2 Sai Wan
Sai Wan is a popular spot for photographers to snap classic harbour-view vistas. Many would consider the Western District Public Cargo Working Area—aka “Instagram Pier”—to be one of the best spots for pictures due to the density of amazing shooting locations. In fact, the container terminal and cargo dock have become extremely well-known to Instagrammers of all kinds, with some even claiming this dock for wedding photos! To tick it off of your bucket list, definitely capture a photo against the colourful shipping containers or sit by the edge of the docks for that classic Instagram waterfront snap.
However, while many would probably head straight to Instagram Pier for photos in the Sai Wan area, we would suggest stopping at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Park, which is about 10 to 15 minutes from the Western District Public Cargo Working Area. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Park is a great alternative to going to Instagram Pier if you want the same vibes but fewer people; I suggest posing in front of the pillars with the Hong Kong skyline in the background.
