Monster Building

#fallingseason This is the building for residential housing in the old Hong Kong where people live in a complex area. It represents the image of Hong Kong where everything are small due to high density of population. The unique structure of the building has attracted thousands of visitors to feel the atmosphere surrounded by the buildings. The unique design also represents an image of general Hong Kong style structure back in the 60s and 70s. The appearance might look old but the shops at the ground of the building show the modernisation of Hong Kong where you would find a popular cafe to enjoy coffee and snacks.

Amazing architecture - Monster Building

The monster building is truly one of a kind. The design is simple but yet interesting and beautiful. The building is a little outdated and needs a lot of repairs but I think that's what makes the monster building so remarkable. One can capture so many great pictures for your moments and you can easily spend more than an half hour just staring and adoring the design of the building. Definitely a must see attraction when visiting Hong Kong. The metro (Quarry Bay) station is also not that far, you can walk to the site and back to the metro again or you can choose to spend some time in the area because it's really interesting and there are lots to do in the area. #monsterbuilding #hongkong

The Monster Building is also known as Giant Building. Consisting of five buildings, it is built in the shape of the letter E. This is a favorite spot among photography enthusiasts. The densely-packed buildings here have developed into the famous concrete jungle of Hong Kong. This is not a public place, so try to not disturb the residents while you take photos.

Hong Kong is a huge metropolis that you can easily get lost in. Towering buildings, narrow alleyways and busy streets are what make this place so unique.

With an iconic skyline and so many incredible photo opportunities, Hong Kong is absolutely high on our list for most Instagrammable place. There’s Victoria Peak for an amazing panoramic view with the entire skyline of Hong Kong, the incredibly dense and stacked residential complexes of Quarry Bay being featured in lots of movies and being Hong Kong’s most famous Instagram spot of all, Choi Hung Estate known for it’s basketball rainbow field, and so many more you can’t miss!

Quarry Bay has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and offers a glimpse as to the meaning of the sheer density of the city.

Hong Kong is a city we always love to revisit! There is always something new to explore every single time - new restaurants, viewpoints, … it never gets boring

The fantasy space between Quarry Bay "Haishan Building" and "Fuchang Building"! 5 building, seamount, seascape, Yichang, Yifa, Fuchang, the sky is framed into a rectangle, the vertical space is closely arranged with each floor of the balcony, air conditioning and drying racks... ... The movie "Variation King Kong 4" makes this ordinary residential and residential building that was originally ordinary to use a fire! So, countless tourists made a special trip to punch in! In the eyes of the local residents of Quarry Bay, this is just a community that can provide people with a good living and a cheap living service. Many young Hong Kong people are growing up here. ..... The influx of a large number of tourists, also let them feel the charm of the net red card! There are more than 2,200 units in the four-story high-rise buildings. According to the calculation of 4-5 people per unit, the maximum occupancy is 10,000 people. The population density is so high, it is also a unique Hong Kong-style feature! When the weather is good, the blue light before sunset can be very beautiful! The rain we went to the day has been going on, okay, then find a rainbow umbrella prop to make up for it! Transportation: MTR will do Taikoo Station, Exit B will turn left, and two traffic lights will arrive!

The Monster Building, now Hong Kong's very hot net red card, because "Transformers 4" is hot here, but in fact, from the building itself, it is worthy of our respect. Standing in the middle of the patio, looking up, a beauty full of urgency and pressure is quite shocking! The entire monster building is actually composed of five buildings: Fuchang Building, Yichang Building, Yifa Building, Haishan Building and Haidian Building. The five buildings form an E-shape. Whether it is aerial photography or up-and-shooting, it is quite shocking.

As the typical hot spots in Hong Kong have gone almost the same, I gradually began to look for some newly discovered small attractions. The Quarry Bay is located in the area to the east of the North Point at the foot of Mount Berd in the Eastern District of Hong Kong. Quarry Bay used to be mainly industrial and residential, but more and more commercial buildings have emerged over the past two decades. In fact, Quarry Bay is like an old-fashioned residential building in Hong Kong. It is just that this piece of Hong Kong has a particularly strong taste and is particularly typical. The most famous landscape of Quarry Bay is the Giant Building. It consists of Fu Cheong House, Yi Che House, Yi Fat House, Hai Shan House and Sea View Building. It is surrounded by a very regular rectangle. Friends who have seen "Transformers 4" should have a feeling of deja vu, yes, this is one of the locations in Hong Kong. On the platform in the middle of several buildings, looking up and looking up, there is a blue sky in the densely populated houses, which can feel the dense population of Hong Kong. In fact, in addition to "Transformers", there are many Hong Kong dramas and movies have been framing here, so the residents here have been strange to visitors. However, for tourists, we still try to keep quiet, do not affect the lives of residents. ~ Then let's talk about how to find the monster building (the giant building). After the subway quarry comes out, you can see a flyover. After crossing the overpass, look for this tall green building, walk along a small road to the front of the building, you will see a staircase, up the stairs to the platform to reach the center of the giant building.

