eggrolls are part of Chinese cuisine - this area is based on Japanese and Korean assets so it doesn't make sense for it to be named that - it's sweeping three very different cultures into one thing.
Since this is Orchid Bay, and Orchids being pretty woven in Chinese culture, you could call it ''Lanhua District'' (Orchid/Orchid flower district in Chinese)
the traditional characters蘭花區/蘭區 Orchid District or 蘭花園/蘭園 Orchid Gardens can be read in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, as Hanzi, Hanja and Kanji. The first syllable/ character being Lan, Nan and Ran respectively (actually these sound much closer than the romanisation would suggest). Lore wise you can say that the area was named for some flower farms that used to be in the area, orchid nurseries were a small part of the flower trade but the name 蘭園-Orchid Gardens came to be used by asian residents in the area and that its the name that stuck. Head canon wise the signage is in traditional Chinese characters that everybody just mentally hears it in whatever language they speak. Its just called Orchid Gardens by the city council and on official documents but even non asians are calling the area Nan Gardens, with the N sounding more like an R or L depending on who your friends are.
That corridor of square fountains at the temple entrance is a really great use of that prop. Makes the entrance feel very grand, like you're entering a special place. Never would've thought to use them in such a way but it looks great.
Was waiting for someone to make a vanilla "Asia-town" with the Korea CCP! Love the detailing. Maybe you could add the yoga garden outside the temple if you remove the tram turnaround? (if it fits) Tamago Town? Or Big Towers with Shopping aka the BTS district? 😂😂
Again a lovely episode ! I say it everytime I love the attention to details, the way you don't overbuild, the way you choose what building to keep, the transit system... Thank you again and have a great day
Another beautiful build, my only issue is I thought the jacaranda trees in front of the temple were too tall and hid the temple and when you added the fountains then you really couldn’t see the temple at all, I preferred when you left the entrance more open with the bushes and maybe with a smaller tree. Also needed another tram stop on the other side of the road heading back into town.
I've had the same problem with those Korean buildings on a normal road too. There's a nice 2x2 tall commercial asset in the Hearts of Korea pack that's perfect for a corner. I also love some of the smaller ones that look like a 5 or 6 storey Daiso. But they can be pretty samey if all of the zoning is the same size. Oh, and that grass thing always happens. It's so annoying.
Love the use of Asian assets here! This really is shaping up to be a striking and exciting waterfront. It's going to look incredible once the other side is built up too. Stunning work as always!
Whenever I think of Chinatown, I think of outdoor pedestiran markets which... is not really something in the game at the moment. Only asset I can think of that kind of replicates the idea is the fish market from sunset harbor. But anyway it looks great! The Hearts of Korea assets are gorgeous
If you were to leave a dislike then you have no business watch a city skylines build. As this guy is the king of city building. Another amazing build my man. Keep it up.
Just last night I made a modular Chinatown build on the same map, freaky. Nice video as always, cool to see the city expanding into higher density now.
LOVED this build! The Hearts of Korea assets are just adorable, I really love how they work so well in urban settings. Loved how you out this all together!!! Thank you Egg! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've followed your build from the start but this one was out there! for the first time i kinda stopped watching when you did your detailing and went crazy myself and was so much fun detailing with all the Korean and Japanese content, trees and buildings keep it up m8 really good build guide ive followed a few and enjoyed and learnt most from yours =)
Superb build as always egg! Such a delight to see the mixed use of everything together and the height of the towers/assets is just perfection! Maybe you could name it after famous Japanese districts like Harajuku or Shinjuku by fusing it with Orchid Bay? OrchidJuku? It may be inaccurate since the area is a bit more dominant with the HoK pack. I really like the fountains lining the sides of the temple entrance! I think you could imagine Koi fish swimming in there :)
Something new by OE, that's almost impossible, as he has covered so much, but no, there are always surprised. Well done with the Asian town! Looking forward to the intergration of the next content creator packs, and really buzzing for C:S 2!
Another brilliant build Egg! Haven’t used HoK yet as didn’t think you could make it look as good as you did. What about a small fishing harbour inlet and some of the green cities commercial (1x2, 1x3) markets between the road and the quays?
this is just a builders guide in title but really a master piece of design. Your flow through this city is great. I dream of doing this. I began using mods and still don't make cities this well. I am stuck in just building cities like I did in Sim City, where you just build big and fill in quickly.
I'm always excited when I see you posted a new vid and you didn't dissapoint this time either. Loved the build! The high density commercial is quite repetetive though. Maybe try some different size plots to counteract this?
Great build again! I'm not sure if any city council would line the streets with bamboo. It is after all a very fast growing weed. But this is a game, you play it well and it all looks great.
Lots of great vanilla spice in this build. The Content Creator Packs have infused so much more creativity into vanilla builds. I'm jonesing to sit in that plaza next to the restaurant and dive into a delicious bowl of ramen. I think the build turned our really well. Looks great.
Love the videos and all the good vibes. As for a name: (Sakura Temple Gardens). Love the use of the Bamboo and Cherry Blossoms. Keep the wonderful work. Can't wait to see what's next!
My concern is ....how many citizens will fall into the key void, get stuck in the underside and how (seriously) will that affect your FPS over time.....probably minute, but, still wondering how much it bothers you :D Funny though :) I love the Asian town concept and looking forward to the rise of your downtown! Thanks for the fun streams :)
