Hi everyone. Here I present to you the 3rd part of the city area. We have quite a lot of information today, most of them are mosaics, and I hope you enjoy this journey :)

The overview, I wished to try some rainy screen but I forget to turn of the shadow in game so this is the only rainy image of the city…

We are going to explore the east side of the city. The east harbour is a bit younger than the western area, and there are many redevelopment projects happening in recent years, therefore east harbour has sort of young atmosphere which is different to the west harbour.

Guratap

Guratap is one of the three suburbs of Cyrus Harbour, although it is further to the ocean but the coast is still pretty attractive -- and the houses are not cheap to many.

Guratap is built at the foot of Guratap Hill, and it has several iconic park and biking trail. These open area define Guratap itself and without the parks, it is not Guratap.

Ocean Avenue connects Guratap and East Cyrus, which is also the route for tram entering east harbour.

East Cyrus

East Cyrus is active in development -- great geographical location, nice and iconic view of the harbour and smooth infrastructure are the main factors for businessmen to choose here. Shopping malls, exclusive and designer hotels, and museums are opening for business.

The coast facing Hank still have some small houses, which creates an interesting contrast to the tall buildings at the back.

The east end of East Cyrus is the Friendhab Interchange. It is also the terminal station for the tram system. At the bottom here is Guratap Hill, which means Guratap suburb is just at the other side of the hill.

Southeast passage runs through East Cyrus, and it is the major artery of the transportation system of Cyrus Harbour. There are coastal parks at both side of the strip, which are great spots for lunch break and fresh air.

Another mean for coastal park is, obviously, bringing up the land value.

Outer Bay Bridge is truly the icon of Cyrus Harbour. The bridge is the border line for outer bay and inner bay, the unique shape and the buildings at both side are the famous shots on postcard.

Is that a GLR to elevated heavy rail to cross the highway?

 

No that's moonlight's alternate El Rail textures, available as an add-on to the NAM

Hi, where did you get the left hand traffic sign set?

I don't actually have any left-hand signs, the trick here is to use a GTR sign (available on STEX) for RHW 10-lane on a two-tiles road (avenue, highway etc.), since this sign fly across two tiles and the boards align from the left it looks reasonable for left hand traffic. It is somehow frustrating as I struggle to find some high quality signs for LHD :(
