The Bank of China Tower: A Symbol of Coexistence The iconic Bank of China Tower, a 70 story skyscraper that dominated Hong Kong's skyline when it opened in 1990, stands as a testament to the city's unique blend of East and West.
Its construction was not just an architectural feat but also a symbol of the fragile harmony between China and Britain at the height of their joint governance.
The SCMP archive reveals that the opening ceremony was a masterclass in diplomatic courtesy.
