West District Public Cargo Depot AKA Instagram Pier
We begin at West District Public Cargo Depot, also known affectionately as Instagram Pier by Hong Kongers. Get your cameras out because you’ll be snapping tons of shots that are Instagram-worthy, and you’ll be walking away with pictures that will help you up your social media game. For those out that who want nothing to do with social media, we also hear you – the depot is still a great spot to watch the sun rise and set, and has a beautiful view of the sea.
This also make it to our list of best Instagram spots in Hong Kong.
