Sky100 is a 360-degree indoor observation deck, which offers views of Hong Kong Island, Victoria Harbour, the Kowloon Peninsula and Tai Mo Shan. [1]
History
[edit]Sun Hung Kai Properties held a naming contest for the new observation deck. Both the English and Chinese name were selected among 3,000 entries in May 2010.
Facilities
[edit]Aside from the view of Hong Kong, Sky100 contains several other attractions including a Paris-style eatery called Café 100 on the west side. Other features include a virtual reality (VR) attraction, augmented reality photo-taking, and a photo booth.
Sky100's Advanced Telescope provides "sunny day setting" and pre-recorded views from bright days, and on-screen indicators point to landmarks. Other settings include night views and fireworks. Interactive touch screens dot the deck, offering facts, tips and an itinerary planner.[1]
Race to ICC-100
[edit]Since 2012, Sky100 has also served as the finish point for the annual "Race to ICC-100—SHKP Vertical Run for the Chest", organised by Sun Hung Kai Properties (Developer of the International Commerce Centre) and The Community Chest of Hong Kong.
The race begins at Level 8 and winds its way up the building's staircases to Sky100. The event is normally held in early December.
