Open replies: @It-it: Thank you but my collection isn't only japaneese. Update 15: Heyho and welcome to the 15th update of my MD Dragon Island Cities. Today I will show you some nightpics I've collected during the last week. But first I've got some screenshots of a new L train station next to the west end of the dragoneye. That's the point where two "underground" lines meet each other.... 1 2 Now to the nightpics. You may know this area from the last update, a member of the german simforum asked for a...

@monay: they are a collection from a lot of sites, especially asian ones. Update 14 I finally had enough time to write the 14th update. The first pic of the update does not fit with the others, I just took it because I liked the scene.... (The only thing I can say about it is that it shows one of the actual ending stations of the line U1^^) The core of today's update are my first tries to use a nice "flora" prop set that I've found on simpeg. I'm shure that it's not the best that cn be done with it but a...

Heyho and welcome to the 13th part of my MD. Today I'm in favor to make something unusal for my MD: Today's pictures are following a line of the Lòng Chèng rapid transit network. The rapid transit line starts at the core of the city and leads to the southern suburbs. It leads from Ch?zhàn m?tóu to Zài qiúch?ng shàngc?n and has only five stations between them The names of the stations are on the pictures but the chineese is not really perfect and has some misstakes The rolling stock is as usual for Lòng...

Let's head to D

By Skimbo,

Hello, I'm back again with update 9 Today I will show you some pictures from some small villages next to my 2nd planned bigger city. If you headd north from Lóng dàqiáo you will soon reach the village Long zhi chun. Most of the landscape around this village is mountainious or water so there is only a little space to build on. The crew of this freight liner wasn't happy about the thing that has happened to them. Luckily nothing of their freight ran out into the water. Long zhi chun at night. That's one end...

Welcome to the 7th entry of this journal. Today I will show you some parts of the countryside at the district of the little and not finished city Lóng dàqiáo. The ferry port isn't finished yet so there will not be a pic of it in this update. The first road you have to use after you arrived with one of the ferrys is the coast road B20: You can see some holiday homes from the people of Lónghú along the road.... After a while the road leaves the coastline to cut of f one of the spines of the dragon island....

And the city finally has had enough cash to finance an very...
