With its towering skyscrapers, sweeping mountains and sparkling harbor, Hong Kong has no shortage of scenic views. We rounded up some of the most effortlessly photogenic spots in the city, so get your camera ready.

Quarry Bay Park, Hoi Tai Street

Park

Yik,Cheong,Building,,Also,Known,As,The,Monster,Building,,Old

This quiet waterfront park in Quarry Bay offers a gorgeous view of East Kowloon across the harbor. As one of the city’s lesser-known parks, it’s relatively uncrowded and your shot won’t be obstructed by hordes of passersby. It’s also home to the Yik Cheong building, also known as the Monster, a famous building and a particular favourite of photographers.

Western District Public Cargo Pier (aka Instagram Pier)

This cargo depot in Sai Wan is a hotspot for Instagram check-ins – hence the name Instagram Pier. It’s known for its gorgeous sunset views and for its ‘Mirror of the Sky’ quality after a rainfall, when a thick layer of water creates a perfect reflection of the heavens.

Montane Mansion

Hong Kong Photography Tours

Montane Mansion is a block of five densely-packed residential buildings in Quarry Bay. Built back in the 60s, this exemplifies Hong Kong’s tight urban architecture. Captured from below, the constrictive architecture is somehow uniquely alluring.

Sai Wan Swimming Shed

Swimming Pool

This picturesque wooden pier was constructed in the 60s for nearby residents who swam into the channel, and is now popular with photographers, especially at dusk. The pier feels blissfully remote but it’s actually only 15 minutes away from Kennedy MTR station, just below Victoria Road.

Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade

Hong Kong Nightlife Tours

For gorgeous and unobstructed views of Victoria Harbor and Hong Kong Island, you can’t go wrong with this popular waterfront. This is a perfect place to catch that iconic snap of the Starry Ferry or the red-masted Aqua Luna junk.

Central Pier No. 9/No. 10

Building

If you’re taking Hong Kong’s iconic Star Ferry from Central, you might as well drop by Piers 9 and 10. These public piers are docking points for private junks, which means they’re much less frequently used than the ferry-servicing piers and a great artistic hotspot.

Choi Hung Estate, Kowloon

Building

Hong Kong Walking Tours

This public housing estate located in Wong Tai Sin is distinctive for its Instagram-worthy facade of rainbow panels – which is fitting, considering that ‘Choi Hung’ means ‘rainbow.’

The Peak

Hong Kong Day Trips

The first thing you need to add to your Hong Kong to-do list is the Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. The cool mountain air made Victoria Peak the city’s most exclusive area during the old colonial days, but the uninterrupted view of spellbinding skyline is the main attraction in the new millennium. The historic tram is the most scenic — and exertion-free — path to the top.
