Central Overhead Bridge view of Queens Rd Central & Jubilee St

This bird's eye photo of a crosswalk was taken from the Central Overhead Bridge, a footbridge diagonally linking Queens Rd Central & Jubilee St. To get here, take the bus to Pottinger Street; Des Voeux Road Entral and then reference the GPS coordinates to get to the bridge that's over the street crossing.

The Central Overhead Bridge view of Queens Rd Central and Jubilee Street can be photographed during any month of the year.

As long as the weather permits, morning, midday and late afternoon should provide similar lighting conditions.

Be patient! This is a very busy area of Hong Kong, so I recommend setting up your shot and then waiting patiently for the perfect pedestrian to pass into frame. Try to capture someone wearing bright colors, so they really pop against the asphalt and the yellow paint.

Try snapping a few photos rapid fire. You can always retouch out any unwanted people from your frame or you can composite two photos together to combine scenes, which will give you a better chance of getting the shot you're looking for.

Although the asphalt lines and paint are naturally uneven, try to find one straight line and align your image to that. This will help ground the photo and will look cleaner and more precise.

If you like people watching in city scenes, it's worth it to explore the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, which are a series of raised moving walkways and bridges that traverses across 2,600 feet of steep hillside. They're the largest outdoor covered escalator system in the world and The Hillside Entrance is just steps from this location.
