Not just speaking about skylines, but about urbanism, the inland Chinese cities are these huge unknowns that are rapidly being closed off behind a second iron curtain for us.
A city like Chongqing looks incredibly intriguing: it has a Manhattan's worth of skyscrapers plunked down on a Pittsburgh-esque landscape.
But China is becoming more of a hassle to visit, and I'm not getting any younger, so I will probably never see it in the flesh. For us Westerners, China is reverting back to a fantastical place in our imaginations, something Marco Polo-ish, rather than a "real place".
