Hi folks and welcome to a new entry for the Bright City. After entering Maya Bay through Conal Valley shown in the previous chapter, today we're going to explore the westernmost district facing the bay.

FEEDBACK CORNER

LivingInThePast I gotta know--how much of this is Photoshopped, and how much is mods and filters? This looks better than all the other C:S stuff I've seen so far, but are the shadows and the general overcast type appearance in-game or not?
No Photoshop at all, it's 100% the game engine, heavily modded. Most of the job is done by the Moving Sun mod that is a must have to do great shots, together with a good filter (i use Photoreal3 to be precise), and I'm also using the Ambient Occlusion and the Sun Shafts mod accompained with Dynamic Resolution, tuned to 150% to take the pics you see.
Ln X Amazing pictures; so many of them look very realistic!
boformer Especially the last shot. Nicely done!
Thanks guys, I'm glad you appreciate

MIRAMAR

One of the most well known attractions of Maya Bay surely are its beaches, and Miramar is by far the largest and the most popular among residents and tourists. All the more exclusive hotels are here, together with some very expensive apartments towers.

The Bayfront Promenade definitely is one of the major attractions: it's several kilometers long and allows to enjoy a spectacular view of the bay.

In the comprehensive shot below you can see where the neighborhood is located, just southwest of Conal Valley and of the great highway junction that leads the traffic inbound and outbound Maya Bay.

Tourists here are spoiled for choice of hotels and not only, because the district is well connected through a metro line to the city center making at hand lots of facilities dedicated to recreational activities and nightlife.

In Miramar there is also a large shopping center with restaurants of all kinds, a cinema and shops of all the most prestigious brands. But in the neighborhood there are also things that are decidedly less frivolous, as what you can see on the left in the background of the image above which it is the largest hospital in the entire city, located here mainly to be quickly accessible from both the city airports.
