Photo Walk: Hong Kong (Dec 2026)

Meet and greet at Hong Kong International Airport, where our private minibus will take us straight to Tsim Sha Tsui for hotel check-in. Once settled, we’ll head up to The Peak, the city’s most iconic viewpoint. As the sun sets and the skyline begins to sparkle, you’ll capture Hong Kong at its most breathtaking — the perfect start to our photo walk.

We start early with sunrise at Tsim Sha Tsui, followed by our first taste of a local cha chaan teng breakfast — a true Hong Kong classic. We move on to the well-known Monster Building and North Point Fire Station — both favourites for urban shots.

Afternoon, we’ll hop aboard one of Hong Kong’s historic double-decker trams, fondly known as “ding dings”. Running for more than a century, they remain the most charming way to see the city at street level. As we roll through Central, you’ll be able to lean out of the windows and photograph neon signs, shopfronts and the flow of everyday life — it’s not just a ride, it’s a moving photo walk

In the evening, we rise to the 100th floor of Sky100, an indoor viewing deck offering sweeping views across Victoria Harbour. As night falls, we end the day with a light trail photography session at the Central, where trams and traffic light up the streets with colour and motion.

We begin the morning at the Wong Tai Sin Temple, one of Hong Kong’s most vibrant and photogenic temples. With its bright red pillars, golden roofs and colourful lanterns, it’s a striking place to capture culture and detail shots. The incense smoke, fortune tellers and flow of worshippers add to the atmosphere, making it a rich spot for storytelling images.

Next, we step into the world of Hong Kong’s public housing estates — a true playground for photographers. From bold grid patterns and sharp geometric lines to the rainbow basketball courts of Choi Hung and the famous circular car park at Lok Wah, each estate offers its own mix of colour, texture and perspective that captures the city’s urban character.

As the day winds down, we’ll move to the Kowloon Victoria Harbour for wide-open skyline views at sunset and blue hour. We end the evening at the buzzing Temple Street Night Market, where neon signs, fortune stalls and street food stalls create the perfect setting for lively, candid night photography.

Today we turn our lenses towards Hong Kong’s cutting-edge architecture and design spaces. Each stop offers bold forms, striking lines and creative details that are perfect for photographers who enjoy structure and perspective.

We begin with the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre, a futuristic building designed by Daniel Libeskind, with dramatic angles and reflective surfaces that make for powerful architectural shots. Next is the Jockey Club Innovation Tower, another landmark of modern design, where curved lines and unusual shapes stand out against the city backdrop.

In the afternoon, we visit the elegant Xiqu Centre, home to Chinese opera, with its sweeping façade and lattice-style curtain wall — a blend of tradition and modernity. We then move on to K11 Musea, a stylish cultural-retail hub with imaginative interiors and artistic details, followed by the grand West Kowloon Station, whose soaring ceilings and light-filled concourse provide stunning spaces for wide-angle shots.

For those with extra energy in the evening, there’s an optional photowalk in Sham Shui Po (easily reached by MTR). This working-class district is one of Hong Kong’s most authentic neighbourhoods, full of street markets, neon signs and raw urban character. Despite being the city’s poorest district, it’s also home to famous Michelin-recommended street food stalls, making it a rewarding stop for both photography and a taste of local life.

Today we dive into the heart of old Hong Kong, exploring the Yau Ma Tei district, an area full of history and character.

We begin at the Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market, a wholesale market that has been running since 1913. The mix of stacked fruit boxes, hand-painted signs, and busy workers offers plenty of candid photo opportunities. Just nearby is the Red Brick Building, a rare piece of Edwardian architecture in Hong Kong, once part of a water pumping station — a striking subject for architectural shots.

Next, we step into the Tin Hau Temple, a spiritual corner dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea. The temple’s incense coils, red lanterns and carved details give it a timeless atmosphere, perfect for capturing both wide and close-up details. We’ll also explore other colonial-era landmarks around Shanghai Street and the Former Yau Ma Tei Police Station, each with their own stories to tell through the lens.

In the evening, we head into Mong Kok, one of the busiest districts in the world. Here, the energy of Hong Kong comes alive — neon shop signs glowing above narrow streets, food stalls steaming, and crowds weaving through markets. It’s a paradise for street photographers, offering endless chances for bold, dynamic shots that capture the spirit of the city at night.

On our final morning, we’ll enjoy a relaxed photo walk along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, capturing the sweeping views of Victoria Harbour one last time. The soft morning light across the skyline makes for calm, reflective images — a gentle way to round off our journey.

Before departure, there will be time for participants to enjoy a free and easy morning around the hotel area. This is the perfect chance to do a bit of last-minute shopping, savour some of Hong Kong’s great local food, or even squeeze in a little street photography in the lively Tsim Sha Tsui streets. It’s a flexible, relaxed way to wrap up the trip at your own pace.

Later, our private minibus will transfer the group to Hong Kong International Airport, marking the end of our week together — with memory cards full, friendships made, and plenty of photographs to take home.
