You must be up on some high ground, shooting almost straight down.

Hong Kong Victoria Harbor at Night, 2019
Composite of 2 bracketed shots. ISO = 100 for both shots; 1st shot 30 sec & f/5.8; 2nd shot 15 sec & f/22

Composite of 2 bracketed shots. ISO = 100 for both shots; 1st shot 20 sec & f/5.8; 2nd shot 25 sec & f/16

As you can see, I was trying to experiment different exposures to determine what is best. Conclusion: Not sure!
Next time (if there was a next time, we are talking about HK), I'd try 3 or 5 shot bracketing, 1f stop apart. I did that nicely in PuDong, Shanghai.
Obviously tripod was used.

This was shot on the stair case that leads down from the car park. We were about half way down the winding stairs for this shot...pointing down, about 45. Taken at 24mm on Canon R3 with 1000-ND filter for the long exposure.

Nice, I visited in 2015 and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in that area. Decided to go check out the NYE fireworks and sat down right by the water in front of the Marina Bay Sands. Got there early enough that there were only a few people there. Waited through some rain before it started getting packed with people. Got this photo using the ground as a tripod.
