Bank of China Tower by I.M. Pei

Undoubtedly one of I.M Pei most famous work, The Bank of China Tower, which began construction on 1982.






From the observation floor.




View of Kowloon Island


Bank of China still glitters and stands out among other taller and more modern buildings.


Still gorgeous at night

Beautiful garden in front of Bank of China

it is spring time now when the sun rises EARLY in the morning. I woke up a bit earlier nowadays therefore managed to have some time to blog.
Bank of China is indeed a bank from China, but Hong Kong is China. It became note-issuing bank in Hong Kong. It is funny that HK has more than 1 note-issuing banks.
Btw, BOC also operates in 27 countries including Brazil !!!!

I like the picture of the view from the top - the buildings, the cars on the street the most. Perfect!