I wonder what will go across the river from Swark? I like the idea of an athletic park area with some of the new sports assets. Throw in a mono-rail threading through the different athletic fields could look smashing if done right. Plus the new mono-rail roads would fit in nicely. I can't wait to see what you come up with the new assets going ingame. :)
I think the low density residential stuff would work even better tightly spaced on the thinnest possible road in clusters than sensibly spread out along the sides of the district. Maybe try a larger square of korean low density monozoned in closer to the temple, with some parks where needed to combat that annoying noise mechanic? I feel like these buildings definitely gain a lot from a more "bustling" spacing
I think with the signs on the buildings and the variation in color and sizes the vibe is transported quite well - for a vanilla build anyway. I wish that fountain would have a smaller version, it feels a bit too large at the front of the temple. The detailing is perfect as usual, love the waterfront and the food plaza.
Incredible update as always. Looking forward to the next one. One question, your colours look so much better than mine do. Have you any videos on settings or downloads for render it profiles? Thanks as always for the awesome content!
Awesome district! I have an idea on how to use some of the other big unique buildings, like the Eiffel tower and Sphinx. A casino district like the Vegas Strip would make these buildings fit into a build and could be a nice way to mix some of these assests with the Tourism and Leisure stuff
If there was ever a time to use the pearl tower asset, this was it and you still didn't even consider it. I think it would be cool to see if you could work it in. Love this build. One of my favorites in orchid bay so far. Maybe a name for the district that is based on the cherry blossoms?
Great build as always Egg! How about a possible gravel road or lane along the back of the mid density housing? A lot of them have parking areas at the rear of the properties with no access to get to them?
I know the tram goes through this section and an intercity train as well as the ferry but with this kind of density I feel like an express metro direct to another hub or hubs would be well used.
Rll loved the episode but maybe putting the tram tracks next to the key and not letting it run on the road would be good to make traffic better and get a better visual style
I think the trees within the pedestrian pathway leading to the temple is a bit distracting. They disrupt the view of the temple, especially when you spent the time to frame the entrance with the structures on ethier side of the pathway. I would suggest removing the trees and leaving the path open, or use a small bush instead.
I think the sims dip into the quay because you had to run further inland after you turned it, so the asset was just glitching. Also I think you made it a one-way quay, so the sims were turning left into nowhere.
Hey, for the homeless Ferry Depot, how about a quayed inlet/harbor, maybe along with some fishing industry, in one of those islands in the area. Maybe the backside of the one it's currently on?
I believe you built the key wall on a massive gap where it bent so the game still believes there's a dip between the road and key, even if not visible, a few taps of terraforming should fix it without having the ground pop out of the key
I would have placed the low assets with lots of parking places along the road on the side of the tracks, and have the 'low' density residential be a smoother transition to the towers
Getting more excited every week about where that ferry depot will end up... my guess is it will end up being by the ocean on the far side of the city! How about Orchid Seoul for the name of "asiatown"?
Ive created a few low density korean buildings on my high density area because they all look like big buildings, but after a while when i came back they all got to level 5 and all became the same mansions, i was confused haha it became a hole in the high density area.
Nice mix of traditional and modern asian vibe. At first i was confused by my association of "china town" but obviously modern japan and korea is far more developed that the traditional china town street market streets, etc (which would a nice vibe too). Call it Pandatown, oder Panda District, because Pandas are (cute) thick boys just like those commerical towers. 🐼
This is my favorite Cities skylines series, all in all. I have learned a lot thanks to you to make my cities look better. Greetings from Cumana, Venezuela By the way, it occurs to me to call Chinatown Lucky Star. That's the name of a Chinese restaurant in my city that was near my house. PS: idea for next episode could be expanding the city's subway. The city is so big that it already deserves an expansion of its two lines and maybe a third one xD but it's your decision :)
instead of pedestrian path going over the rails, perhaps make one pedestrian path going under the rails? they are more safer as ppl don't accidently fall down onto the rails. and also is a more of a direct path.
Hi Egg! I know it's kind of irrelevant to today's video but where can I find the parking lot assets? Are they in a content creator pack or something? Love your videos!
About 'Grand Open ' instead of Grand Opening - Its sooo authentic -English Grammar not a strongpoint if you are Korean. Me Love that mistake - Totally fits... 😅
Asiatown district could be called Overcharged Eggroll
eggrolls are part of Chinese cuisine - this area is based on Japanese and Korean assets so it doesn't make sense for it to be named that - it's sweeping three very different cultures into one thing.
Original. 😅
RRRRACIST😁
@@gooseum chill, please 🤬
That’s absolutely hilarious. I love it
Love this series! Since you’ve implemented so many decorative trees and Asian features you could call this the Cherry Blossom District.
I like that!
To follow on from this what about the sakura district
@@hassaansyed5279 I had to look that up but I like it!!
Churry Brossom
Since this is Orchid Bay, and Orchids being pretty woven in Chinese culture, you could call it ''Lanhua District'' (Orchid/Orchid flower district in Chinese)
I love that

