Sky100
Sky100 (Chinese: 天際100) is a 360-degree indoor observation deck on the 100th floor of the International Commerce Centre,[1] in West Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was designed by international architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox.[citation needed]
Sky100 is located two floors below the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Hotel in the same building.[1] Visitors reach the observation deck using high speed elevators, which travel from the 2/F entrance to the 100/F in 60 seconds.[2]
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.[2]
The deck offers views of Hong Kong Island, full view of the Kowloon Peninsula and—weather permitting—the ridges that gave Kowloon its name and Tai Mo Shan in the background. [citation needed]
There is a café serving local snacks and refreshments as well as a restaurant serving international cuisines on the 101st floor.[2]

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.
