Hong Kong Disneyland made backwards?

[CoffeeJedi]

I've seen the pics, and HKDL is nestled down in some pretty impressive mountains that dwarf the castle. The setting is quite beautifull. The other side of the park has a stunning view of the relatively near skyline of Hong Kong. But there's a problem. The whole thing is backwards. When you're in Adventureland (which will one day fold some Frontierland concepts into an "American Old West" section) you can see Hong Kong off in the distance, yet when you're in Tommorowland, you see the mountains. Shouldn't they have built the park t'other way 'round so the background fits the theming? Or is this a feng shui thing, balancing the manmade and the natural?

I have not been to HKDL yet. However I don't think you can see any of Hong Kong out in the distance from within the park. I could be wrong, but I am almost certain that is not the case. Additionaly there are mountains visible around Adventureland, these make the jungle cruise dock much more impressive. As for the parks orientation it was decided on based on feng shui.

Take a look at this column from Miceage this week. The picture of the Castle with Hong Kong in the background is stunning.

Unfortunatly I am almost 100% certain that picture was edited and is fake. If you know the layout of HKDL you know that the view over that side of the castle would be mostly mountains on the other side of the water, you would not see downtown HK as that is on the other side and is blocked by mountains.
