Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Night
All months of the year are suitable to photograph the neon sign.
To capture the illuminated neon sign visit at night — but try to get there before 11pm before the sign’s lights are turned off. The restaurant tends to close around midnight.

Field tips

Visit this location as soon as possible! Neon signs are becoming more and more rare. Nowadays they’re being taken down by the government for safety reasons.
Be patient and wait for your perfect moment. I waited for a taxi to pass by my frame. Try to capture a minibus!
If you happen to visit during a rainy day try playing with reflections! The street’s lights will help make for a great shot.
