Langham Place Office Tower

Langham Place Office Tower – wieżowiec w Hongkongu. Ta 59-piętrowa wieża została wybudowana w 2004 roku. Budowa rozpoczęła się w roku 1999, a zaprojektował ją Wong & Ouyang (HK) and The Jerde Partnership. Koszt budowy tego budynku wyniósł HK$10 300 000 000. Wieżowiec ma 59 pięter nad ziemią i 5 pod nią, które są wykorzystywane jak parking. Piętra nad ziemią są wykorzystywane w celach biurowych. Jego całkowita powierzchnia wynosi 93 153 m² Jest najwyższym budynkiem w Koulun. Cały budynek jest pokryty odbijającym światło niebieskimi szkłem. Wieżowiec iluminuje w nocy w piątek, sobotę i niedzielę jako świetlne show powoli zmieniając kolory. Budynek ten pomaga zademonstrować konflikt dzisiejszego Koulun. Z jednej strony pozostało ruchliwym, zatłoczonym, mającym swoje osobliwości i szokującym zapachami. Z drugiej strony natomiast jest ono rzeczywistością współczesnych Chin: strzeliste wieżowce ze szkła, stali, i pysznienie się takimi budynkami jak Lahgam Place Office Tower. W czasie jego budowy był to największy urbanistyczny projekt odnowienia Hongkongu w całej jego historii. Zwykło się mówić o terenie na którym stoi budynek „Mong Kok Six Streets”. W miejscu tym żyło niegdyś w swoich apartamentach 6000 osób. Podpisano z nimi umowę, oraz przesiedlono do innej części miasta, po to aby zrobić miejsce dla futurystycznego projektu rozwoju, który zabrał 16 lat, ponieważ wiele posiadłości musiano wykupić od wielu różnych właścicieli. Wieżowiec jest usytuowany na skrzyżowaniu dwóch najbardziej zatłoczonych ulic Mong Kok: Aryle i Shanghai. Właściwe miejsce dla ukazania Hongkongu na rozdrożu brytyjskiej przeszłości i chińskiej przyszłości. Linki zewnętrzne Emporis – Langham Place Office Tower SkyscraperPage – Langham Place Office Tower

It is operated by Langham Hotels International. History The hotel was built as part of an urban renewal project with three main elements: Langham Place shopping centre, hotel, and Langham Place Hotel. It was a joint venture development by the Great Eagle Group and the Urban Renewal Authority (URA). Started in 1988, the project cost HK$10 billion and was completed in 2004. Several city blocks were demolished to make way for the project, including the old "Bird Street" at Hong Lok Street (雀仔街), home to many grassroots birdsellers.

Viral marketing controversy In order to promote its hotels, the management hired Prosperity Research to produce a series of virals for an Internet social network campaign entitled 'Big Deal'. The videos were criticised for being poorly executed, and for making humour at the expense of local culture. The hotel management in response terminated its relationship with the company after its third video was published, removed the videos and apologised following negative response on Twitter LHI pulled the campaign due to "the potential to magnify the tone in a direction that was not intended." The group said the campaign was a "valuable lesson in communicating cultural differences in the social marketing environment and understanding the power social media holds."

Tung Lung Fort

Tung Lung Fort, also known as Fat Tong Fort, is a fort on the Tung Lung Chau on the south east water of Hong Kong. History It is said the fort was built as a part of a maritime defence system to protect trade and fend off pirates. The fort, according to one record, was built from 1719 to 1724 in the Kangxi era (1662-1722) to guard against pirates, after defeat of the Koxinga Administration in Taiwan. It is rumoured to have been attacked by the famous pirates Cheng Lien Chang and Cheng I, and more recently by the infamous Cheung Po Tsai. The fort was abandoned in 1810 when its personnel moved to another coast fort at the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula which would later become Kowloon Walled City. Features The fort is situated at the north-eastern part of the island, 35 m above the water with cliffs on three sides, and commands the Fat Tong Mun Channel. No vessel could pass through without being seen entering or leaving Joss House Bay. The fort may also have been a signal station, passing messages on to military headquarters in Kowloon. When in use it was staffed by an average of 25 sailors from the Tai-pang-hsi navy. Although no sketches or historic descriptions of the fort are available, observation of the ruins has given an idea of the structure. It was rectangular, composed of 10 feet high rubble stone walls provided with an arch-shaped brick gate for the guards to pass in and out. Conservation Tung Lung Fort became a declared monument in 1977 and was restored in 1988. Tung Lung Fort Special Area was designated in 1979 and covers 3 hectares. The Area contains a fort and a campsite. References Further reading Siu, Anthony K. K. (1978). "The Fat Tong Mun Fort (or the Tung Lung Fort)" (PDF).

Fort de Tung Lung

Le fort de Tung Lung (東龍洲炮台), aussi appelé fort de Fat Tong, est un site historique de Hong Kong situé sur l'île de Tung Lung Chau (en) et datant du XVIIIe siècle. En service à partir de 1724, il servait à lutter contre la piraterie et contrôlait le canal de Fat Tong Mun (en) et l'entrée est de la baie de Tai Miu Wan (en). Il est abandonné en 1810. Histoire Le fort aurait été construit dans le cadre de l'édification d'un système de défense maritime destiné à protéger le commerce et repousser les pirates. La forteresse, selon une chronique historique, est construite de 1719 à 1724 durant le règne de l'empereur Kangxi pour se prémunir contre les pirates, après la destruction du royaume de Tungning fondé par le pirate Koxinga à Taïwan. Le fort aurait été attaqué par les célèbres pirates Cheng Lien Chang et Cheng I, et plus tard par le tristement célèbre Cheung Po Tsai. Il est abandonné en 1810 lorsque sa garnison est transférée dans un autre fort côtier situé à la pointe de la péninsule de Kowloon et qui deviendra plus tard connu sous le nom de citadelle de Kowloon. Description Le fort est situé dans la partie nord-est de l'île de Tung Lung Chau (en), à 35 m au-dessus de la mer, avec des falaises sur trois côtés, et commande le canal de Fat Tong Mun (en). Aucun navire ne pouvait passer sans être vu entrant ou sortant de la baie de Tai Miu Wan (en). Le fort peut également avoir servi de station de signalisation, transmettant des messages au quartier général militaire de Kowloon. Lorsqu'il était utilisé, il était occupé par une moyenne de 25 hommes de la marine Tai-pang-hsi. Bien qu'aucun croquis ni description historique du fort n'existe, l'observation de ses ruines donne une idée de sa structure. Il était rectangulaire, composé de murs en moellons de 3 m de haut et munis d'une porte en brique en forme d'arc. Conservation Le fort de Tung Lung est classé monument historique en 1977 et restauré en 1988. Une « zone spéciale du fort de Tung Lung » de 3 hectares est créée en 1979 et contient le fort et un camping.
