Hi guys,
I am a big history fan but also enthusiastic on mega cities and urban planning. Here is my exclusive collection on some of Chinese cities. No Hongkong photos, only mainland cities. Enjoy!
Note: The copyright of each photo below belongs to their original photographer who is hard to be identified at the moment.

Alright, let's start from the Capital--Beijing.
Beijing: Due to the Capital Height Restriction, Beijing is a "short" city in China, but it gets one of the best designed buildings throughout the country. Beijing, with its wide avenues, represents grandeur and dominance.

Awesome Any more?

Go on with Beijing:







Phew~~ So much Beijing, since I was from there LOL. OK let's move to Chongqing and take a look at the Manhattan-like Mountain city in the innerland.
Chongqing:

Nice shots. Are those all by you?

No, go on with Chongqing:




Shenzhen, a 26 year old city which is slightly younger than me. The fastest growing city in world history.
Shenzhen:

26 years ago. It was a small fishing village.

Today

What's the major avenue that showing up in the last photo. I remembered seeing that somewhere else.

Go on with Shenzhen, Hong Kong's new sister. IT IS NOT HONGKONG!




Now back to Shanghai, the fastest growing city in the world along with Dubai and the potential competitor to Tokyo, London and New York.
Shanghai:

I'm the only one interested!
J/K.

Thanks Amyas! Go on with Shanghai.

And more under construction...


Bonus: A preview of super-talls that China is constructing, compared to world famous towers.



If anyone likes those, more cities are coming including Guangzhou, Dalian, Qingdao, Tianjin, or even cities like Shijiazhuang and Urumqi that you probably never heard of.

Thanks for viewing.
