香港 － 圓筒形的公共屋村
勵德邨，是香港唯一的圓柱體形公共屋村。
一出天后地鐵站，老遠已經看得見勵德邨圓圓的外型；不過最想看的，是它天井內那些無盡的圓形。要拍到天井，就必須要闖進村內看過究竟；但由於勵德邨始終屬住宅區，要進內拍照有難度，要尾隨著居民們偷偷走進去。
一般拍照熱點有兩個：頂樓和地下。
頂樓往下看就有從天空看進井底的感覺，偶爾看到居民們出出入入，彷彿我也是其中一份子。地下往上拍就有背光的問題，而且能夠看見整個天井的位置，就正正在地下電梯大堂旁邊，隨時有管理員走來趕你走。不過，拍出來真的很有感覺，看到照片后就覺得值了。

Hong Kong – Lai Tak Tsuen – Public Housing
Lai Tak Tsuen is the one and only public housing that employed a byclindrical design in Hong Kong. The housing estate was an award-winning design in the 1970s.
Lai Tak Tsuen consists of 3 main buildings (completed by 8 blocks). Built in two phrases, Tsuen Wing Lau was completed in the first in May 1975, Lai Kit Lau and Tak Chuen Lau in the second phrase in 1976. The name of the public housing Lai-Tak-Tsuen comes from the first word of the names of the 3 buildings.
Due to the unique architectural design, numerous TV commercials and movies were filmed here such as: The Hong Kong Government Public Hygiene Campaign (2009), Coca Cola commercial (2006), or the movie Dumplings (2004) directed by Fruit Chan.
P.S. Afternoon is the best time to visit this housing estate. Go in a group of maximum 2-3 people, keep it quiet and low key, don’t flash your cameras around. Try not to disturb the life of the habitants.
