Doesn't this look like a giant spaceship?

Check this image out on google earth, all I know is that its in China and looks like an enourmous ship. Its probably just a building but it makes you wonder right?

Yeah it's a nice building

that is actually the Hong Kong conference and exhebition centre , built in 1988 and modernised and estended in 1997 .

please view the oficial website

the real issue that ATSers should question is why does google not have ANY reasonable resolution maps availiable for the Hong Kong area ??

see :



the satalite images off Google earth give better resolution that shown - but the map is PATHETIC

i woonder why -- is it a tech glitch , thats just happened , a copyright issue -- or something more sinister

however multimap.com do have a better resolution availiable , Yeah

MULTIMAP_EXPO CENTRE

A VERY FASCINATING BUILDING -- BUT NO SPACE SHIP -- NOT EVEN CLOSE

It does look like a spaceship Nice find.

Makes me wonder what the Sydney Opera House really is...............

No, it's like in Men In Black. They use spaceships as buildings to hide the true purpose.

....Those architects from the Sirius system... tsk, tsk, tsk.

Nice find

The weird thing is that it looks like its not really there. ITs as if the building is a computer generated image. It's probably just an illusion created by the resolution of the image, but it's still wierd.

It's good to know that if the building were separated from the ground, itwould be able to fly and land somewhere else...

very nice design. Props to the architect.
