This aerial photo of Hong Kong was taken from Lugard Road Lookout, a lookout along a popular walking path on Victoria Peak, which is a part of Hong Kong Trail. To get here, take a taxi or public transportation up to The Peak.
From The Peak Galleria, walk down Lugard Road heading west. Follow the pedestrian road for 20 minutes until you reach an opening that overlooks the cityscape. You can launch your drone from here, flying it out north over the city, in between Mid-Levels and Central.
