If you appreciate a little adventure and enjoy the process of discovering your location, this is the place! After all, it’s about the journey, ya? As a cityscape photographer I love vast views of the city, but I also love the details. Here you can observe the roman digits on the clock, and if you’re lucky, see people working through office windows. Heighten your senses and you might capture more than what you intend to.

How to get there

This photograph is taken from the 8th floor of the Hong Leong Building carpark and is of the Lau Pa Sat Clock Tower
It is a commercial building, so to avoid suspicion, enter a corridor between KPMG and Watsons convenience store and take the door on the left up the stairs to level 8. If it’s locked (typically on weekends or after hours), you can enter via the carpark entrance gate on Telegraph St – walk up the ramp until you see the lift (or drive all the way up).
From the lift, exit right through the double doors, turn right, and turn right again to walk towards the south side of the building. You should have a clear view of the clock tower!
