Some Beutiful Skylines in The World

1) Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is number one on my list for many reasons: Hong Kong has a whopping 43 buildings over 200 metres tall, 30 of which were built in the year 2000 or later!!! It also boasts four of the 15 tallest buildings in the world… that's all in one city! Hong Kong’s skyline shows a large selection of distinct sky-reaching towers, with beautiful night lighting and reflection. This city exemplifies the post-modern skyscraper and skyline. Finally, the mountain backdrop makes this skyline the greatest on the planet!Metro/Urban Population: 6.9 million

2) Chicago, USA
Chicago is the birthplace of the modern skyscraper. When Chicago built its first steel high-rise in 1885, it was not the tallest structure in the world but the first example of a new form of engineering that would change nearly every city on earth. Chicago has 19 buildings over 200 metres tall (three of which are among the top 20 tallest buildings in the world, including the tallest in North America). Chicago has some of the finest mid-century architecture and examples of modern skyscrapers.Metro/Urban Population: 8.7 million

3) New York, USA
New York City has one of the densest and most diverse skylines, with a huge collection of buildings and building styles. Thanks to artist's and Hollywood’s obsession with the city, it is also the most easily recognizable skyline in the world. New York City has an amazing collection of 47 buildings that stand over 200 metres - the most in the world! The four tallest buildings in NYC were all built in the early 1930s! Home of the famous, now destroyed World Trade Center Towers, the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations, New York City is the financial capital of the western world. New York's skyline is probably the most compact and overwhelming collection of architecture from almost any point in the city.Metro/Urban Population: 21.0 million

4) Shanghai, China
Not to be mistaken for a space station, Shanghai is a real city! China's biggest and most advanced city, Shanghai was said to be the most modern cities at the turn of the 20th century, but lost its glory. It is now quickly regaining its position as one of the biggest economic powerhouses in the world as well as a showcase of modern architecture and a sky reaching array of buildings, that deck the edges of the semi-circular shoreline. In Shanghai you’ll find 28 structures that are over 200 metres tall and two over 400 metres including one that is insanely tall (468m), the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.Metro/Urban Population: 13.1 million

5) Singapore, Singapore
One of the best (urban) planned and cleanliest metropolitan cities in the world, Singapore looks like an architectural model city come to life. The buildings cannot be higher than 280 metres due to air traffic control restrictions, but that has added a tall (but not too tall) and consistent building height and space pattern that makes this skyline unique: Three buildings are exactly 280 metres tall and 5 others (8 total) stand at just over 200 metres. The buildings are mostly light-coloured and there is a large expanse of greenery dotted around the city core. This South-Eastern city is definitely in a league of its own.Metro/Urban Population: 3.8 million
