Get in, pal, we’re going to Hong Kong!

[p]Take a road trip with us as we cruise along the Golden Mile, arriving at our destination, Hong Kong. Our Harbor Lights & Neon Nights Update explores the famous fragrant harbor of this iconic port city, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and colorful neon streets. [/p][p]From the harbor glow to the electric lotus sky, Hong Kong offers a gorgeous new landscape for you to design your dream city. Surrounded by water dotted with the famous Star Ferries, you’ll have to navigate the flow of Hong Kong’s residents as they go about their daily lives.[/p][p]Don’t miss out on exploring this new city with our recently released Creative Mode! With ultimate creativity unlocked, this mode allows you to design the bustling streets of our brand-new Hong Kong map just the way you like it. [/p][p]This update to Mini Motorways includes:[/p]
  • [p]A brand new map: Hong Kong![/p]
  • [p]Ferry terminals! Hong Kong introduces boats to the waterways of the Fragrant Harbour. Operating in a similar way to train stations and trains,  it’s your job to ensure these new floating obstacles don’t interrupt your traffic! Ferry terminals are new building types that will require careful planning and attention as you navigate ways across the water for your commuters.[/p]

[p]As we were gearing up to celebrate the beauty of Hong Kong upon the release of this update, we were saddened to hear of the tragic high-rise fire in the Tai Po district. As such, we are pairing this update with a donation to the Tai Po Fire Emergency Appeal run by the Hong Kong Red Cross. To those who have lost a loved one, been displaced from their homes, or are otherwise impacted by this devastating incident, our hearts go out to you. Kia kaha from New Zealand.[/p]
