Flip the script at this location and rotate your photo for an unexpected viewpoint of the famous Lok Wah South Estate Garage Rooftop. With a model, you can create the illusion that they're hanging onto the edge of the red bench, when in reality, they're laying down — such an underrated way to snap a mind-altering shot!

How to get there

N22° 19' 13.26"E114° 13' 14.3544"
I took this photo of the model, red benches and blue circular structures in the Lok Wah South Estate Car Park. Once you get to the car park, the red benches and circular structures will be within your sight. By MTR: - Closest MTR Station: Ngau Tau Kok (Kwun Tong Line) - Take “Exit A” - Head south on Ngau Tau Kok Rd - Turn left onto Tung Ming St - Turn right toward Hong Ning Rd - Turn left onto Hong Ning Rd - Turn left onto Chun Wah Rd Address: Lok Wah South Estate Garage, 70 Chun Wah Rd, Ngau Tau Kok, Hong Kong

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Late afternoon
You'll be able to photograph the Lok Wak South Estate Car Park during any month of the year because there aren't many seasonal changes in the area.
The late afternoon light will be soft enough so that the colors can pop in the photo. If the sunlight is too bright, the blue and red hues won't be as vibrant.

Field tips

I shot this with an iPhone, but if I was using a camera, I would have brought along a wide-angle lens. If your lens is a bit wider you'll be able to incorporate more of the scene in your frame.
In order to get a similar photo, you'll have to take a shot straight on, with your model laying on the red bench, and then rotate it to the right to make it seem like your model is "hanging" from the bench.
A model is really key here! Make sure to bring a friend along and suggest that they wear a neutral color, like black, so they don't distract from the blue and red architecture.
