Central Plaza, Hong Kong, China
The Central Plaza is the tenth tallest building in the world. Standing tall at a height of 374 metres (1,227 feet) and 78 floors, it is a business nerve centre.
Built in 1992, the Central Plaza was the tallest building in Asia for four years and remains Hong Kong's second tallest after Two International Finance Centre.
The complex has a pyramid on the roof where the world's highest church is located. Central Plaza was also the tallest reinforced concrete building in the world, until it was surpassed by Citic Plaza.
The building uses a triangular floor plan. On the top of the tower is a four-bar neon clock that indicates the time by displaying different colors in 15 minute intervals.
