Hello and welcome to the fourth part of this journal.

Today I will show you some Night pics of the downtown of Shì de lónghú.

This place is located in the heart of the city, one end of the "flame boulevard"

This one is still in a very central position next to central station:

This part of the city is located next to the central scool:

People build on every single squaremeter of the city that isn't a park:

This is the Waterdragon plaza located on the coast boulevard:

^^(I found this nice statue at Simcity.cn)^^

This is the intersection between Star Boulevard and the Central Station Boulevard. The avenue to the left is the coast Boulevard.

This place is called Lakeside district, it's located to the southeast of central station and to the south of the central scool:

Have a closer look to the buildings next to the water:

And last I've got a night pic of the city center (Except "new Downtown")

You can see Lakeside at the top right corner, the old downtown on the bottom of the pic and the central scool in the center.

I hope you've enjoied this update.

I want to say thanks to the Hongkong bat team, without their wounderful bats this cind of downtown would not be possible.

That downtown looks great. Very diverse height of buildings. Youve managed to make a metropolis downtown without makeing ever-single-building mega tall. Looks great!

Sorry to nitpick but boulevards wind around topographical features (hills, bases of mountains, lakes, shores, ets). Other than that, very cool!

@techman64: I normally build only some of the bigger roads for orientation but the rest of the traffic ways comes with the buildings....
