They get those too from my recollection. The +6 food there for example is +3 base yield, +1 from lighthouse, and +2 from being breathtaking next to a Preserve with a Sanctuary.
So Ha Long Bay gets base 1 production, +2 from sanctuary, and +3 from Auckland.
But everything changed when the Inca attacked (or potentially anyone with mountain tunnels).
At least one city state that should be safe from conquerers !
Interestingly, it appears right away as being sieged (by mountains, but still).
Speaking of the Inca, encouraged by the positive reception to my nice coastal city, I asked myself what would the opposite look like? It's only been 100 turns, so there is more to go with this one. BUT here is what I've got so far.
Less cluttered UI:
Yields:
Beautiful, except for those cursed backwards yields on the one tile in the corner:
Edit: I just realized its everywhere

There's a reason I crop the pictures. However, I'm curious, did you also see Machu Picchu Mr. Eagle Eye? Building that thing on deity is a miracle. Like the ugly duckling and the swan, those hill tiles are going to become beautiful districts.
Ironically, the Inca are imo. the civilization that gets the least benefit of Machu Picchu. Not only do you use an otherwise workable tile (unlike other civs), you also have to plant districts next to mountains where you'd rather place your terrace farms.There's a reason I crop the pictures.

Considering terrace farms can only be placed on hills, if you just so happened to find a bunch of flat land near mountains I would argue it's very beneficial.Ironically, the Inca are imo. the civilization that gets the least benefit of Machu Picchu.

Oh, wow...at first by "donut" I thought you meant the arch then I was looking for the Preserve.....Well, my last picture didn't really satisfy me. Please indulge me as I share with you another pair: the Inca Donut.
A truly ridiculous start, complete with a natural wonder, mountain donut, and one extra mountain for the mostly ornamental Machu Picchu. Fortunately, most of the tiles surrounding the donut are hills. Antananarivo may need to um, go away in the long run.
