Views of Hong Kong from the 47th Floor

This building under construction is in Kowloon and will be the tallest in Hong Kong when it is finished. There is a crane on top of it.











See the reclaimed harbor area below












Our Office building looks small from the 47th floor






Across the street from our office is a 72 floor office building. On the 47th floor they have an open observatory that permits viewing the main Hong Kong business area and the northern Kowloon section of Hong Kong. Very impressive. This large art piece greets us on the first floor. Our 12 story office building (pink structure) looks rather small from this vantage point. Most of our area is built on reclaimed land from the harbor. In one picture you can see a large habor area currently being filled in to provide space for more buildings. Remember, these structures are all erected with a bamboo lattice framework surrounding the constructed buildings. Amazing!!
