I like the first one because the lighting is so dynamic and reminds of the fervor I felt in the city of Shanghai when I visited it. I would have preferred (perhaps) to have the ferrry boat not be there, but that is part of life in that city so perhaps it adds more than it detracts. To me the second shot could be almost any large city but the first one jumps out and gives you an impression of the vitality that the entire region has.
Here's a vote for 1 on account of the colors (blues, green, pink). Much more to attract my interest than 2. They're so attractive I did not notice the blurred ferry till others pointed it out.
