The Silver Thong Posted July 6, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2006 well I don't know about a space ship I am thinking it's a rather cool building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted July 6, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well unless the Chinese are in the habit of building huge space shuttles on the water front in Hong Kong (one of the most densely populated places on Earth) I would say common sense should tell you that this is a building.

Lilly Posted July 8, 2006 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yes, it's in Hong Kong. And yes, it is indeed a building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted July 8, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 8, 2006 As it is now well established that this is a building maybe it is time to let this thread die a natural death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj47 Posted July 10, 2006 #12 Share Posted July 10, 2006 As it is now well established that this is a building maybe it is time to let this thread die a natural death. Would be cool if it was a space shuttle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian McMalley Posted July 10, 2006 #13 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I wonder what the building is for? It might be an art building, or a science museum or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted July 10, 2006 #14 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I wonder what the building is for? It might be an art building, or a science museum or something. It is a Mass Transit Railway station with a shopping plaza located above. It is built on the former site of the British "Admiralty Dock". Sources: Wikipedia, Hong Kong Street Map I've said it before, is there really any reason to keep this thread going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A+Certified Posted July 10, 2006 #15 Share Posted July 10, 2006 it looks alittle like the sydney opera house from a birds eye view, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because you're wrong. It's the HONG KONG CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTRE, located in Wan Chai, which is just about half a mile away from Admiralty. The closest MTR exit is at least 500 yards away. Either way, it's not a spaceship although it does look rather strange from bird's eye. The person who said it resembles the Sydney Opera House was spot on; it sort of does. Here's a pic: Edited June 13, 2007 by Waspie_Dwarf reduced size of picture as it was distorting the page.

Waspie_Dwarf Posted June 13, 2007 #17 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes, because you're wrong. I may have been wrong in the specifics but the point that it is just a building still stands. Was there really any need to resurrect what was a rather pointless thread in the first place and one that had died a natural death nearly year ago? As it is now more than adequately established that this object is a building (and indeed which building it is) I am going to close this thread so that it doesn't return to haunt us in another 11 months.
