Any vacation is incomplete without anyone documenting it via photography. That’s why when you come to Hong Kong, get ready to snap away at the amazing sights you’ll be seeing!

Hong Kong is a city full of character, which makes it a haven for people who love taking photos. Take the following locations for example, which you can add to your itinerary on your next visit.

Take selfies at Ani-Com Park @ Harbour “FUN”!

This newly opened park celebrating the city’s booming animation and comic culture, located in Wan Chai, has 30 life-sized sculptures of original local ani-com characters that portray unique ways of Hong Kong living. But don’t stop there – the district is where old and new streetscapes meet, as well as Eastern and Western cultures.

Graffiti-style art wherever you go.

You’ll do a lot of walking in Hong Kong. If you like street art, you’ll love it more as the city’s alleys and walls are covered with it. Feast your eyes and your camera when you take a stroll down SoHo, where you can find the most interesting and impactful pieces.

You don’t even have to go far for a Maldives experience as Skyscanner.com recommends Long Ke Wan in east Sai Kung for its long stretches of white sand and crystal clear waters. This beach, surrounded by a cape and two hills, is designed as an official campsite by the government.
