d e s m o n d c k w ◦ p h o t o g r a p h y: Sunset

In this post, I'll share more landscape photos of Hong Kong. This time I had shot a couple of sunsets and sunrise as well.

In my opinion, the best sunrise view would be at Victoria Peak (太平山). I woke up early at 5:30 a.m. to get myself ready and also my equipment. The MTR services start at as early as 6:00 a.m. so I took a train to Central (中環) station and a taxi ride to Lugard Road (盧吉道). Along Lugard Road (盧吉道), the view is much better than the view from The Peak (香港山頂) and it's free of charge !

7:04 a.m.

7:24 a.m.

7:40 a.m.

7:45 a.m.

There were some others that early too...

After sunrise, let's enjoy some sunsets ! The following photo was taken in Mong Kok (旺角) which is near to the place I stayed.

I went up to sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck capture some sunsets and night cityscape of Hong Kong. I purchased the ticket in advance so I can skip the queue and enjoy some online discount. The ticket costs HKD142 and HKD168 for online purchase and walk-in purchase respectively.

After the sunset...

There are a lot more night cityscape worth viewing and photographing in Hong Kong. I went to a few more other places around Central (中環) and Admiralty (金鐘) as there are a lot of beautiful skylines there.

And the last but not least, the best up-close view of Hong Kong city at Victoria Harbour (維多利亞港) !

Tanjung Aru Beach, Sabah

It's good to be back here again to the place where I grew up... my hometown. Tanjung Aru beach is one of the best compared to beaches around Kota Kinabalu. It's only 10 minutes drive away from the city centre.

We went here to enjoy the sunset while eating snacks bought from the stalls at the beach area. There are many food stalls and bars along the beach so usually there are a lot of locals spending their weekend and picnics there.
