| 20 of the world's most iconic skyscrapers Posted: 25 Sep 2011 03:00 PM PDT "The higher the buildings, the lower the morals," said Noël Coward. We don't entirely agree. In fact, we feel far too much is made of a skyscraper's height, when there's so much more to reflect on. With the help of A. Eugene Kohn, founder and chairman of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), one of the world's largest architectural firms, and Michael Greene, KPF Principal, here are 20 skyscrapers that have come to define the mood and character of their cities, and, in some cases, the world.

| Best 5 Hong Kong running routes Posted: 25 Sep 2011 02:59 PM PDT  At first glance, Hong Kong doesn't appear to be an ideal place for a dedicated runner. The streets are clogged, the sidewalks are narrow and the terrain is steep. Not to mention the air pollution. But somehow Hong Kong supports a vibrant running community. The 2010 Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, the biggest running event of the year, drew more 60,000 registered runners.    |
| Kamakura death trip: The holy city's most haunted hangouts Posted: 25 Sep 2011 02:55 PM PDT  Kamakura, a beautiful beach city 50 kilometers southwest of the capital, has long been the day trip of choice for Tokyoites in the mood to get out of the big city in a hurry. Ask a dozen people for their favorite stops and you'll inevitably hear about famed holy sites like the Daibutsu (Great Buddha) statue of Kotokuin Temple or the opulent Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. These places are great and definitely worth a visit, but there's a darker, less well-known side of this storied destination as well -- a place where history and horror meet. The spots on our alternative tour aren't exactly secret, but they sure aren't on many tour lists either. 1. Kamakuragu Shrine    |

| Will the Great Barrier Reef die by 2050? Posted: 25 Sep 2011 12:58 PM PDT As scientists debate warming waters that could destroy the world's largest living thing, tour operators ponder their future Australia's Great Barrier Reef seems indestructible from afar: its 2,600-kilometer-long clusters of corals are even visible from outer space. But on closer examination, the story loses some of its beauty. The reef -- along with the multi-billion dollar tourist industry it supports -- could be extinct by 2050. That is what some scientists are warning will happen if nothing is done to halt the impact of human-induced climate change. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are causing oceans to warm, they argue, bleaching the reef's corals to death.    |
