Bank of China Tower and HSBC rebuilt

Two of Central's landmarks have been rebuilt to match the real buildings: the Bank of China Tower and the HSBC Main Building.

What is new

Bank of China Tower (1990). The old model used the wrong shape. It is now a 52 m square cut along its diagonals into four triangular prisms that stop at floors 25, 38, 51 and 70, each with a sloping roof. White X-bracing crosses every face, there are columns at the four corners and the centre, and two 52 m masts stand on the tallest roof.
Bank of China at night. The bracing, columns and roof edges glow as lines of white-blue light, the way the tower is lit over the harbour. The glass shows lit floors, and the mast lights flash red.
HSBC Main Building (1985). It is now the steel coat-hanger structure: eight masts, each a cluster of four tubes, carry five levels of double-storey trusses with exposed X-bracing. The glass floors hang in three stepped sections (29, 35 and 44 storeys) over an open plaza, with the atrium wall on the harbour side, the sunscoop mirror on the south face, window-cleaning gantries on the roof and the two bronze lions at the door.
HSBC at night. The masts and trusses are floodlit and the atrium glows warm.

The sizes, the floor counts and the positions of the trusses and braces are from period photos and general knowledge of the buildings, not survey drawings.
The night lighting is a simple glow on the steel and the atrium. It does not copy any real light show.

中環兩座地標已經重新砌過，更貼近真實：中銀大廈同香港匯豐總行大廈。

中銀大廈（1990）。舊模型啲形狀唔啱。而家係一個 52 米正方形，沿對角線切成四個三角柱，分別去到 25、38、51 同 70 樓，每個頂部都係斜面。每一面都有白色交叉支撐，四個角同中心有柱，最高嗰個頂上企住兩支 52 米嘅天線。
夜晚嘅中銀。支撐、柱同頂邊會好似維港上面咁，亮起白藍色嘅光線。玻璃見到亮咗燈嘅樓層，天線燈會閃紅光。
匯豐總行大廈（1985）。而家係鋼鐵「衣架」結構：八條桁柱，每條由四支管組成，托住五層兩層樓高嘅桁架，外露交叉支撐。玻璃樓層分三段階梯式（29、35 同 44 層）吊喺開放廣場上面，海旁一面有中庭玻璃牆，南面有反光鏡，天台有洗窗吊機，門口有兩隻銅獅子。
夜晚嘅匯豐。桁柱同桁架有泛光燈照住，中庭透出暖光。
