The building was completed in August 1992. The 78 story building is 378.4 meters tall. The building uses a triangular floor plan. It was one of the tallest buildings built with reinforced concrete.

WikiProject Hong Kong/Districts Of Hong Kong

Rewrite

All district pages are in fact poorly arranged, lacking basic unity. In-depth information, like ethinic culture, is inadequate. Some data are undesirably over-simplified; a point-form format, which should be avoided at any cost if possible, is implemented instead of paragraphs. Some sub-topics are yet too specific. Take North District as an example. The term "KCR Stations" is used in the case rather than "transport". I propose to produce a map designated for 18 districts, similar to the map of New York (State):

Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (Chinese: 中華人民共和國香港特別行政區, pronunciation ) is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China located at the south coast of China. Hong Kong usually participates in international events under the name "Hong Kong, China". Hong Kong consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. The Kowloon Peninsula is attached to the New Territories in the north, and the New Territories are in turn connected to Mainland China across the Sham Chun River (Shenzhen River). In total, Hong Kong has 236 islands in the South China Sea, of which Lantau is the largest and Hong Kong Island the second largest and most populated. Ap Lei Chau is the most densely populated island in the world. Hong Kong was a British crown colony until 1 July 1997, when it was returned to Chinese rule. Under the policy of the 'One Country, Two Systems', Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy from the Mainland. Hong Kong continues to have its own legal system, currency, customs, immigration authorities, and its own rule of the road, with traffic continuing to drive on the left. Only national defence and diplomatic relations are responsibilities of the central government in Beijing.

History

:''Main article: History of Hong Kong'' Even though Hong Kong has been occupied since the Neolithic Age, the area now known as Hong Kong remained distant from the major events that took place in Imperial China for most of its history. Hong Kong only began to attract the attention of China and the rest of the world in the 19th century. Hong Kong was first visited by a European in 1513, by the Portuguese mariner Jorge Alvares. He first landed on the island of Lintin, which is to the west of the New Territories in the Pearl River Delta. Alvares

Hong Kong Sevens

The Hong Kong Sevens is generally considered the premier tournament on the World Sevens Series in Rugby Union. It is held annually in Hong Kong, around Easter. In 1997 and 2005, the Hong Kong Sevens was not held; taking its place was the IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens, which Hong Kong hosted in both years. Fiji won both World Cup Sevens tournaments held in Hong Kong. Established in 1976, it originally was contested by teams in the Asian-Pacific region. Since the late 1980s the tournament has featured 24 teams from all over the world. One of the enduring traditions in the tournament is the ritualistic booing of the Australian team. During the event, the South Stands of Hong Kong Stadium are famous for the chanting crowds in colorful costumes.
