Cityscapes at night are one of my preferred subjects to photograph. Some of my favourite landscapes combine interesting foregrounds and backgrounds. The Lion’s Pavilion at the top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong is perfect for this. As you can see it does get very crowded with tourists, especially at night. It’s quite small and on two or three levels. Being free there’s no restriction on coming and going. Two advantages over the far more popular Peak Tower. Whilst Peak Tower is 8 floors higher so the view is a little more spectacular, this view is well worth seeing. It’s amazing how many people seems to ignore or miss Lion’s Pavilion. It’s only about 50 metres flat walk from the tower and tram stop.
