Stunning photos of the intense fog taking over Hong Kong’s skyline

Andy Yeung

Hong Kong has a pretty amazing skyline, especially at night. When the fog rolls in, it transforms the city.

Photographer Andy Yeung captured the fog from an unbelievable angle, showing a wild new perspective.

“There is just something about Hong Kong that leaves me feeling energized,” Yeung told Business Insider. “I’ve seen a lot of amazing fog-themed photographs taken in the day time and I thought it would be interesting to capture Hong Kong in the thick mist in the night time”

Ahead, see intense drone photos of the fog over the skyline of Hong Kong.

Yeung took all of the photos from the ground with the DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone.

“What I like most about working with drones is that we can see things we normally don’t have access to,” Yeung said. “Plus, drones add a layer between traditional aerial pictures and ground pictures, making the creative process more interesting.”

Yeung titled the series “Urban Fog” to represent how fog is lit up by the bright lights of the skyline.

“Hong Kong has long been a city of bright lights and you can see the various colored lights of the buildings light up the fog from underneath,” he said.

Yeung photographed this series during the “fog season” which is typically from February to April in Hong Kong. Fog occurs during these months because of a humid maritime airstream that affects the south China coastal areas.

Using his drone, he photographed all of the photos from the Peak, the highest point in Hong Kong.

“There is just something about Hong Kong that leaves me feeling energized,” Yeung said. “What I like about the city is the fact that when you keep the old but add something new, the place doesn’t look odd at all. Instead, it gives the city a unique character.”
