Tips
When to go
Best season
January, February
Best time
Night
The flowers at the sides of the lift lobby are typically only present during the Chinese New Year (January, February), so I recommend planning your visit for then! That said, come any time for the light reflections.
Visit at night after office hours when it's less busy. The lobby security will be more likely to let you snap some pics!
Field tips
Be mindful and do not disturb people using the lifts.
By using a wide-angle lens (15mm) and getting low to the floor you’ll be able to fully capture the light reflection.
The lobby can be quite dark so using a tripod will help you take a crisp shot and accentuate the lights.
Get creative with your model! Having a subject in-frame puts the area into perspective.
