Cities with breathtaking geographic features? Discussion

Post image

I’ve only been around the United States, Canada, Mexico, and a few European countries, so my experiences are pretty limited, and maybe I’m a little bias, but seeing Mt. Rainier on a clear day in the backdrop of the Seattle skyline takes my breath away every time.

I know there’s so many beautiful cities around the world (I don’t wanna sound like a typical American who thinks the world is just the states lol).

Interested to hear of some examples of picturesque features from across the world.

Nothing like that pic, but Hong Kong. I loved the juxtaposition of the ocean, mountains and the urban centre. The natural views on its hiking trails were pretty damn amazing.
