Ta da !
I came to this page to post what I thought was a good picture, but I am having second thoughts after seeing Stuge's photo 
.
Anyway, here's one of the pictures I took on my trip to Chongqing, China last month. This is the Great Hall of the People. Beautiful place to spend your evenings.

The entire album is present here.
I really need to learn how to PP images like the way Stuge does.

@Gen.Libeb : Nice shots. I want to learn how to take night shots of skylines. What are the things I need to keep in my mind?
There's this beautiful place in Chongqing, the Chaotianmen square, where the rivers Jialing and Yangtze meet. The night skyline is just mesmerizing. I thought since this is a wide-angle shot, setting the camera to aperture priority and shooting at f11-f16 will get me a good shot. There was so much light from the cruise ships that the whole lot of pictures came out just full of colours, as if looking at the skyline through coloured glass!
I regret my decision now (going back to China is a decision my wallet won't approve )

Thanks for your comments everyone.
Then used a high filter pass overlay for more sharpening for both.
On the first, the first thing I noticed I wasn't those light getting stars, I tried several shots but never got it right. Blotchy sky could be clouds/noise, I didn't notice much till I read your post.
I have the same problem with too much light on day time long exposure shots. The 2-3 stop built in ND filter just doesn't cut it.
Adjusted sharpness & noise sliders in ACR for the first one, unsharp mask for the 2nd.

I just keep exposure time between 10-15 seconds for these night shots. ISO to 80 (lowest). Aperture to F8 (lowest on your camera) & definitely not shoot hand held.. place the camera somewhere. Also try to use a timer, you know pressing the button will cause some shake.

The lack of reflection is the long exposure working on the waves
This effect looks like a remove the extreme levels + bump up saturation/warmth a tiny bit - I know coz thats my most used setting

Nothing really. One could use it to commit suicide, if he were so inclined! Not sure he'd die though.
