The outlook of the Two International Finance Center is famous of its simple, steady and  “The width of the tower is 56.960 meters at the base, and 39.148 meters at the main roof, according to the blueprint.”[2] The indented top of the building makes it to look slimmer, smart, light and tall. The large amount of glass brings more nature light into the office rooms during day time, relaxing the people inside. While during the nights, the building would be lighted up. It looks just like a torch standing right besides the Victoria Harbor, shining and waving to Kowloon Island, and to the entire world. The Two International Finance Center is the symbol of the Victoria Harbor which is one of the most famous harbor all over the world and famous by its night scenery.
