The Summit (left) with Highcliff

Due to the visual effect of its proximity to Highcliff, another very thin and tall building, the two together are often referred to as "The Chopsticks".^{[by whom?]} These two buildings highlight the characters of pencil-thin towers that are highly concentrated in Hong Kong.^[4]
