Monster Building
If there is only one representative public housing in Hong Kong, Monster Building is the top choice for most people. Recommended shooting angles: ① Shoot upwards from the middle of the "E-shape", it is the most classic angle. Use a wide-angle lens for the best effect, and using the panoramic function is also a creative choice. ② For shooting people, it is best to have them stand in a depressed area of the building cluster and be closer to the camera.
The most worth shooting is the row of pitched tents along the street, which looks like colorful ribbons from a distance. Recommended shooting location: There is a large parking building directly opposite Temple Street, where you can take the elevator up and capture the entire street view. The 4th floor is an appropriate height for shooting.
Tai Ping Shan Peak
Due to being the best spot, the observation deck is always crowded with people. It is recommended to go up the mountain around 4 PM and stay until dark to capture different views of the scenery during the day, evening, and night. Going earlier can also secure a good spot.
Chongqing Mansion is home to residents and merchants from over 100 countries, earning it the nickname "Little United Nations of Hong Kong." Director Wong Kar-wai's film "Chungking Express" was also filmed here. The building houses many affordable hotels, shops, restaurants, and currency exchange stores. If interested, visitors can enter the building and take the elevator to the 3rd floor to capture the unique view of the atrium.
The design and color scheme of the Tianxing ferry terminal are very retro, as if time has frozen in the old days. The white and green walls and stairs, mottled black fans, and shadows cast by the old large windows add a sense of storytelling to this place.
Hong Kong MTR Station (Jordan as an example)
Hong Kong's subway stations are also essential and iconic photo spots. People who visit Hong Kong for the first time are often attracted by the colorful mosaic walls in the subway stations. Some even get off at every station just to take photos of the different colored walls and station names.
