Hengshan Moller Villa Hotel

This drone image was taken of the Hengshan Moller Villa Hotel in Shanghai. To launch your drone from the property of the hotel, you must be a staying there. I recommend launching from across the street (Shaanxi Road) on the lawn directly west of the entrance to the Children's Art Theatre of China Welfare Institute to get the same perspective without trespassing on private grounds.

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Hengshan Moller Villa Hotel.

Visit this place at night to capture the illuminated purple lights against the architecture.

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.

I faced the front of the property, but you can also experiment and get different angles. There aren't many European-style hotels in the area so take advantage of capturing the architecture.

For a balanced image, I recommend centering the villa in your shot. Try to incorporate some of the other building architecture in the background.

This area of Shanghai has many museums, restaurants and bars, so make sure to walk around before, or after, you photograph.

If you want to try something other than eastern food, there's a western steakhouse called Pinnacle Peak that's across the street from the hotel.
