What a difference 20 years makes

This picture was taken in 1990 ( a mere 20 years ago) of a city that now looks nothing like this. Today the same city is totally modern and this same view is crammed with modern skyscrapers.

Do you know what city this is?

    Following the clues:
    1) Looks like London: British colony.
    2) Singapore is warmer answer
    3) Picture shows it's by the water
    4) Changed a lot in 20 years

    Could it be Hong Kong?

  12. Royce, I thought for sure you were going to name every Chinese metropolitan city. Shanghai it is.
