The subtly pearlescent Kai Tak Stadium with a retractable roof is an instagrammable spot in itself. If you have entry to the stadium, head to the South Stand, reinvented from the famous 18-and-over seating section at the Hong Kong Stadium. There’s a large event platform at the top, set against a panoramic glass wall that provides an unimpeded, stunning view of Victoria Harbour.

Central Square is the main axis connecting the Kai Tak Stadium to the adjoining parts of the Sports Park. From above, its design resembles a piece of fabric stretched and pinned to the neighbouring structures – albeit with a huge hole. From inside, it is a great portal-like circle opening to the sky. Crouch down and tilt your lens upwards to capture the structure, the sky and the Stadium in one frame.

Sitting on the 15th floor of Dorsett Kai Tak Hong Kong, London’s iconic Jin Bo Law Sky Bar serves expertly crafted cocktails inspired by global destinations. This Hong Kong outpost of the London-acclaimed nightlife destination boasts a sleek interior that offers panoramic city views of the Kai Tak Stadium and the harbour through its floor-to-ceiling windows. The blueish-purple hue of the Stadium matches beautifully with the sky and water. Step out onto their spacious terrace with an infinity pool for a change in vibe with equally stunning vistas.

Tucked away on the fourth floor of Joypolis Sports Hong Kong lies Hungry Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the brainchild of local interdisciplinary designer Keo W. The modern Japanese-inspired style of the restobar blends sporting elements with red and black dominant hues. Head to its semi-outdoor dining area that offers a 270º view of the Kai Tai Stadium. Whatever time of the day you visit, Hungry Tiger, Hidden Dragon makes a great photo spot.

London-based Mainland Chinese artist Satr has created a four-metre-long mural next to Kai Tak Sports Park’s Health and Wellness Centre featuring the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. Done in her monochrome, ink painting style, ‘The Rhythm of Life’ shows animals leaping forward accompanied by misty swirls inspired by Chinese cloud motifs symbolising auspiciousness. Snap a photo with your zodiac animal and stroll up the steps nearby to get a good view over the Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground.

Another piece of art in the complex is the ‘Water/Sky’ sculpture by Australian artist Dominique Sutton, standing at the Water Sky Fountain. The eight-metre aluminium figure has its head held high hopefully with an arm stretched skyward – representing the ambition and drive of Hong Kong athletes. The metal surface of the sculpture is etched with symbols relevant to Hong Kong, and when illuminated at night, its shadows form the loose shape of a map.

As the largest urban square in Hong Kong, the Kai Tak Station Square is a green breathing space in the busy city, boasting large water features which complement the existing Kai Tak River running through the square. These bodies of water can act as a ‘sky mirror’, providing arresting images of the surrounding buildings and the clouds in the water reflections. The effect is most stunning around golden hour and dusk, so time your schedule well.

This cafe brand is situated within K.Summit, overlooking Kai Tak Station Square and its water features, framed on two sides by floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views across the buildings of Kowloon City and Lok Fu to the city’s iconic Lion Rock. Order one of their single-origin espresso coffees and a bite to enjoy, and try to snag a seat by the window so you can take mood shots gazing out into Kowloon’s cityscape.

This health-conscious local eatery’s location inside Kai Tak Mall 3, next to the Health and Wellness Centre, means customers get a great view of the Kai Tak Youth Sports Grounds. Being on the ground floor, the cafe is only separated from the sports pitch by large windows. The orange-dominant bleachers and track make for a colourful background when taking food photos.

AIRSIDE opens out onto a rooftop garden on its sixth floor, with lush greenery and flora native to Hong Kong. When the amphitheatre section is not hosting programmes, the terraced steps make for an interesting photo backdrop. Angle your lens to capture the greenery against the cityscape for a contrast between manmade and nature. Since AIRSIDE is a pet-friendly mall, this is also a popular spot with pet owners and their furry companions.
