Up and Away: Aerial filming at Hong Kong’s Tai Tam Reservoir

After all the action in central Hong Kong over the last few weeks, we reckon an escape from the city is in order.

The world knows all about our bustling streets and soaring skyscrapers, but what about its undisturbed country parks and reservoirs? Although locals and tourists alike tend to flock towards crowded shopping malls on the weekends, some prefer the serenity of the Tai Tam Reservoir, one of Hong Kong’s best-kept secrets.

Equipped with only a DJI Phantom II Quadcopter Drone and a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition (apparently that’s not as fancy as it sounds), Bunker HK perfectly captures the rare pollution-free skies and marshmallow-like clouds of Hong Kong, showing the city in a vastly different perspective from the drone videos we’ve seen of late.

Look at the pretty reflections in the water, breathe in the green and relax!
