resilience, prosperity, and continuous growth. It’s breathtaking to think that this stunning aesthetic is also the secret to its strength, engineered to withstand Hong Kong’s powerful typhoons. It stands tall, glowing against the night sky, a perfect fusion of modern genius and ancient Chinese symbolism #中銀大廈 #HongKong

An amazing structure to photograph specially for those who are into long exposure night photography. Located in the central area of Hong Kong and the area is nice for a walk around to explore and discover

Iconic skyscraper in central Hong Kong - such a shame another building has been built in front of it so you can’t see it fully from Kowloon. The observation deck has been closed since Covid so the public can no longer see the view.

The Bank of China Tower is an iconic Hong Kong skyscraper with a striking design. Its sharp angles and glass facade make it a standout in the skyline. A must-see for architecture lovers and city explorers!

Amazing building that's the most recognisable night feature of Hong Kong. Easily recognisable during the day too of course. Very impressive and peaceful fountain/garden features on both sides of the entrance. I haven't gone in as I have no business inside. But the exterior of the building is admirable in itself.

A magnificent building, showing off the wealth and strength of the economy. In capitalism, one always finds the most impressive buildings to be the ones owned by banks. This one is no exception. The sharpness of the geometry is aesthetic. Imagine that this building was erected back in 1990 and how it must have looked then (when all those other high rises were not present yet)!

Am iconic building admired by so many of us architecture students in the 90s. It still commands a presence today, in spite of the new buildings that have sprouted out around it!

The BOC Tower is a skyscraper located in Central, which houses the headquarters of the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited. It is one of the most recognisable landmarks in HK, notable for its distinct shape and design, consisting of triangular frameworks covered by glass curtain walls. They used to have observation deck open to public, unfortunately already closed permanently.

A Hong Kong icon that composes the skyline. I love photographing the exterior of this building from street level. Designed by I. M. Pei and L.C Pei and the most recognizable skyscrapers in Admiralty, Hong Kong.

located between admiralty n central it's prolly not that convenient for staff commuting by mtr. it will be about 10 mins walk from either station. the good thing about the office building is that they have Starbucks within the premises, with simplylife n pret a manger close by. seasons fitness is also a popular lunch spot for bankers since they like going to gym during lunch time. lunch options for people working in this building would be lab concept where a few eateries can be found, lan kwai fong, or Pacific place.

The Bank of China Tower has to be one of the most recognizable high rise building in Hong Kong. It was designed by I. M. Pei and L.C Pei and between 1989 and 1992, it was the tallest building in Asia. However, nowadays International Commerce Centre has become to tallest one. Its rather strange exterior is said to be having adverse effect on the future of Hong Kong as its construction was completed without the consultation of some feng shui practitioners. Believe it or not, most major buildings here in Hong Kong have to be consulted with feng shui masters before the construction. Anyway, some people do not see this as a tourist attraction except the fact that it has iconic exterior. However, it actually has an observation deck, and the best part - it is FREE OF CHARGE. Yet, before you grab your camera and come here, there are a few things you need to pay attention to: first, check if the observation deck is open for public that day as now it only opens once a week and that is subject to change; second, bring your passport or driving license for security reason with you and show either of them to the reception as they will then give you a free pass up to the 43rd floor. After that, you can fully enjoy the observation deck without paying a dime or surround yourself with tourists. (Surprisingly it is really quiet most of times maybe not many people know about this...) Anyways, the deck faces the renowned Victoria harbor and you can take pictures of the famous Hong Kong skyline. Since there isn't much there, normally it takes maybe 20 minutes and you will come down from it. If you have to pick the time to go, go when the light show happens, as it gives you the best view.

Wherever I can, I like to get up above a city. The Bank of China Tower helped me achieve that in Hong Kong. There is a FREE observation deck, I only needed to show a valid form of identification and I was in. Once on the deck the view of Hong Kong is very different than from the ground (obviously). On a clear day you can see clear across to the Kowloon side. There is also an artists rendition of the building in the form of a model to let you see where you are in relation to the rest of the city.
