Manila's Luneta Park

Luneta is more of a park than a city square! I more look at Plaza Miranda in Quiapo as Manila's city square :D

Anyway, here's Statue Square in Hong Kong. It's one of the best city squares in Asia and one of my favorites :)

The square is surrounded by some of the world's tallest buildings with the finest post contemporary architectures. You have skysrapers such as the Bank Of China, HSBC Center, Cheung Kong Center and more surrounding the square. Some of the the city's most expensive and luxurious hotels like the Mandarin Oriental surrounds the square. Also some of the city's elegant boutiques and shopping centers like The Princess Building surrounds the square.

The Legislative Council, one of HK's governing body has it's building is located in the Square. The buildings also has a classical architecture. Hong Kong's Cityhall is nearby across the highway.

Chater Garden's greens provides some tranquility in Hong Kong's Central District. It's a nice place to relax and walk through as a relief to the fast-paced working environment.

The square serve as a crossroad for Hong Kong. It is very accessible either by Trams, MTR or public bus. The square also has an underpass that leads to The Star Ferry which provide daily trip to Kowloon.

On Sundays, the square become little Philippines where alot of Filipinos living in HK would gather and chat. Also, alot of Philippine themed events happen in the square every Sunday!

Hi everyone,

Kuala Lumpur main city square was built in the British era. Walking around that area is indeed a journey through time, from British Malaya to Modern Malaysia. It is home of the one of the tallest flagpole in the world at 100m. The clock tower, British style, is still the prime attraction there. Merdeka Square, Kuala Lumpur...
