The classic and historic buildings of cities like London, Paris, and even New York, are what set these cities apart from the new skyscraper cities going up in China and the Middle East. Thanks for the trip.

It a shame most modern buildings lack the craftmenship and detail that these Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian beauties have!

I think you need to visit those cities in China, they are surprising - not all Shenzhen or Hong Kong. What I was amazed about was how blanketly modern alot of Beijing was outside the inner city and adversely how historic Shanghai was, with street after street of old ornate brick buildings. The older traditional megacities like Tianjin, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xian (I could go on) have alot of old buildings too, Nanjing for one has over a hundred major historic sites to visit.
