LiDAR and elevation data for Hong Kong

National open LiDAR Openly licensed LiDAR covers about 70% or more of the land area.

CEDD captured territory-wide airborne LiDAR in 2010 and 2020 and supplies it through its spatial data portal under the DATA.GOV.HK terms, which permit commercial reuse with attribution; the Lands Department also publishes a 5 m grid DTM.
