Don't be a fool.......perhaps his opinions come from experience. There is more to a city than a pretty skyline and fancy lights.

And by the way, british companies are amongst the largest investors in the growing Chinese Market.

certainly there is more to a city than a pretty skyline and fancy lights,but in this thread only talk about city scene,if you want to compare more,please open another thread like city's culture in the last 1000 years or city's economic status in the world,but............ :)
it's a shame that one of the largest investors in china hasnt got the buildings in his own country like he invested in china.....

I don`t think that the new buildings in London are ugly. They are not so tall but extrem beautiful like the Moore House or the 30 St Mary Axe.

Never represent his own opinion so don`t hate a whole country for one person.

I have seen pics from Beijing and Shanghai. In my opinion, the buildings in Beijing are more beautiful. They are smaller but with more interesting shapes and fasades.

But to be true i would travel at first to Shanghai and then to Beijing, i think its because of the skyscrapers :)

It looks like clowns themselves designed some of the architecture in the city! Other than that, great photos!

It is patently obvious that shanghai, HK, even beijing have much more sizeable skyscrapers than those in the UK. I am not debating this fact. Do you know how much it costs to build in the UK. One modest building of 300m has been proposed for london with a project cost of approx $2Billion (2,000,000,000) You could build five of those in china for that price. The UK is a mature economy. London is the financial trading centre of the world.

You keep building your towers and fill them with telephone operators. It's a good impression you are giving, but only an impression.

There is no doubt London is one of the greatest city in the world. We didn't say anything to negate it!
look at this thread, the first words without respect are not said by Chinese, but it is full of the discrimination in your words. It seems people from such a "grentlemanly" country can't suffer the improvement of China.

i quite agree what you said about london.i like this city just as beijng and shanghai or new york or other fantastic city in the world.london was financial trading centre of the world and still is and hopefully it still will be...china is a young country but also engergetic.you must know the difference beween sunset and sunrise.

mind you the towers we've builded are filled with telephone operators as well as more and more brits.

OMG... stop arguing over someone calling Shanghai a boring, grey city. Its someone's opinion and they have the right to say whatever they want as long as they're not forcing us to believe it too... so instead of fighting and stuff, why don't you explain or show them how Shanghai isn't what they say...

Far from it my friend. I am happy and excited at Chinas success and would like to congratulate you. You are a confident country, which is good, but don't turn that into arrogance. Like I said, Our country stands to gain from your improvement...it is predicted that your economy will overtake ours within 5 years to become the worlds 3rd strongest. However, you still have a long way to go to better our standard of living.

It's a good impression you are giving, but only an impression.
apparently it is not only an impression but impression indicating its booming and astonished development.

Arrogance? Did you mean Chinese people arrogance? As I know is that all the arguement was just from a single opinion in the B'ham thread. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=158132
So you could see obviously who is arrogance.
We didn't say any F word or bad languages to u guys, so I think Chinese people are always friendly to you. but hv a look of the words from British supporter, it's really unacceptable!! So that's why Chinese were unhappy with that and maybe said something which u guys felt "arrogance". That's all! end of story!

OK fung. I apologise on their behalf for offensive language.

Lets get back to Shanghai....don't want to ruin a thread because of non existant rivalries between the UK (the setting sun) and China (the rising sun).
I'll go and prepare for the fall of the UK.

watch out,guys...if u say more,birmingham's 'never' could give you some 'F' words..:)

Never's not from or of Birmingham...

some of those night skyline shots look good, some really tacky.

i really like the street level pics in this thread, with the time-lapsed blurs of people walking around...and the ones with the highways. far more interesting than just some lit up skyscrapers.

anyway, "OMG!!! IT GLOWS!!!"

-

I just want you too see my pics,no matter what attitude do you have .
Do not quarrel in this thread,we know China still has a long way to go.

what the hell is wrong with some of you people.... a thread with awesome night skyline shots of shanghai and some british goon has to come in here and bitch about china's commie blocks and human rights record?

so predictable :|

:rant: boring and grey city...i'm sorry to say that-_-
I am a Chinese and live in Newcastle NOW!
So I found you really make me confused.....
You are really funny.....:rant:

Hey~me too my friend~
Really?!!
Great, my friend!

To Mr never:
I only want to know:Have you been to CHINA?

What's Newcastle's wealthiest estate called then, you still have not answered it and btw I merely pasted what Fung said about Birmingham, seems you don't like your cities called boring and grey either.

I don't usually write ill of any one's city or home and have nothing against China it is Fung that started all this and I can't be bothered to argue over Fung's words which as I said I merely pasted on to a comment here to see how you liked them.

