International financial center, China
From series “The Highest Buildings in the World”Year: 2003. Height: 420 meters.
International Finance Centre in Hong Kong can safely claim to be one of the most beautiful skyscrapers of the planet. This one like many other high-rise buildings in Asia is built in accordance with the Cantonese tradition - it has 88 floors and its height is 420 meters. The grand skyscraper was completed in 2003; it has being remaining one of the most attractive tourist sites in Hong Kong for more than ten years.
As for Cantonese tradition, it’s worth noting that the building has no 14th and 24th floors, as these numbers are considered unlucky. All other floors are present; they are occupied by first-class hotels and business centers; amazingly popular ifc Mall is situated there too. Travelers who wish to diversify shopping trips with interesting cultural events have to climb to the 55th floor of a skyscraper. There they can find a very interesting exhibition dedicated to history of money.
