General BASE

Shortcut
Hong Kong
Although im not a jumper yet i am hoping to in the next few years. I am sat in a hotel room in HK and there are some pretty big buildings around. Some i imagine have fairly easy access to the roof, like the hotel i am in, 41 floors with a roof top pool and not a very large rail, with a nice wide road next to it.

A quick google tells me 272 skyscrapers over 492ft, 52 over 656ft the tallest being 1588ft (118 storeys). I can also see a number of skyscrapers that are under construction.

Are there any locals? Does anyone ever come here for some building fun and try and replicate Lara?

justt curious

Re: [rasher] Hong Kong
HK has some awesome skyscrapers and IIRC some cliffs that would likely be jumpable (been 4 years or so since I was there last) but the Chinese cops dont fuck around! I would definitely not want to risk getting caught up in the ChiCom "justice" system, even if it is in the HK Special Administrative Region....
Edit to add I bet it would be awesome fun to jump one of those bamboo scaffolds they put up around the skyscrapers that are under construction...

Hey, would you elaborate more on the cliffs subject pls. I assume they are legal, not like buildings?

Have you guys ever heard of this really cool invention called "google"? It took me about 2mins using very innovative search terms like "hong kong cliff" to find out for example the following pictures and related links with location of the place :

Not sure if that´s doable but looks like it might be worth to take a look. Also could be some other ones in the region but should get you started...

Re: [maretus] Hong Kong
thanks for enlightening us, you are a very smart person indeed.
Unfortunately these do not look jumpable to me, moreover, I did some research before asking my question here - one of the links you provided displays Suicide cliff, and if you spent more time on your research instead of showing off your IT knowledge, you would probably see some drone footage of it, by which you could judge more accurately.
Anyway, my inquiry remains the same for those who can share the real info -any legal jumpable cliffs around HKG? Anyone?
Thank you

some call base suicide....

That said, 25 m is doable if you have a steep talus below that. I should not just rule out everything.
