Step onto the roof of this creative center and "artists' village" for a quintessentially Hong Kong panorama — jaw-dropping views of colorful, packed housing complexes that soar up towards the sky as far as the eye can see! No wonder this is a popular spot for photographers and locals alike.

This photo of the Pak Tin Estate apartments was taken from the rooftop of the Jockey Club Creative Arts Center. The stairs that lead to the open deck roof feature this slanted white wall that my model has perched on.
Please be aware that you can safely access the roof, but security monitors the slanted wall. If you or your model are caught going to that area, you'll be asked to leave.
