10/10 Thanks for the great pictures! Seems like any picture of the HK skyline would be superb.

Hong Kong is 10/10. What a great city and it's just gets better as they build more skyscrapers and infractructure.

The pictures in this thread are absolutely impressive, I think I took over an hour just looking at all of them.

Mosaic · April 25th, 2006, 10:42 AM

^right!!! 10/10 as always.

diz · April 27th, 2006, 06:14 AM

omg... 10/10.

People who vote less than a 7.5 don't deserve eyes.

Actually make that vote less than a 9.

Kowloon, Hong Kong, China

SCROLL

Dallascaper · May 1st, 2006, 03:07 AM

9.5

Knocked off .5 point for the repetitive residential towers. Other than that, HK is perfect; my favorite skyline in the world.

***Manila-X*** · May 2nd, 2006, 08:41 AM

HK Island - 10
Kowloon - 9.5
New Territories / Lantau - 9

In the future probably - although I hope they leave NT and Lantau green really...

dżimi pejdż · May 2nd, 2006, 09:53 AM

10/10 but without Bank of China Tower I'd give 9/10

Its still gonna be green like HK Island.

But I would hate it if Kowloon's skyline overtakes HK Island. I still prefer the old fashion skyline that you see from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay as being the most dominant in the city.

Cunning Linguist · May 4th, 2006, 01:36 AM

I don't think Kowloon will ever overtake HK island purely because there's more flat land over there, meaning they don't have to build so high.

It will certainly continue to improve though now Kai Tak is gone.

LSyd · May 4th, 2006, 06:38 PM

10. 2nd best skyline during the day (NYC still has that,) but HK has it at night.

Yes, this is bound to happen unfortunately. The best thing to do is to take these polls with a grain of salt. Vote what you truly believe in, there's no need to fake anything

ChicagoSkyline · May 5th, 2006, 08:13 AM

Yes, I think that HK is particular shocking at nite for being the most well dress for the occasion in the Big 3s!

BTW, you wondering why Chicago doesn't do the firework shows like HK during New Years...remember Chicago's great fire! I think that our chicagoan just trying to take precaution!
HK is really something, by having fireworks on supertalls, that is just nuts!

***i_am_hydrogen*** · May 5th, 2006, 10:05 AM

I just realized I never voted for HK's skyline. HK is unquestionably among the top three skylines in the world and is regarded by many as the best skyline in the world. Staggering in its extent and almost unmatched in its height, HK's skyline is a superlative in every respect. It looks gorgeous day or night and features some of the most forward-thinking modern designs anywhere in the world, to wit: 2IFC and Bank of China. And as HK's skyline evolves, it will continue to maintain its informal title as one of the world's true "skyscraper cities."

10/10

_00_deathscar · May 9th, 2006, 07:25 PM

How can any SANE person vote ANYTHING less than an 8?

Shafick · May 14th, 2006, 12:51 AM

Hong Kong is really amazing and impressive... 10 points

Mosaic · May 14th, 2006, 10:49 AM
