While the viewing area is free, it is small and the views are not that great. You need your passport if you want to go up. More

A really futuristic-looking building, it is striking, even from a distance. More

Nice place to see the sky view of hong kong. Staff are quite professional. And its free. Just remember to bring ur passport along as you need it to register yourself before going up to the 43rd floor. They should provide us with binoculars. More

The old Bank of China, almost next door, is still there but now houses the China Club, which would have you think it is ultra-elitist but any concierge can get you in. The new Bank of China (this one) is a striking building, one of the world's 20 tallest (as of today, anyway) and local legend has it that BOC... More

To get to the 43rd floor observation area you must bring a current valid passport in order to get a badge to gain access to the exclusive 43rd floor elevator. Rejected with a photocopy of my passport, I went back to my hotel and returned to the reception area. There was no line and after registering my particulars, my passport... More

The Bank of China (BOC) tower is probably the most highly recognizable building within the group of skyscrapers lining the HK island skyline. The tower is well designed, based on feng shui principles and has a unique triangular framework that gives the tower an artistically attractive look about it. BOC is nice during the day and night. However, it lights... More

As a free attraction, the 43rd floor viewing area is definitely one of the tops; but beware, you have to have ID (for we Brits, that means a passport) to get in and there was no mention of this in any of our guidebooks. It was either give up or go back to the hotel (the Jen Hotel in Western,... More
