International Financial Center is the definitive point of Hong Kong’s
awe-inspiring skyline and a symbol of its wealth.
Located in
the center of Hong Kong’s financial district, this shimmering 415-meter obelisk
fits every criterion of a financial powerhouse.
It houses
some of the world’s largest financial institutes, it is situated on 8 Finance
Street and has 88 floors -- the number eight is an auspicious digit in Hong
Kong.
The
building is topped with a crown that some liken to a beard trimmer.
