READY, JETTY, GO

GRACE BAUDY, our featured photograph­er, goes hunting for Hong Kong’s most-snapped mini pier

-

IT’S MORE OF a swimming shed, but it's been photograph­ed so often it's earned itself the nickname Instagram Pier. “It's supposedly one of the rarest ones remaining in Hong Kong, dating back to the 1950s,” Grace tells #legend. Armed with her camera, she took the MTR to Kennedy Town, then a short minibus ride (number 58) to the location. “I had to shout to the driver as I approached my stop, nearly missing it as there wasn't any clear indication, just a white sign in Chinese – and I can't read Chinese, unfortunat­ely,” she recalls. A long flight of stairs takes you down to a green swimming shed, where you'll see the now-iconic jetty. A few mosquito bites sustained, sure – but overall, a worthwhile expedition.
