Probably depends on where you are there, position of the sun etc - with all those tall buildings - my grandparents have been to hong kong, I admittedly have not - and it was a bit of an intentional exaggeration on my part in that with so many skyscrapers they probably never see the sun - im sure they do but a large amt of it is obstructed.

The point I was trying to make is if you have too many big buildings there will be some places eternally cast in shadow - you see it in some areas of toronto, the canyon areas - they tend to be cold with wind tunnel effects too - not a fan.
