Do you aspire to reach great heights? If so, a visit to Hong Kong's tallest structure, the International Commerce Centre (ICC), should definitely be on your agenda. Nestled on the west of the Kowloon peninsula, this towering marvel stands at a staggering 490 meters with 118 floors. With its sheer magnitude, it commands attention round the clock throughout the year. The ICC is best known for its 'Sky100' observatory located on the 100th floor. Aptly named, it's the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy sweeping 360-degree aerial views of the bustling metropolis. The breathtaking vistas it offers is an irresistible draw for tourists and locals alike. But the allure of the ICC extends beyond its high-altitude observation deck. On the ground level, the Elements Mall, seamlessly integrated with the building, offers a variety of experiences. With a vast selection of high-end brands, outdoor dining options, bars, and even an ice rink, there's much to explore before taking your journey to the top.
If you're particularly eager to ascend to the city's most dramatic skyline, the entrance to the Sky100 observatory is conveniently located on the main floor. Here, you'll be guided through a range of engaging, multimedia installations that narrate the evolution of Hong Kong from a humble fishing village to the thriving financial hub it is today. A high-speed 60-second elevator ride then transports you to the city's highest indoor observatory deck. The experience comes with an entrance fee of approximately $188.
Once at the top, prepare to be enthralled by the panoramic view framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. The dazzling spectacle of Victoria Harbor, bathed in sunlight or illuminated by city lights, is a sight to behold, provided the weather is clear. To further enhance your visit, the observatory also offers two VR experiences that transport you back in time to old Hong Kong, adding a historical dimension to your journey.
