What's The City

[Florin]

Looks a bit like the new casino area of Macau

Looks a bit like the new casino area of Macau

maybe it does, but alas, the game is to guess where it is - not where it looks a bit like!

but Macau is not a million miles away!

[Florin]

My second guess would be Guangzhou...in any case, am I correct in assuming it's a Chinese territory?

[jezchesters]

Brighton it is! Your go...

?England, Oz?

Jerusalem?

Brighton, England (The Royal Pavilion)

[jezchesters]

Hong Kong?

[Neeranam]

Bombay, or Mumbai.

yes you are!

[lamphun]

Nanking

[mittheimp]

Nanking

not nanking.

This is a very big city!

[Florin]

I would've thought that Shanghai would be too obvious a pick, but...is it the one? Can't imagine any other coastal Chinese city with such huge skyscrapers and high urban development.

Don`t think so... I think it`s just built around a sewer...

Yes I am...because I am RIGHT!

"""Chongqing is a city of some 13 million and was designated a municipality, bringing it under the direct control of Beijing in 1997."""

But: moreover: I found the picture...............

It is Chongqing City!

LaoPo

[kayo]

well done lao pers... Now go over to the place and tell me if I`m right... I`m not sure I am...

[LaoPo]

OK, guys, assuming I was right, here's the pic:

Which/where city is this?

LaoPo

[kayo]

is it in LOS?

no it`s not is it?

the thing in the middle looks a little like some thai royal emblem, but I can`t make it out too well.. .

the people don`t look thai though.

there`s some flags in the middle towards the bottom but I can`t see htem well either...

I wish I had an image enhancer

You're right.....it's not LOS.

No, not sub- or tropical either. The country doesn't even have beaches

But...............the country and area produces 'soft gold'.....

[jezchesters]

Is it Tashkent? Had a very dodgy stopover there once and it smells a bit like it...

[LaoPo]

No, sorry, not Tashkent. But it can be freezy too.

LaoPo

[jezchesters]

Is it in Asia?

[LaoPo]

Is it in Asia?

It's considered to be part of Asia, yes.

Also because the people don't look 'western'.

LaoPo

[jezchesters]

Is it Ulaanbaatar? (Mongolia?)

[LaoPo]

Is it Ulaanbaatar? (Mongolia?)

Very good Jez! My compliments.

LaoPo

Well done LaoPo! Considering the size of Chongquing - it is not a very well known city!

Thanks!

Your comment that it was Chinese territory AS WELL as a very big city lead to my conclusion that it HAD TO BE Chongqing and yes it is an immense city unknown by most Western people.

Also, it could not be one of the other cities in China (skyscrapers and such) on a river.

[jezchesters]

OK - how about this one?

[LaoPo]

OK - how about this one?

Casablanca - Morocco?

[jezchesters]

Nope...
