Two conversions of the same RAW file, blended in Photomatix. Then usual processing in Photoshop. It seems I overdid the "hot" buildings in the back, but I felt it added more punch to the image... Except with true HDR, it was completely impossible to get both the crowd and the buildings properly exposed.
Oh, and those bikes in front of me drove me nuts, but there was no way I could move around in the crowd.
Thanks all for the helpful comments.

Having the people in the foreground is a great idea but the exposure on the buildings seems a little over. Using a grad ND filter would probably have helped.
Neat night time image. The lights are a bit "hot" on the buildings in the background. The one on the right hand side looks like it's on fire or exploding. My favorite part of your image is the lower right hand quadrant and the orange glow from candles?
