The Bank of China Tower has became the icon of Hong Kong Island. The building has won several architectural awards. However, it resembled a knife aimed directly at the heart of the business district. The truth has it that Hong Kong faced a depressing economy when the building is officially opened. Stock market clashed causing death by suicide to reach an all-time high. To mitigate this, the building is crossed with neon lights to symbolize the sealing of the knife. And indeed, from then on, the economy started to recover. It is still in its recovering phase according to my half-day tour guide.
