You get real, bud. You live in the 70's. You wanna talk skyscrapers? You think the world stands still as you have? Hong Kong's skycrapers officially outnumber NYC's. The tallest skycraper in the world is in Dubai. The second in Taipei. And then there's Shanghai. Where's NYC? Oh yes, left in the dust.

Hong Kong has always been an amazing city to me! With the mountains in the background and such compact buildings all squashed to fit in between the mountains and the harbor. Except the only thing i hate is them ugly apartment buildings that look the same..

Hong kong reminds me of bruce lee and the movie enter the dragon.

Hong Kong, Shanghai, any asian city and any city in the world - for that matter - is no match for New York. Asian skyscrapers look so cheesy, boring and simply CHEAP. When it comes to architecture of highrises New York as of now has no competition.

And whats just as important as the facts i mentioned above? - check New York City's grid and density of buildings. It's stunning and nothing comes even close to big apple. There are just miles and miles of densely, continuosly built up streeets.

Phillips!! That's where they came up the idea of my tv :D!

@walkertexasranger33 Your point is NY's way more $ than HK? Don't make me laugh. Yes, NY still makes more than HK today. But the margin is narrow and narrowing. HK is now the 3rd largest financial capital in the world. Just 2 places behind the big apple. The important is the future. NY is backed by USA, HK is backed by China. Who's going up and who's coming down. No prize for guessing right.

@MrSunnyChen well time square and everyone on street level is new and vibrant.

@trent8002003 lmao so ignorant. sky scrapers dont mean much if one city is making way more money then another.

@CHUUMPASS.

NYC is on top, but the only realistic rival NYC has is probably HK and Chicago.

[CHUUMPASS]

NYC is rather historic than old, plus that's exactly what makes NY so special its art deco themed buildings paired with the modern steel and glas structures, you should check out the future developments for NY such as Girasole, World Product Center,Tower Verre, Hudson Place Towers, Manhattan West Towers, ect. all stunning new architecture to transform and forge NY's skyline once again. plus NY is the epitomy of metropolis like no other city regardless of skyscraper numbers my friend. ;)
