Today we get into the city (finally!). And I am introducing two area: Vermillion and Glendlloyd, and I am presenting in a zoomed angle for higher details.

As usually we start with an overview. At the left is Glendlloyd, and Vermillion at the right.

Vermillion

Vermillion, aka 'Red Area', is the western end of the Outer Bay Bridge. The name Red Area comes from the fact that there is a group of red-coloured buildings. Geographically it links to the Outer Bay Bridge to the east, close to the Port district to the north, near the city centre at southwest, and facing Inner Bay to the south. Although not the highest tier in terms of classes, Vermillion is known for its mid-price guesthouses and hotels, as well as places like shopping centre and department store.

Vermillion Pier is one stop of the Cyrus Harbour Water Transport System. Passengers can take the ferry across the bay or get to other places of West Cyrus. Next to the Pier is Vermillion Shoreline Park.

We have got different styles of buildings from different ages in the city. Such as the Entrance Garden, to the left there is a classic building from the previous century, on top there are functional, modernist office building, and on the left top is the contemporary department store. In Cyrus Harbour some would like to ride with the tram, travel through the city centre and appreciate different surroundings and architectural styles.

Glendlloyd

Glendlloyd is the traditional commercial area of Cyrus Harbour, this L-shaped land is filled with different offices, malls and restaurants. High-rises are common and business is a great deal there.

Upper class retails, classy restaurant and bar as well as service apartment and hotel can be found along Commercial Avenue.

The area around Market Street is predestrianized and surrounded by tall buildings. In the leisure time people would come to spend time, shopping and window shopping, or visit the cinema for the latest blockbuster.

At night the red and white lights brighten up the city. Billboards and signs make the city looks as busy as daytime.

Nice - but that's why I don't use the Birmingham Rotunda re-lot ... it's got that weird, half a red-brick buidling that sticks out of the front of it which you can see in the "Stores and Seaview Apartments" picture :\ That's my only niggle.

Everything very nice! (Except that double 45º sharp turns on your highways, but shhh, I won't tell...)

 

I specially liked the bridge, very creative layout!
