For me, it's Niihama (New Port City) from "Ghost in the Shell" (1995).

"Oshii based the setting for Ghost in the Shell on Hong Kong. . . . The film's mecha designer Takeuchi Atsushi noted that while the film does not have a chosen setting, it is obviously based on Hong Kong because the city represented the theme of the film, the old and the new which exist in a strange relationship in an age of an information deluge. Before shooting the film, the artists drew sketches that emphasized Hong Kong's chaotic, confusing and overwhelming aspects."

I'd respond with mine but jannies banned my main posting source. Fucking janny niggers

Primarily, I like settings like in OP.. from time to time I just love fields of grass and dream-like settings.

I lived in Taipei for years, big asian cities are a special kind of comfy.
Sebastian Smith
What's it like? I've seen a few films set in Hong Kong ("Infernal Affairs" is probably my favourite), but would appreciate any recommendations.
Carter White
It's shit. I don't recommend anything.
Michael Martinez
Damn. I missed an opportunity to spend a year abroad there while at university. I guess it wasn't much of a loss.
Bentley Thompson
Big agree. Tokyo in "Lost in Translation" is a close second for me.
Robert Gutierrez
Hong Kong is such kino setting
David Cox
Are there any films specifically set in the Walled City?
Caleb Nguyen
I would also add Singapore to the list of kino settings, with a special touch of futurism
pic related is my weekly running routine
Wyatt Kelly
Westworld season 3 was filmed there, to portrait Los Angeles in 2050
Brandon Perry
I like movies set in LA. Never gets old.

If anime is allowed Kindaichi had made the Kowloon mystery several times. It's about someone hid a nuke in the place to demand independence
Ayden Reyes
I saw a MMA movie set in macao. Ok movie. Never really looked into macao though. HK took everything from me.
Colton Ortiz
There was an episode in GITS 2G set in Taipei. Oshii went to taiwan some times ago. But we don't know how he or anyone felt about the place.
Ethan Green
Hong Kong is kino as fuck. The only problem is when you're walking around there's always something dripping on you.
Ethan Evans
Same. It's such an amazing setting.
Xavier Myers
Why do American cities not build those massive apartment/condo complexes?
Oliver Perez
the imaginary macau casino
Nathan Ortiz
my favourite version is from Pirates of the Carribean which was a Chinese filled port city with mountains
Oliver Ortiz
more land, large percentage of automobile ownership
if it's gonna be a condo or apartment it will probably be 4-7 story
Gabriel Rivera
all the settings in Pirates are just so well done
