The building on the right Is mine and Alex's favourite, it's the bank of China. Apparently the building didn't go down very well with the residents and authorities. There are many rules and regulations of how the buildings should be built. The buildings have to fit in with the nature around, even though there isn't much they must take into account feung shui of the building with its surroundings. There was apparently was much critiscism of the design of the building for its negative symbolism. The criss-cross structure doesnt fit in too well with the basis of feung shui. Crossings like that are the signs of the devil or death and therefor the building was the source of much controversy at one time, although I think a lot of that has now been lost as it became one of Hong Kong's major landmarks.
