    What is the Yellow Building in Kowloon Cultural District?

    Hello all,

    From my building I can see a grey and yellow building on the Kowloon side of the habour near the sign for the Kowloon Cultural District, near the Kowloon entrance to the Western tunnel.

    It's out on it's own and looks a bit like a broken Transformer (the kids tv, not the electrical part).

    Does anyone have any idea what this building is? Nobody in my office has the first clue and I'm curious!

    Even if you could tell me what it is called so I can look it up!

    Thanks!

    This thing?


    If so, it is part of the West Kowloon Cultural District ventilation buildings: blue one is for the Western Harbour Road Tunnel and yellow one is for the Airport Express tunnel.

    A little dated, but can be a good resource for finding building names. At the very least great marvel of cheap labor....

    I've always thought it's more like a Dyson vacuum cleaner. I suppose it does suck air...

    Agree that it would be more fun as a transformer. Wait till it stands up!
