What skyline is this?

[KungFuPanda]

The Hive knows everything! My mother got this scarf for my son. She bought it online and didn’t even notice it had a skyline. DH guessed Toronto, but I’m not quite sure. Does anyone know? 
 

I didn’t know what order was correct so I photographed it two ways.

Shanghai?

That was my guess.

Berlin?

I'm seeing the television tower and the domed roof of the Berlin cathedral

So our guesses are now Toronto, Shanghai, or Berlin? 🤣 I have no idea where my mom found this.

I saw it and immediately thought Shanghai. Beyond the TV tower basic shape, it doesn't seem to match the images of Berlin and Toronto I just looked at.

Auckland?

[Soror]

My guess was Shanghai too.

Shanghai the only one with a tower on one side and a tall narrow skyscraper on the other. I give another vote for Shanghai.

I don't know what skyline it is, but I don't think it is any of the ones posted yet.

Behind the circle skyscraper on the left (using top photo) is another, shorter one that seems to have a round top with a "sky spike" thingy and on the right side to the inside (left) of the next tallest skyscraper, there is a building with an inverted "v" top and another spike thing, then to the inside of that it looks like another rectangular building has two tall, wider spike things like arms sticking up in the air.

In front (if you're looking from the Bund/across the river) of the tall TV tower, there IS another, shorter, round topped building in Shanghai. And the shape of the Pearl TV tower in Shanghai is unique because it also has a round part that's lower down - which is exactly what you see on the building in the skyline on the scarf. I'm not totally sure which pointy and spiked buildings are shown there... one of the problems with the Shanghai skyline is that it keeps changing. But if you look at different views, you'll see other ones. I'm really nearly positive this is Shanghai.

I am swayed by Farrar's confidence. 😄 I'm declaring it Shanghai.  Nothing seems to perfectly match the scarf, but you can look at that skyline from any angle and it'll be different.  Also, the knit designer might have taken some creative liberties. I certainly think it's a better fit than Dh's Toronto theory, because a Toronto skyline would have that arched thing to the left of the bulby, pointy thing.

Aren’t you now dying to know what unique gift shop she found it in? Because I am 🙂

Can your mother call up her receipt or the website? Perhaps the information is available at the site.

🤣 🤣 You mean the SkyDome (not it's name anymore, I don't think) to the left of the CN Tower 😂  

 

Definitely not Toronto.

Guys, the intelligence community pays people good money to figure out stuff like this.  You could apply as a pod.
