It gets going after about five minutes.
In China ATC is paramount. Talk to them nicely and give a good reason and they will clear you down to 30 metres in a major city, sometimes even without a good reason. One of my first jobs when I first flew there was to take photographs of some historic building in downtown Shenzhen buried in a forest of high rises and for that I was cleared to 30 metres. That called for some weaving down the streets to get some good shots plus another 30 minutes of legalised hooliganism
When you are flying directly at a glass office building with all your lights on and see your reflection coming towards you it can be quite fulfilling.
Unfortunately it was to a maniac on 9/11 too.