Hello,my fellow Chinese friends,let's stop quarreling with those Britishes...
Shanghai is a dynamic cities with increditable progress in recent years,as you see the shots are fantastic!So,nobody could ignore our achievement in the past few years in Shanghai or China as a whole.
But,we are still a developing country,and the development between East and West,urban and rural are serious unequal,the standard of living is still quite low.China needs more 'ShangHai','ShenZhen','GuangZhou'.Let's stop exchanging waters but work a little harder!

And those British friends better give some constructive suggestions while not critical assessments.And,please don't miss your target,we are talking about Skyline not Human Rights or Britian's Next Princess-- ?.

:)

Which British forumers, from what I have read your arguing with Americans there's nothing for me to argue about or say except perhaps don't post deregatory comments about UK Cities and I won't paste the comments back on to one of your threads.

both sides need to calm down.
Enjoy the photoes

"boring and gray" was just my opinion about ur favorite B'ham, I was been to there and so disappointed.that's all! nothing more nothing less.OK? you haven't been to Shanghai and pasted my words for B'ham, the problem is yours not mine! OK????
U can't accept my words and give a lot of bullshit and F words coz' u r so arrogance and ignorant!! People can easily check this out in ur thread:
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=158132

If u disagree with my opinion, why don't u just told me why u love it but not the China's human rights and free Tibet picture?? Can I call that discrimination huh???

I just respect the people who respects me. very simple.

Phenomenon in pictures....superb! :cool:

If u just want to hear the positive or laudatory comments, that's FINE!~
Birmingham is really booming!! What a COOL city!!! I think Birmingham is the best city on this planet!! Better than NYC and HK!! WOW!! I'm dreaming someday I can live there!! Thanks for your fantastic pictures!!!!

China and Britain are two very different countries, both great countries and have lots to be proud of. Of course the cityscapes have diiferent characteristics.. That's exactly what makes the world interesting right? British cities as most other European cities lack of skyscrapers, that's a truth, but they also develope in their unique way. China is a rapidly developing country, plus it has a centralised government, which makes skyscraper building a lot easier and more realistic in China...
Chinese cities are new and futuristic looking, British cities are moderate and traditional looking. there's nothing wrong with either! so please calm down and open your heart to the diiference :)

Never~~~ you really represent your country very well here... a truely 'sun-set' Empire.. with more and more ignorant people like you. :)


It doesn't really matter what he thinks, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Just because one person thinks that Shanghai is boring doesnt make the city dull or not interesting.

I think it was the tones in which some of the chinese forumers were talking about the british people and dying empire. It is a subtle and 'innocent' lack of respect, but they know what they are trying to say. I didn't like it, but I do think that attacking other peoples countries on an internet forums is petty and needless.

Shanghai has a fantastic skyline, but even if I thought it was tacky or built on the blood of the poor, filled with unskilled monkeys, built more for show than for necessity, whatever, I would not post such a comment. (this is a subtle statement of disrespect...do you get my point?)

Human rights+F words first,and then dying empire. do you get my point?

I should say u are really respectful, coz' there's no F words in ur post.

I just found a very interesting thing: why british people always "fighting" with others in this forums? just hv a look of the site below:

BTW, I vote for BA without thinking, I'm not a fan for either, just don't like British forumers attitudes here!

yeah!!nice

Not everyone want to quarrel,help yourselves!

Anyway, very nice pics! Shanghai looks amazing~

Beautiful pics, some ridiculous comments.
If someone's not impressed by those pics, I wouldn' t understand, but... so what? Grow up guys. Let's enjoy pics and discussion, forget cheap nationalism. We don' t need it here and anywhere.

lets just talk about the beauty of the photos please!

that's not exactly true. the construction and land cost in hong kong is as expensive as uk's and shanghai is catching up as well.

wow,,,,,, nice pics,,,

wow，great

There are a lot a britishes in New York City, and seems pround of their accent. That's the only thing OMG, but it is the first time that I heard that someone say Shanghai is boring. I have british friend, they like Shanghai as they like Hong Kong.
The one who said so maybe is not British?
Btw, China is a country with more than 5,000 years history.
Don't worry, we are together to deny someone who said Shanghai is a 'boring grey city', he must be crazy by some reasons. :bash:

Do you know that Chicago will have more direct flights to Shanghai by American Airlines soon (Non-stop), while United Airlines is operating the Non-stop from Chicago to Shanghai. From Europe, Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa and Vigin Atlantic, British Airways and Vigin Atlantic all flies to Shanghai, who said its boring? (if that's from European or Ameriacan people's point of view? I doubt)

:bash:

take easy mate, they can't change anything..

a great city,shanghai it is...
