avatar
@harimaolee
This pier is a top destination for views of sunset and Hong Kong’s urban backdrop. I spiced things up with a look down perspective. Take your own creative angle and hang out with friends!

How to get there

N22° 17' 21.75"E114° 07' 54.8004"
The featured image is an aerial view of Western District Public Cargo Pier — also known as “Instagram Pier.” Refer to the GPS coordinate. You can’t miss it! By MTR station: - Closest MTR Station: HKU (Island Line) - Take Exit "B2" - Turn right on Hill Road - Walk north 20-minutes and follow signs to the Western District Public Cargo Pier. It’ll be on your left.

Tips

All months

Best time

Sunset
Visit the pier any month of the year!
You can take a great look down photograph of the pier anytime of day, but I recommend visiting at sunset for nice skyline photography and to spend quality time with friends.

Field tips

Be mindful as not to not disturb others or the security while on the pier.
I didn’t fly too high for this composition — maybe around 200 meters up.
Be patient and wait for something exciting to pass into your frame! I got lucky with the boat. 😅