I really enjoyed this episode, the combination of assets works so well! Love the idea of adding the yoga garden that was suggested by someone else.
Thoughts about the district name: I looked up the korean word for orchid and it sounds pretty cute. "Nancho".
I second this!
I've had the same problem with those Korean buildings on a normal road too. There's a nice 2x2 tall commercial asset in the Hearts of Korea pack that's perfect for a corner.

Cheers Rich! I need a tour of Kasadia for water front inspo soon ;)
I would have used the Korean food alley asset! I love it, it's one of my favorite HoK assets
Whenever I think of Chinatown, I think of outdoor pedestiran markets which... is not really something in the game at the moment. Only asset I can think of that kind of replicates the idea is the fish market from sunset harbor. But anyway it looks great! The Hearts of Korea assets are gorgeous
I really enjoyed that detailing session. The repeating fountains out front of the temple blew my mind. Never thought of using that asset like that.
If you were to leave a dislike then you have no business watch a city skylines build. As this guy is the king of city building. Another amazing build my man. Keep it up.

For the ferry depot you could build a ferry marina like a ferry transit hub if you want inspiration check out Elizabeth quay in Perth
Superb build as always egg! Such a delight to see the mixed use of everything together and the height of the towers/assets is just perfection! Maybe you could name it after famous Japanese districts like Harajuku or Shinjuku by fusing it with Orchid Bay? OrchidJuku? It may be inaccurate since the area is a bit more dominant with the HoK pack.
I really like the fountains lining the sides of the temple entrance! I think you could imagine Koi fish swimming in there :)
Something new by OE, that's almost impossible, as he has covered so much, but no, there are always surprised.

