Best Photoshoot Locations in Hong Kong
Beach, City, Parks & Hidden Corners Across Hong Kong
In family photography the location is 20% of the photo.
Your family is 80%, the important part.
Planning a Hong Kong family photoshoot? The key is choosing a location that feels easy, relaxed, and close to home (or your hotel). That’s what allows natural, candid moments to happen.
These are some of the best locations for a family photoshoot in Hong Kong, whether you’re looking for beaches, parks, or city backdrops.
Stanley & Chung Hom Kok Beach (Southside Hong Kong)
One of the most versatile family photoshoot locations in Hong Kong.
Stanley offers a mix of:
Stanley Main Beach and promenade
Murray House and waterfront
Blake Pier and seaside paths
Stanley Market laneways
Chung Hom Kok Beach (quieter, more private)
This combination makes it ideal for family photography with kids and pets, with space to move and variety within a short distance.
Kowloon (Parks, Waterfront & Urban Locations)
Kowloon is one of the most underrated areas for a family photoshoot in Hong Kong, especially on weekday mornings. There is more to Kowloon than the annual trip to see The Nutcracker in TST!
Key locations include:
Kowloon Park (pavilions, greenery, open space, perfect for big family photoshoots)
Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) waterfront and harbour views
West Kowloon Cultural District (open skyline + space for kids)
Lingnan Garden (traditional architecture and symmetry)
Mong Kok backstreets (urban, high-energy)
For families staying on ‘The Dark Side’, this is often the easiest and most efficient option.
Repulse Bay & Deep Water Bay (Classic Hong Kong Beaches)
These are the most iconic beach family photoshoot locations in Hong Kong. It’s not just beach, there are a huge numbers of nooks & crannies.
Repulse Bay features:
Wide sandy beach
The Tin Hau Temple
Picturesque promenade over to DWB
Middle Island Beach (for RHKYC members)
Deep Water Bay offers:
A quieter, more local feel

Perfect for relaxed outdoor family photography, especially with younger kids.
Central & Mid-Levels | Star Ferry (Urban Hong Kong)
For families who want a more iconic Hong Kong city photoshoot, this area delivers.
Popular spots include:
Hong Kong Park (waterfalls, greenery, open space)
The Botanical Gardens (shade, paths, natural textures)
Hollywood Road and Man Mo Temple
Mid-Levels staircases and escalators
Ride the tram for a bit before getting on…

And I have a secret location or two as well
This works especially well for visiting families who want a strong Hong Kong identity in their photos.
At-Home Family Photography in Hong Kong
Often the best option, especially for younger kids and grandparents.
An at-home family photoshoot in Hong Kong offers:
No travel or time pressure
Familiar surroundings for toddlers and shy children
Easy inclusion of pets
A completely personal setting
These sessions are often the most natural and relaxed, kids are on their own turf so the tables are turned on the photographer! The photos we get at home are often impossible on location.
Sai Kung & New Territories (Nature & Open Space)
For something quieter and more expansive, the New Territories offer some of the best outdoor family photography locations in Hong Kong.
Key areas include:
Sai Kung waterfront and Lions Nature Education Centre
Clear Water Bay beaches and trails
Clearwater Bay Club & Beas River Country Club photos
Pak Tam Chung and surrounding countryside
Sha Tin (Penfold Park) & Tao Fong Shan (completely unique architecture)
Tai Po waterfront and parks
These locations are ideal for families who want space, nature, and a slower pace.
All locations work equally well for a family photo session — the light and the people are what matter. Just pick something close to home and put the energy into the family photography!
