Any Suggestions for Seoul? I'll be going there for the first time in September.
Another suggestion for HK during the day, is the Dragon's Back Trail Sorry couldn't find a better link for it. With it you can get a view of both sides of HK island. .

Yes they were taken from the observation deck. The shots were handheld bc I don't believe they allow tripods up there. Those nighttime shots were taken with a Sony Nex 5N using the hand-held nighttime setting. The daytime photos were also shot with the Sony.

I found a nice place to get the Austin skyline. Take Riverside Drive and pull off into one of the parking areas west of the event center. Walk a couple hundred feet across the street to the river and find a spot without trees in your way.
It can be a bit muddy and a flashlight will be helpful.

Two of my favorites in Boston:
1. The Harbor Islands, as mentioned earlier. This is good for views of the financial district skyline.
2. The corner of Mass Ave & Memorial Dr. in Cambridge. There's a park that runs along the Charles that you can get great shots of the Back Bay skyline, especially at night. On a clear day, you can see as far west as the Citgo sign & the lights of Fenway park if they're on.
San Diego: Centennial Park in Coronado gives you views from the U.S.S. Midway to the Hilton past the convention center.
Seattle: West Seattle, along Aliki Dr., gives a view from the Space Needle to the downtown area with Eliot Bay in the foreground. Go far enough north on Aliki and there are several parks you can take shots from.
