Let's decide which city should be the next sticky one? The criteria should include the city development, historical importance, picture quality, people's preference etc.

Note that we already have four sticky cities in this forum:
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and the latest one Chongqing :)

(Multi-selecting poll, closing after 100 days)

Chengdu Nanjing Hangzhou Wuhan Tianjing

Xi'an 西安！

In this order: Tianjin, Chengdu, Nanjing, Shenyang, (Wuhan), (Hangzhou), (Xi'an).

shoot, I didn't know that I could pick more than one city. Anyway, my choice is Nanjing.

Tianjin, no doubt!

Nanjing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Xi'an

Mainly Nanjing, Tianjin and Wuhan

nanjing ,hangzhou ,chengdu

to be honest the best source for skyscraper related projects is the chinese website gaoloumi.com.

Only problem it is in Chinese. Therefore my suggestion: lets change the outlook of the China section of skyscrapercity to something similar they have done - split it into different domestic geographic regions (e.g. East China, North China, North East China) and create subsections for each major city. This will greatly help to increase the overview on this section.

But this is something the big guys on ssc have to agree to. so let us pressure them :)

I was thinking the same last night. The only way is to split Cityscpes into several regional sections (e.g. East China, North China, North East China). But I don't have the privilege to do that so I have to ask other Mod's help.

^^ Can't decide which so I actually voted all of them :lol:

All of these Chinese cities are "photogenic" :lol:

Just curious, are you Chinese?

Just curious, are you Chinese?

Nope. :nuts:

It's obvious in my profile where I'm from... :lol:

I'm not chinese neither.... I mean I'm not a mainlander. ;)

Why is Chengdu so underrated? It's a huge city growing really fast. It's the only big city in Sichuan and has large influence in that region. In my opinion it has larger influence in western China than Tianjin has on northern China. I see advertisements of Chengdu all over world.

I agree. Chengdu is deffinately underrated. Perhaps more so when most people on this forum is chinese from the coastal cities.

But as a skyscrapercity, Tianjin has an edge on Chengdu, and the projects in Tianjin in second to none right now.

Whether or not Chengdu or Nanjing deserves the next sticky after Tianjin is more interresting :)

tianjin dalian or nanjing

Tianjin and Nanjing are taking the lead so far. I'm surprise Wuhan is not receiving many votes here.

I second the motion. :)

Tianjin

Why is Tianjin so popular?
The city has a tiny inner-city and rest sprawly suburbs compared to Wuhan, Chengdu, and Shenyang. I don't think that Tianjin will ever be a really big city, just something between medium to big at most. It isn't growing too fast whereas Chengdu and Wuhan are surrounded with vast amount of high density-country side with people moving in at a faster rate. I find Shenyang to be a larger city and more important than Tianjin since Shenyang is the main metropolis in northeast China.

China has 4 municipalities. Tianjin is the only one which does not have a sticky here.

Funnily: only 3 Politburo members have been disgraced after 1989:
Chen Xitong, Party chief of Beijing, caught in 1995, sentenced in 1998 to 16 years for corruption, released in 2006 for ill health, has not died in the 5 years since and age 71;
Chen Liangyu, Party chief of Shanghai, caught in 2006, sentenced in 2008 to 18 years for fraud and bribery;
Bo Xilai, Party chief of Chongqing, caught March 2012, has not been sentenced or indeed charged yet;

So only Tianjin municipality Party chief is left.

What is Zhang Gaoli guilty of?

The three big fishes have no intrinsic political links with the cites. Just coincidence.

Zhang could be charged in connection with anything if he were to be phased out in the power (presumed he's involved in a political power struggle in the central government).

Back on the topic.

When the mainland forum is divided into several regional subforums, we can put more sticky threads on the top of each subforum and wont be an eyesore to hamper the browsing experience. Like in North China one, Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan and Hohhot all can stay top.

I think don't need sticky thread
Great cities like Shanghai ou Beijing always on top

i think you guys voted tianjin because of its population and that it an independent municipality, not any other criteria

i voted tianjin because it is coastal

Obey the choice :nuts:

I find Shenyang to be a more important city since it's the hub of northeast China while Beijing is the hub for north China. Shenyang has a larger urban city, Tianjin looks big on paper because the municipality stretches far out to country side, Tianjin just have a quite tiny inner-city with large amounts of suburbs surrounding.

Tianjin might look good in terms of skyscrapers and development but that's all, it's just a bit a head of the rest big cities. Wait 8 years and you will see that Tianjin has been surpassed by cities such as Shenyang, Chengdu, and Wuhan.
