[EastSideResider]

I found these and HAD to post them, especially Shenzen.....

Shenzen, China (my favorite by far)

Shanghai, China (it is very um... interesting)

[cameronm]

i love sydney

[thedude26]

Toronto

Syndey

Frankfurt

Auckland

Havana

Tokyo

Shanghi

Heck, just about all of them.

Interesting that some of these cities most of us have never heard of in china have populations of over 5 million and very impressive skylines. I suppose a lot of them have grown up fairly recently.

Let's not forget about Rio!

Not very tall but definitely beautiful.

[asonj23]

Also the Panama skyline.

I didn't know they even had one until now...

That puppy is compact and TALL!!!

[asonj23]

Dubai is another great one!

They lack density, but make it up in height and uniqueness. This city definitely pushes the threshold.

What a great canyon effect!

[evan d]

it will look even nicer in 2008 too

Frankfurt

[mcheiss]

London because of it's history.

I think it's hard to an idea how advanced some of these cities are (like some of the ones pictured in china) until you see photographs of them... great thread!

I can't believe more people haven't said Melbourne.

Some have great skylines, but are not at all advanced in terms of quality of life.. for example I was watching Jay Leno last night and Eva Longoria was on, talking about a recent trip to Beijing. She said it was a shock when she noticed most babies there aren't in diapers - they wear pants which have a cut-out, and when the baby has to doodoo, they just do, right on the street or wherever! And the parents don't even have to clean it up.

Hearing things like that really puts into perspective how well we live here in the great land of America.

[Lancer]

Definitely must be Hong Kong.

[illliterate02]

Hong Kong is the most beautiful that i have ever been too. But I like Tokyo the best. Singapore is really nice as well.

1st: There's no beating Hong Kong

There are loads of skylines which I love ie: Sydney, Panama city, Dubai, Shanghai, etc...

[peaceloveunderstanding]

I like Sydney the best.

[RokulRobTheWrecker]

I vote for Hong Kong too. It's especially beautiful at night.

[tombarnes]

Hong Kong....There's nothing quite like the Victoria skyine at night when viewed from Kowloon. The Peninsula offers an excellent vantage point. Taking the Star Ferry is also an exciting way to experience both skylines.

I'll go with Sydney
