The ticketing office lobby has a futuristic design which is dominated by the glass and metal, white color, with ultra violet light. Really love the interior design, the impression is modern and classy by using high technology instruments. All information is shown very clear and detail n English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

After buying the tickets, which cost HK$ 168 for adult, we went straight to the elevator to go up to the observation deck that located on the 100^th floor. And this is one of the best features of Sky100, since they use exceptional swift double-deck high-speed elevators, which reach the 100^th floor in just 60 seconds! When in the elevator, there is a screen that displays a countdown for 60 seconds, and when countdown finished, you already being on the 100^th floor. Incredible!

When arriving on the 100^th floor, you are greeted by a lobby with a hallway leading to the stunning view. Along the floor of the hallway, there is a glass floor that in which there are miniature or scale model of Hong Kong city.

As I mentioned above, besides always visit the landmark or the tallest building in the country I visited, I also collects miniature of the building. And now I will add this one to my collection.. 😀

On 101st floor, there is a café serving local snacks and refreshments for the visitors while enjoying the beautiful and breathtaking view of Hong Kong.

There is a section on the wall that tells visitors about the local culture and traditions of the people in Hong Kong in every season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). There is also displayed a chart showing that ICC is the number 7th tallest commercial building in yhe world.

Overall, Sky100 is an indoor observation deck offering 360-degree views on Hong Kong. The view is really stunning and magnificent.
