I don't like to make a journal too long -- thus this time it follows what I have done for Betono, 2 different zones for each entry, and aims to control the number of pictures below 8. This time, let's start with the north-west side of the city.

One long image would sum up the entry for today.

Cyrus Docks

There are two main parts of the Docks: the New and the Old. The old docks has been used for a long time and it is no longer act as a major port, the construction of the new dock is hoped to bring new life into the docks area.

The new dock is also the new Cyrus Cruise Terminal. The project includes a series of shopping area, as well as leisure and entertainment. It is now the hottest area for tourists and locals.

At the end of the complex here is the historic Poseidon Market. In the past goods from different area, included the fresh catch from the sea, were sold here. Today the market still function like this, in addition the famous Night Market of Poseidon is a must-see attraction for tourist.

Northshore

Next to the docks is Northshore. It has been a local industrial area for decades, and after the plan of the high-tech incinerator and other eco-friendly industry Northshore is now known as the 'eco-tech zone' of Cyrus Harbour.

The Marine Avenue connects to the highway towards west and the city.

I am thinking about the next journal, would it be the City centre or should I introduce the nearby residential area first? Tell me want you think.

Huston, LemonLime, TowerDude: Thanks a lot!

kagamiya, Tekindus, tankmank, zahrul3: Thank you! Yeah the details are coming, as I would like to make it part by part :D

Ace, Alex_1210: Absolutely agree. The city is very small and 'condensed' as I tried to put quite a number of different element into this hilly and complex terrain…

NielsC007: Thanks, I use Adobe Photoshop CS5 for the editing work.

No worries! That long, large building is torremayor's Opera Bastille, available here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1159

 

As for the one behind that, it is the Canadian Broadcasting Centre, which is available here: http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/20325-canadian-broadcasting-centre/

I liked it, although, only suggestion would be, add curves instead of making the rhw to sharp... other than that, I really loved the effect of every pic

Gorgeous city, I really like the mix of old harbor buildings with newer construction with the Waterfront Market and skyscraper.
