Scenery around the Lookout of The Arch

The Lookout (瞭望層) of The Arch (凱旋門) is located on its 62nd floor. It provides a 270-degree view of the northern shore of Hong Kong Island and most of Kowloon, except West Kowloon which has been blocked by neighbouring tall buildings.

It is so interesting to be there to observe and take photos of the panorama view of the busiest parts of Hong Kong and Kowloon.

The Arch itself is easily recognizable by its door-like shape from Central and Tsimshatsui. It really looks like L’ Arc de Triomphe (巴黎凱旋門) in Paris, France. Few people know that the clubhouse (with a restaurant and a swimming pool) is launched in mid-air, right at the top of the arch.

Very interesting, where is this building exactly located? Is it a commercial building or a residential building? Do you have to pay to go up to the lookout?

It is a tall building next to my eldest brother's.

With the membership card of the Club at the Arch, a member can take his/her friends into the building. Maybe Karen gets one. Of course we don't have to pay anything at the Lookout. There is no telescope, otherwise we can see far.

It is a very high-cost residential building in the area.
