As you wish, The list is arranged according to the following criteria:
1. My Personal Opinion LOL
2. The Number of Skyscrapers
3. The Number of Super tall skyscrapers (Over 300m+)
4. Facade Design (The appearance of different skyscrapers would be examined. Futuristic? Unappealing? or Classical? How could the city reflect the level of humanity of the culture in that region?)
5. The distribution of the skyscrapers (Scattered? Centralised?)
6. Natural Settings (Mountain?Sea?Lake?River?We will examine the balance between the human structures and the mother nature )
7. The global importance of that city
(Recognizable? Economic power? Political Power? Famous City?)
8. The Country and the Continent that the city representing for
(Each of the continents would have 1 city included in the video, at least, except Africa.....Sorry for that...... My bad)
9. Sufficient sources of High Quality Drone, Aerial, Time Lapse or HyperLapse videos (Because I personally do not know how to fly a drone..... I would learn it later xd. Thanks for the source providers)
10. Comments in other youtube videos
(Yeah, I do watch other videos with the similar topic..... and I learn a lot from the comment section there xd........Arguing...Blaming....So I have tried hard to sum up different ideas and put into this video. LOLOL)

*******NOTE THAT:For some, this list may not be in accordance with their own opinion of the 10 best skylines. Because of both big differences between cities and an absence of general criteria that a good skyline has to meet, the determination whether a skyline belongs to the best 10 in the world or not, differs from person to person and is therefore subjective. Please keep in mind that this is my personal list.********
