That settles it...

The Hong Kong Cultural Centre is a girl.
I will have to go and retake all the photographs in light of this new discovery.
I had wondered, what with all the curves. But the placement of the clock tower and it's vast faceless tiled exterior gave it a distinctly male air.
Maybe the pink tiles should have given this one away.
It was designed by Hong Kong's Architectural Services Department and took ten years to build (from the foundation stone laid in 1979 to completion in 1989).
The 45 metre clock tower is where the trains from London would end the longest railway journey in the world.
And look how it's lit up.
And that's all I have.
