Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
Wednesday, 29th June 2005 by Alex Turnbull
This is the fantastically modern-looking Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, (which reminds me of The Flight of the Navigator!).
As I've said before, everything on this site seems to be the tallest/biggest/highest something, and this building proves to be no exception, as it contains the world's tallest glass wall (which overlooks Victoria Harbour). There's some fantastic lower-down shots of the building over at their homepage.

How did this boat get there? View Placemark
hey, I’d forgotten about that boat, i stayed at a hotel a couple of blocks away. It’s part of “wonderful worlds of whampoa” http://www.whampoaworld.com/direct.asp
“The Whampoa is “moored” on the site of a former dry dock. This 110-metre-long boat-shaped entertainment centre, containing cinemas, shops and clubs – the “Wonderful Worlds of Whampoa” – is the focal point of the adjacent, multi-towered HK$4 billion Whampoa Gardens housing development”
Wow, that Whampoa site sounds so cheesy it could almost be American.

The Convention Centre is on the far left. This is a few years old so the Two International Finance Centre is only about 30% complete, on the right
