Chongqing already has quite a nice skyline that is larger than almost every US skyline save NY and Chicago.

Im not sure why the person above is jealous of what skyline renderings developers chose to show. I could be they chose manhattan because it is the most recognizable skyline (and surely Chongqing is definitely heading in that direction); or it could be that they wanted a prestigious skyline to front the building into.

It doesn't really matter though and nothing to get jealous about. Chongqing is an amazing city and is destined to be the 2nd "Shanghai" for China the way Chicago is the 2nd "New York" for America; Western version of the top city of the nation. ...

Myself personally, I prefer Chongqing instead of Shanghai due to the way they preserve the historic and tradition (building skyscrapers AROUND sites); just like I prefer Chicago instead of NY.

This and the hundreds of other skyscrapers in Chongqing will propel the city forward like no other we've seen.
