This image was taken in an exterior corridor at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. To get this perspective, I stood on the southeast corner of the building.
By MTR:
- Closest Station: East Tsim Sha Tsui (West Rail Line)
- Take Exit J
By Bus:
- Closest Stop: Middle Road (606S, N21)
Walk west along Salisbury Rd until you pass by the Space Museum. Then, turn left walking toward the river (south). Walk through the complex area and refer to the exact coordinates to find the spot of the exterior corridor.

Field tips
The featured photograph was taken with the lens close to the wall so that I could capturing a wider view of the area.
Play with the columns by placing a model partly behind it so you're hiding some of their body. Doing this will add a playful element to the photo.
Although I took this image with a portrait ratio, try out a landscape aspect if you want to emphasize the depth of the tunnel even more. For this, move the lens away from the wall.
The long corridor can be photographed from either end. Spend some time exploring all the different angles and try to find your own unique composition.
If I were to visit this photo location again, I would bring a mirror and use it to create a symmetrical view of the leading lines by holding it close to the lens.

If you plan on exploring the area, take the ferry ride to Hong Kong Island instead of taking the metro — it's a much more pleasant ride!
