Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I. M. Pei, the building is 315.0 m (1,033.5 ft) high with two masts reaching 367.4 m (1,205.4 ft) high. The 72-story building is located near Central MTR station. This was the tallest building in Hong Kong and Asia from 1990 to 1992, the first building outside the United States to break the 305 m (1,000 ft) mark, and the first composite space frame high-rise building. That also means it was the tallest outside the United States from its completion year, 1990. It is now the fourth tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong, after International Commerce Centre, Two International Finance Centre and Central Plaza.

I had the chance to visit this building while I was living in Hong Kong, the building highlights among the skyscrapers of Hong Kong, its architecture is very different to the other buildings and during the night the lights make it look like a majestic building. for a lot of time, this building was the signature of the Hongkonese bay. A lot of souvenirs and postcards of Hong Kong have the image of the building as the main character. a total worth to experience the building in flesh.
