Central Plaza, one of Hong Kong’s tallest buildings, looks garish with its glass skin of three colours – gold, silver and terracotta. It's possible to access the 46th floor for panoramic harbour views. Central Plaza provides direct connection to Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre and Wan Chai MTR station through an elevated pedestrian footbridge.
