This image is of the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) on Lantau Island, with South China Sea in the background. I flew my drone from the open space at Ngong Ping Piazza.
You can take a ferry to Mui Wo from Central, then Bus No 2 from the Mui Wo Ferry Pier. A more exciting route would be to take the Ngong Ping Cable Car from Tung Chung MTR station. Tickets aren't cheap, but you'll get incredible views of the island along the way. Consider doing a one-way up, and then walk down to the Mui Wo ferry pier while enjoying the beautiful natural environment.
