Offbeat filming locations, search for a different Hong Kong

Hong Kong, a place I have been to countless times. Those familiar tourist attractions in Hong Kong are well-known, but in fact, there are many beautiful and unknown photography spots hidden in the busy city. They are suitable for people to slowly stroll and appreciate in peace.

Rainbow Village is one of the most popular photography spots in Hong Kong recently. It gained fame after the 2016 SONY World Photography Awards Hong Kong region winner took their winning shot here. This has attracted countless hipsters and sports enthusiasts to take photos at this location. Photography tips: Dress in an artistic or sporty style, and it is recommended to wear plain-colored clothes because the colorful buildings of Rainbow Village can easily clash with colorful clothing, making it hard to highlight the person. Additionally, if the weather is clear and the ground is clean, lying on the basketball court and using the distinct lines for various compositions can also result in great photos.
Hidden here is a 'Sky Mirror,' which is a few granite benches on the central platform of the park. The smooth rock surface can reflect beautiful scenery. Even on a sunny day, you can capture the effect of water reflections, which is fantastic! Photography tip: Place the camera directly on the bench surface and shoot from a low angle.
Stephen Chow's famous movie 'King of Comedy' was filmed in Shek O. Shek O has colorful houses reminiscent of Venice's Burano Island, as well as Maldives-like blue skies, clear seas, and sandy beaches. Walking slowly here or sitting quietly all day won't feel boring. Photography tip: Check the weather forecast in advance; the beach is most beautiful when the sun is shining.

Sai Ying Pun

Here, there is an animal protection program event participated by Niki Chow, and a graffiti mural painted by an artist using her as a model. There are also other animal murals, such as elephants, which make great backgrounds for street photography. In the exit passage of Sai Ying Pun MTR station, there is another beautiful sight not to be missed. It is a colorful three-dimensional relief mural, created using old Hong Kong street scenes as material, and it is very lifelike. Standing in front of the mural, it feels like being in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s. Photography suggestion: casual street photography.
Hong Kong Disneyland is also a great place for photography, full of childlike fun! Whether it's the parade or the fireworks show, the entire park is full of spots for you to take photos!
