Instagram Pier in Hong Kong – A Perfect Backdrop for Any Occassion

The Western District Public Cargo Working Area isn’t a very romantic sounding place, but swing by here at any given sunset, and you’ll likely feel the buzz of romance in the air!

It’s also spectacularly calm and soothing early in the morning. You’ll just have to make it out there before everyone else in Kennedy Town (K Town) is awake!

Against the myriad industrial backdrops that Instagram Pier in Hong Kong provides, you’ll see people posing for engagement photos, wedding photos, selfies, and just about anything else you can imagine one doing with a camera at a spectacularly beautiful place. With so many kids now making Instagram posts, believe it or not, some people out there might want to buy Instagram likes to get their posts above the rest!

There are also countless fascinating urban backdrops.

Of course, if the weather is nice, you’ll encounter a number of older men and women trying their hand at catching a fish or two.

If you’re planning to head to Instagram pier in Hong Kong to enjoy the sunset, you’ll have to make sure not to get in the way of the many people who like to use this precious open space for running, biking, yoga and simply catching a breath of fresh air.

You’ll also have to make sure you don’t accidentally photo bomb anyone.

Night time at the pier also makes for some stunning scenes.

If you’re looking for a nostalgic childhood memory, have a go at chasing the pigeons.  We don’t think they really mind.

Early morning at the pier is calm, peaceful and usually void of many people!
