List of tallest buildings in Hong Kong


The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China has at least 7,840 high-rise buildings, with no fewer than 1,303 skyscrapers standing taller than 100 m (328 ft) and at least 316 buildings over 150 m (492 ft) in height. The tallest of these skyscrapers is the 108-storey International Commerce Centre, completed in 2010, which stands 484 m (1,588 ft) and is the ninth tallest building in the world. The total built-up height (combined heights) of these skyscrapers is approximately 333.8 km (207 mi), making Hong Kong the world's tallest urban agglomeration. Furthermore, reflective of the SAR's high population densities, Hong Kong has more people living at the 15th floor or higher, and more buildings of at least 100 m (328 ft) and 150 m (492 ft) height than any other place in the world.

Most of Hong Kong's high-rise buildings are concentrated along Hong Kong Island's northern shore, Kowloon, New Kowloon, and in the New Towns (satellite towns) of the New Territories, such as Tuen Mun or Sha Tin. Additional high-rises are located on Ap Lei Chau, along Hong Kong Island's southern shoreline and areas in proximity to stations of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR).

The skyline of Hong Kong is considered amongst the best in the world, with the surrounding mountains and Victoria Harbour complementing the skyscrapers. Each evening, at least 44 skyscrapers and buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour light up in a synchronised show called A Symphony of Lights, named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest permanent light and sound festival in the world.