The monster building , which has long been one of Hong Kong's new generation of popular red card building buildings, is actually just the same distance in the middle of the three buildings and the other side has become the English letter E/hh. / Relative living standards of residents living with this are significantly lower than the average citizen they dumped used waste water and air conditioning water from the height of the balcony is low like a sultry Hong Kong here is always raining And there are still tourists who come to take a tripod camera and head and look up at the sky listen to "rain sound" but no "rain point"

Three dollars of happiness on the streets of Hong Kong!

In the high-priced Hong Kong, to experience the joy in the swaying of the Ding Ding tram on King's Road, it only costs three dollars! With three dollars, you can travel from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, slowly enjoying the scenery along the way. I started from the Bank Street at Central's Exchange Square, following the Ding Ding tram eastward, witnessing a Hong Kong filled with the smoke and fire of life: there are the dignified entrances and exits of the CBD's white-collar workers, as well as the old shops standing in rows, the bustling buses, and the working people of the harbor... Until getting off at Wai On Estate on King's Road, in search of the Monster Building, the filming location for 'Transformers': a combination of a typical Hong Kong street market and surrounding buildings, consisting of the Fuk Cheong Building, Yick Cheong Building, Yick Fat Building, Oceanic Building, and Sea View Building, forming an E-shaped space, a microcosm of Hong Kong's great fusion of life. Hong Kong is known for its dense and oppressive living conditions due to its large population and small land area, and this Monster Building epitomizes these characteristics to the extreme. The scene of the Ding Ding tram passing by the skyscrapers is like entering an old movie. On the way back, walk towards Quarry Bay, browse the vegetable market, and experience the daily life of the locals. If you get tired of walking, you can take the Ding Ding tram again to Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, or Admiralty, stroll through the malls, and taste the local cuisine, which is truly a fireworks enjoyment. 🌈Highlight: Ding Ding tram, the cheapest sightseeing transport in Hong Kong 🚗Address & Transportation: King's Road, the main section of the Ding Ding tram from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. Monster Building, located on the south side of King's Road on Hong Kong Island, between the MTR Quarry Bay Station and Tai Koo Station, it is recommended to take the Ding Ding tram. Hong Kong Tramways Ding Ding Tram ✨Tips: The Monster Building is actually just a densely populated old residential area, famous because of the movie 'Transformers'. It is located near Wai On Estate on King's Road, and you can see it by entering through the door next to a bakery called 'Ho Hei Bun Shop'. It's a private place, keep quiet, and do not disturb the residents' lives.

Hong Kong: Monster Building Marvel 👀🇭🇰

I stumbled upon Quarry Bay's Monster Building during a spur-of-the-moment visit, thanks to my adventurous friends who insisted we explore it before our flight. And oh boy, am I glad we did! Navigating our way through the bustling streets, we finally arrived at this architectural wonder after a short walk from the MTR station. A friendly local noticed our curious gazes and kindly directed us to the stairs leading to the building's entrance. Standing before the imposing yet captivating structure, we couldn't resist snapping some photos like many others who were also there. It's worth noting that while the Monster Building is a must-see, it's still private property. So, remember to be respectful, keep noise to a minimum, and adhere to the rules posted, including no drones allowed. Visiting this unique landmark was truly an unforgettable experience, adding another layer of wonder to my Hong Kong adventure. Make sure to add it to your itinerary and soak in the marvel of the Monster Building! #QuarryBayMarvel #HongKongHiddenGem #MonsterBuildingDiscovery #quarrybay #hk

Go to Hong Kong, go to Monster Building, go to climb Victoria Peak, go to citywalk

Hong Kong has been visited many times, but this time it's particularly different. It was overcast, and for a continuous week, the top of Victoria Peak was mostly shrouded in thick fog, visibility was super low, just to take a few photos, I climbed the mountain for five consecutive days and I admire myself for that, but fortunately, I managed to take some quite satisfying photos (picture six) The spot requires climbing a small hill on the walking trail side. For Monster Building, those shots they took of the super tall buildings are photoshopped, shooting from a low angle, the building is only this tall. If anyone has any good shooting spots to share, feel free to do so, and welcome to discuss in the comments section

The Essence of Hong Kong Locals... Yick Cheong Building.

Yick Cheong Building represents a unique architectural style that has developed due to Hong Kong's extremely limited housing space and high population density. Located in the Quarry Bay area of Hong Kong, these buildings are called the 'Monster Building' overseas because their form resembles that of a gigantic monster. The Monster Building is characterized by its vertically extensive height and the narrow spaces between buildings, creating a sort of urban maze. These buildings are mainly used for residential and office spaces, and have become one of the key elements in forming Hong Kong's distinctive urban landscape.
