Mong Kok Road Footbridge view of Tung Choi Street (day)

The featured image was taken from the footbridge along Mong Kok Road and is a view down Tung Choi Street (between Fife Street and Argyle Street). It’s easy to navigate to via the GPS coordinate. By MTR: - Closest MTR station: Mong Kok (Kwun Tong Line & Tsuen Wan Line) - Take exit "B3" - Turn left on Sai Yeung Choi Street - Find the escalator leading to the footbridge on your left

All months are suitable to photograph from the footbridge — but visit soon as the neon lit signboards are being removed and increasingly uncommon.

The featured image was taken mid-day, but this area is great to photograph anytime — it’s always busy and daytime vs. night will give your image a different feel. Rainy days are also photogenic when people are using umbrellas.

By using telephoto lens (120mm) you'll compress the length of Toi Choi Street and all that’s interesting about it: the red minibuses, neon signages and pedestrians.

With so much action on the road being patient for the right moment usually pays off.

Don’t forget to bring along your tripod if you’re visiting at night. The neon lights are great to photograph.

If you’re visiting at night explore the area in search of neon lit street signs! Try Prince Edward Road, Argyle Street and Waterlook Road.
