The building is amazing, but then you remember that people live in such cramped conditions. I'm certainly not one to judge but we personally felt a little uncomfortable with people posing for pictures. I wouldn't like it of people were showing up to take pictures in front of where I live. Still not real sure how I feel about it.…

The place is easy to reach but there will be many tourists there. But I still like this place because the view is different from others location. It’s a must go in Hong Kong.

Our Uber dropped us right out the front. We arrived in the morning just before 9am before the shops were opening as to not bother store owners as I understood that photos are not particularly welcome and read about security and people being ‘kicked out’.

It is a trending place in Hong Kong for tourist to take pictures but there is nothing else other than taking a picture of the high rise flats. Kind of regret to go all the way to just take a picture. There are notices from the residents not to disturb them, so I do not recommend this place as a must visit place in HK.…
