Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

This convention center is known for the Golden Bauhinia statue in front of it, a symbol of Hong Kong's independence from the British.

I had been looking forward to re-visit the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) as soon as I knew I was going to HK. This huge exhibition centre, with a rooftop designed to echo a bird soaring in flight, was built in 1997. It was used to host the 1997 HK handover ceremony and was also voted as the Best Convention & Exhibition Centre in Asia many years ago. To me, the most attractive feature of HKCEC is its exterior design and its architecture, as it's also a landmark of Hong Kong. Its rooftop was originally designed as a seabird in flight, but many people think it resembled the Sydney Opera House. Although I actually think it looks like a tortoise pulling the HK island towards the Kowloon peninsula. Apart from its amazing exterior, I also admire the interior. HKCEC is a huge exhibition hall which covers over 53,000m2. It houses 2 x 5,700 convention halls, 8,000m2 of function areas, 2 theatres, 52 meeting rooms, 7 restaurants and a huge open space area. Due to its advantageous harbourfront position, it also offers a fantastic view of the HK island skyline through its vast curtain of glass windows. We strolled up and down the exhibition halls and had a fantastic time exploring. The only downside was the building looked a bit dated than I remembered 20 years ago, but I believed it was just reasonable wear and tear. Personally, I love this venue due to my personal interest in beautiful and modern architecture. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea as it's actually only a huge exhibition hall after all. However, I'll still recommend it to anyone who is nearby, or at least to go in and have a look at the inside of this beautiful building.
