I've been flying since April 2017- while these are not necessarily permissable areas in Hong Kong, one can get away with it or at most get asked to leave.
- Victoria Gardens, at the very top of the Peak, way up past the commercial area. Sit on the wall down where the first garden is- very easy to see anyone approaching you.
- Pak Tsz Lane Park, in Central. I know this sounds crazy because it is in the middle of Central, but there are few people passing through and it affords a great shot by just going straight up and rotating.
- Big Wave Bay, go up above the beach to the BBQ and playground area. There are just a couple areas suitable for takeoff but if no one is around it works!
- Shek O, the private property with the store and BBQ area all the way to the right side of the beach, I bought a few things and asked if I could fly there and they allowed. Of course the beach public address system announced no drone flying but no one approached me.
- South Bay Beach, all the way to the left side of the beach, flew without anyone questioning it.
- Hong Kong Stadium entrance, at an off hour time few people around - top of the steps left side.
-
Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park
- Cyberport, you probably already know that though!
