Great people, great service, but can be slow; they do things a bit of the old fashion way inside. More

Not such a pretty building outside, but inside it is designed so well: lots of natural light, efficient and friendly banking, the temperature is always just right without the air-con breeze too! More

I can only tell about the HSBC Brand at Hong Kong airport terminal. Their service is excellent as always. Very helpful. Even online support is English is efficient. My biggest complaint and frustration is the service at the airport branch. There aren't enough staff to service customers at the counters! Hope they will improve on that. However, highly recommended.

An incredible building, it is rare because it was prefabricated in the UK with five steel modules, shipped to HK and constructed on site. It has the longest free-standing escalators and good feng-shui because of it's location (on one of five dragon veins of the dragon with a clear view of the harbour on HK island) and a dragon's gate...

Personally I love the structure of this building, all steel and glasses, the long escalator take you up to main lobby, almost like a futuristic movies set design, maybe in the future, everything would look very much like this, who knows what the future will bring? another 50 years or 100 years? worth a close look if you are curious,...

I think the older bank building looks better than the current HSBC building even though the architecture may be quite special. Don t think this can attract tourist to see it. More

If you go visit the HSBC bank then just about everyone will notice the lions sitting in the front. If you look closely at the lions then you will notice that they have holes in them. These holes are not part of the original design nor caused by rust or other weather elements. These holes were cause by getting hit... More

We visited this building on a heritage tour of Hong Kong. Not only impressive that it could be dismantled piece by piece to be relocated if necesary,but step inside. Well ride the escalator onto the first foor and you feel instant calm. No photos are allowed to be taken. Exit on the upslope away from the lions and feel the... More

The HSBC main building is quite interesting from a historical, Feng Shui and financial importance perspective. It also makes for an attractive addition to the Hong Kong skyline, best viewed from Kowloon across Victoria Harbor. However, it is also a nice building to view from up close. The two bronze bulls in front of the building make for a nice... More
