It will look really cool when completed! 8)

Right.
But it will scream "I belong with the other ones, ten miles away".

This should've been put in Kowloon.

How long does it take to get there from the nearest metro station ?

superchan7 · #25 Posted **Feb 1, 2004, 2:03 AM**

I don't know exactly (never roamed around that area much), but Tsuen Wan Station shouldn't be too far away.

MTR Tsuen Wan station : half a mile.
KCR West Rail Tsuwn Wan West station : 2 minutes walk.

I have no idea where in the world Tsuen Wan West KCR-WR station is...apparently neither do any of my relatives or friends.

Thanks. I'll explore the area next time I'm in HK.

The tower looks good, I would love to see some more recent photos though.

How far is this tower from IFC2,BoC etc?

For reference, from IFC2, you can walk to World Wide House via the footbridge, there is a City Bus bus-stop along Connaught Road for Route 930. It goes by Nina Tower in Tsuen Wan and there's a bus-stop near the building. You can see the skyline if you're heading back to Central. From recent photos I saw here and the site itself tongiht, there isn't much difference and the progress seems to slow down....

Thanks for the tip, but is it worth taking the bus instead of the KCR ?
Is it a scenic trip ? or much cheaper than the KCR ?

Lecom · #33 Posted **Feb 2, 2004, 7:58 PM**

How is it gonna affect the skyline?

superchan7 · #34 Posted **Feb 2, 2004, 9:44 PM**

The downtown skyline, not at all. It will create a focal point for the Tsuen Wan area, which is for the most part pretty run-down, with old residential blocks and industrial buildings. There are quite a few urban renewal projects going on there.

Fabb · #35 Posted **Feb 2, 2004, 9:57 PM**

Is it some kind of gentrification ?
The new complex will include a luxury hotel.

Not as scenic as the Airport bus to HK Island. #930 is a shorter version where you can see developments in Lai King, Mei Fo, Lai Chi Kok, Cheung Sha Wan, Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, Olympic City, and The Harbourside...etc
