This puzzle was created by Jakhob and wooferzfg, and it is named after a village in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The rules, which combine U-Bahn with Skyscrapers, originate from a puzzle by KNT.
If you are unfamiliar with U-Bahn, here is a guide that covers the core logic.
Draw a loop network through the centers of some cells, which may branch or turn, but may not have any dead ends.
In the rectangular areas outside the grid on the top and left, a clue indicates how many times the corresponding line shape (i.e. a cross, branch, straight line, or turn) appears in the corresponding row or column, irrespective of the line shape's rotation.
Assign a value to each line shape:
turn = 1
straight line = 2
branch = 3
cross = 4
A clue directly outside the grid is a Skyscrapers clue, which indicates how many cells in the corresponding row or column contain a larger value than all cells before it from the direction of the clue.
Solution code: For each column except the last, from left to right, the number of lines leading to the right from that column

Lovely puzzle, perfect 50th solve on the portal ! As a "noobahn" (from the eponymous filuta puzzle), I didn't find it too hard, apart from the ending, where I missed some easy deductions. Thanks for setting this !
