Tin Heng Estate Playground, Courts & Estate Houses

This image was taken with a drone on top of the Tin Heng Estate playground on the southeast side of the basketball courts. From this aerial view you can see the courts, playground and estate houses. The best way to get there is to take the MTR. There is also a parking garage (Tin Heng Estate Car Park) just north of the courts. Once at Tin Heng, look for the large, multi-colored building with zig-zag staircases. Make your way to the top of the car park, go to the edge of the basketball court and prep the drone for take off. In this photo, you can see where @flosslai and myself stood — just look at the southeast corner of the courts! By MTR: - Closest Station: Tin Shui Wai Station (West Rail line) - Take the 705 light rail to Tin Heng - Once at Tin Heng, look for the large, multi-colored building with zig-zag staircases - You can take the elevator or stairs to the top of the building

All months of the year are suitable to photograph Tin Heng Estate courts and playground.

Visit this place during the day when the buildings and the park are properly lit by the natural sunlight.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.

I recommend bringing a booster for your drone antennas. There's quite a lot of interference in the area, so make sure you have a strong signal.

Once you take off with your drone, try flying across the road and up just enough to get the buildings in the background. Make sure to still incorporate the basketball courts in view, too.

Take a couple of shots just wide enough so when in post-processing, you're able to crop in and fix the perspective.

Tin Shui Wai is a vast area of concrete buildings and estates. Spend the day walking around and exploring the unique architecture.

Head towards the Deep Bay and hike to the top of the hill to get a glimpse of Shen Zhen.

You can also visit the Wet Lands park!