Ok, memo for myself - get the HoC CCP now!!
😂
What a great area, I like those low-mid-high-whatever density buildings...
this is just a builders guide in title but really a master piece of design. Your flow through this city is great. I dream of doing this. I began using mods and still don't make cities this well. I am stuck in just building cities like I did in Sim City, where you just build big and fill in quickly.
Takes times mate, I've got nearly 3k hours in the game. My cities didn't look like this when I started 😌
I'm throwing 'Won Quay' out as a name for Asia Town.. 1. Won = currency of S Korea and 2. Accommodates for the bend in the river - Won Quay = wonky 😂😂
I'm always excited when I see you posted a new vid and you didn't dissapoint this time either. Loved the build!
The high density commercial is quite repetetive though. Maybe try some different size plots to counteract this?
As always, this series is such great inspiration. Thanks for making my Monday mornings a little bit more bearable!
The Korean phrase for Bay of Orchids is Nanchoui Man so that's my suggestion.
日本でも竹を街路樹にすることはかなり稀ですが、川沿いの桜は誰もが好きですし、現実の日本では疎かにされたランドスケープ設計がなされてるのでかなり住みやすそうです！！ Thank you Egg!
Great build again!
I'm not sure if any city council would line the streets with bamboo. It is after all a very fast growing weed.
But this is a game, you play it well and it all looks great.

A monorail sports area would be very unique!
Sitting at home with a nasty cold. Very happy about the new episode, thank you❤
Those night time shots are amazing with all the different coloured lights 😍
The wait for downtown becomes ever closer
The Asiatown is excellent! I just love trams along a waterfront. 💕
I would name the Asian area 'East River District', idk if it's also on the east of the map but it being fully next to the river should be in the name
I think the low density residential stuff would work even better tightly spaced on the thinnest possible road in clusters than sensibly spread out along the sides of the district. Maybe try a larger square of korean low density monozoned in closer to the temple, with some parks where needed to combat that annoying noise mechanic?

I wish that fountain would have a smaller version, it feels a bit too large at the front of the temple. The detailing is perfect as usual, love the waterfront and the food plaza.
Oh, what a great way to start a Monday, lovelly building. Let me ask you: are those ferries needed at all?
Incredible update as always. Looking forward to the next one. One question, your colours look so much better than mine do. Have you any videos on settings or downloads for render it profiles? Thanks as always for the awesome content!

Howdie OE, looking forward to this episode! from Allenstown, NH. USA
If there was ever a time to use the pearl tower asset, this was it and you still didn't even consider it. I think it would be cool to see if you could work it in. Love this build. One of my favorites in orchid bay so far. Maybe a name for the district that is based on the cherry blossoms?
I think too big for this area, that asset is a real chungus! Maybe in the actual main high density skyline we can include it :) Glad you enjoyed it ❤
Finally got all caught up on this amazing series
This looks amazing. Really love the Asian based assets.
The commercial area is very Korea-like. Love it!
And the residential gave me European, low rise residential right on the main street vibes...?
I use the residential in Hearts of Korea sometimes for higher density but don't care for the commercial assets as much. Great build!
They have cute tiny police and fire station too, but i think the asset i like the most is the korean school.
It makes me think of a Bibimbap! Which is a Korean dish that's essentialy a mixed bowl! With it being a mix of asian cultures, it kinda makes sense!
Great build as always Egg! How about a possible gravel road or lane along the back of the mid density housing? A lot of them have parking areas at the rear of the properties with no access to get to them?
I know the tram goes through this section and an intercity train as well as the ferry but with this kind of density I feel like an express metro direct to another hub or hubs would be well used.
My only gripe... the episodes not long enough lol very cool can't wait to see more
12:24 on the clock means I can drink - thanks Egg!
Rll loved the episode but maybe putting the tram tracks next to the key and not letting it run on the road would be good to make traffic better and get a better visual style
Great episode again! Suggestion for a china / Asian town maybe add a night market or some Asian restaurants if they are in any of the packs 👍😎
Another cracking builds egg. Are you not doing anymore on the creative mode map anymore??
I think the trees within the pedestrian pathway leading to the temple is a bit distracting. They disrupt the view of the temple, especially when you spent the time to frame the entrance with the structures on ethier side of the pathway. I would suggest removing the trees and leaving the path open, or use a small bush instead.
Exactly what I was waiting for!!!
I think the sims dip into the quay because you had to run further inland after you turned it, so the asset was just glitching. Also I think you made it a one-way quay, so the sims were turning left into nowhere.

