Tamás Rizsavi risks his life climbing up Hong Kong skyscrapers to take incredible pictures

These are incredible pictures of Hong Kong, but come with a ‘don’t try this at home’ warning – because the photographer risked his life to take them.

Tamás Rizsavi, a Hungarian train driver, travelled to the city earlier this year with the sole purpose of capturing images of the urban landscape from the highest buildings he could find.

His series of photos show jaw-dropping views snapped from the rooftop edges of various skyscrapers, some of which were 50 storeys high. At the moment Hong Kong is associated with images of protesters battling riot police, but these images show how ethereal the city looks from a lofty vantage point.

Despite his risky approach to photography, Tamás, who has 112,000 fans on Facebook, says he never gets afraid. He told MailOnline Travel: ‘I went on top of at least five tall buildings in Hong Kong. When I was climbing, I was always in a hurry so I didn’t really pay attention to the height, but some buildings were surely above 50 storeys.

‘This is all about passion, adrenaline, and the love of photography. For me this is a holiday activity, just like fishing is for some people.’
