From secret dining rooms to high-flying experiences, these aren't your average Instagram hot spots. If you're into the finer things in life, these are the fanciest places in Hong Kong to flex on the 'gram

1. The Upper House

The Upper House is a kind of Hong Kong Mecca for influencers and Instagrammers, thanks to its sleek design by André Fu and sprawling sky-high views over Victoria Harbour to one side, and misty jungle views of Mid-Levels and The Peak behind. Request a corner table at Café Gray Deluxe, order one of their signature cocktails and get snap happy.

2. China Club

Technically, you're not allowed to take photos at this ultra-exclusive club, but that hasn't stopped many from flexing a night out at this chic destination founded by the late Sir David Tang, which is frequented by the city's most fabulous and fashionable circles. The most popular photo-opp spots? The iconic staircase and the library, of course.