That skyline is starting to look sharp!
always on top as usual thank you for this beautiful city❤❤❤
I would have placed the low assets with lots of parking places along the road on the side of the tracks, and have the 'low' density residential be a smoother transition to the towers
Getting more excited every week about where that ferry depot will end up... my guess is it will end up being by the ocean on the far side of the city!
How about Orchid Seoul for the name of "asiatown"?
Could have been a little bigger but overall it looks great! Love those heights on the buildings
Looks fantastic Egg!
How about "Apostasia" as the name for Asiatown? It's a grass orchid from that part of the world. And it sounds good to say out loud 😁
Since its asia town, where im from (malaysia) orchids are also called anggerik. Suggestion to name it Anggerik district
I can't speak for Korea, but "Grand Open" is a very common thing to see in Japan...
Ive created a few low density korean buildings on my high density area because they all look like big buildings, but after a while when i came back they all got to level 5 and all became the same mansions, i was confused haha it became a hole in the high density area.
why not put the ferry depot by the industrial district on the water
I really love and enjoy this series
What's with the 12:24 in the video? Is it some clock mod that doesn't work properly since you don't use day night?
Nice mix of traditional and modern asian vibe. At first i was confused by my association of "china town" but obviously modern japan and korea is far more developed that the traditional china town street market streets, etc (which would a nice vibe too). Call it Pandatown, oder Panda District, because Pandas are (cute) thick boys just like those commerical towers. 🐼
15:15 Rare moment of people no-clipping into The Backrooms caught on camera.
This is my favorite Cities skylines series, all in all. I have learned a lot thanks to you to make my cities look better. Greetings from Cumana, Venezuela

Just surprised you didn't use the Japanese zen tea garden park anywhere in the east Asian block :)
The "Egg Drop" District
I just opened it, haven't watched it yet, but I like it right away
This man deserves like 300k subs
Cheers bro! Your comments help 😌
@OVERCHARGEDEGG may I ask which Mod you are using for Prop Lines? Thank you.
I’m dying to see what you’re eventually going to do with that ferry depot or are you going to keep pushing it to the edge of the map 😅
Hi Egg! I know it's kind of irrelevant to today's video but where can I find the parking lot assets? Are they in a content creator pack or something? Love your videos!
The green roofs reminds me a lot of the kdramas ive watched haha
About 'Grand Open ' instead of Grand Opening - Its sooo authentic -English Grammar not a strongpoint if you are Korean. Me Love that mistake - Totally fits... 😅
Galearis is verity or orchid found in Korea. Maybe name it something like Gelearis Shikaku (Japanese for square).
Asiatown could be called Little Seoul.
I can't find the parking lots on Xbox one. I see the parking garage but no lots
Sakura Street could be the name of the waterfront road
In Japan, "Grand Opening" is legitimately called "Grand Open" 😂
It's looking nice, it's already like a mini downtown ain't it.
Half ready to buy a ps5 just to keep up with the expansion of Orchid Bay beyond 9 tiles... Either way you know I'm gonna keep watching
New ep!
When will be the first orchid bay lifestream?
