I haven't seen all the skylines in the world but I would venture to say that that one is in the top 10, maybe even top 5.

I've seen many many skylines (in real life and in pictures) and I dare to say that you would be hard-pressed to wow me as much as HK's did, with anything else... so why don't you try?

HK def top 5. I would include Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai Bund, New York (pre-911) and SanFran in there. Vancouver not too shabby either.

Being a Hong Konger myself, I would say HK is definitely one of the top 3.

Went to HK several years ago, gotta be the #1 skyline in my book. The lights actually "glow" at night and the on a nice clear day, shines in the water like a mirror. And it's so long from left to right when you're standing on the pier.

Those are awesome pictures! Chicago ranks up there among the top, also. And Minneapolis.
