Hong Kong's MONSTER Building!

Location: Quarry Bay, Hong Kong island Getting there: Take the subway to Quarry Bay MTR and get off at exit A. Search Monster Building on maps and you will get directions...but it's only 5 minutes walking from the exit. The Monster Building aka: Yick Cheong Buildings, offers wonderful photograph opportunities...you just need to look up! There are around 10,000 living here and it's an area consisting of five buildings so close together it gives a unique perspective. #hongkong #monsterbuilding

Explore the Urban Jungle at Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Step into Hong Kong’s most iconic “living maze”—Monster Building. 📸 This residential complex is famed for its dramatic, stacked architecture, loved by photographers and film crews seeking gritty city vibes. The vibe here is ultra-local, with daily life playing out above and around you. Start your adventure right after hopping off the Quarry Bay MTR—Monster Building is just steps away! Wander through the open-air courtyard for the classic upward shot of towering flats (top insta-angle: stand in the center and look straight up for max impact). The best light hits around late afternoon, but early mornings offer fewer crowds for those pure, geometric shots. Must-do: Snap the classic “canyon” shot, then soak in the hum of local life as you grab a quick snack from the ground-floor shops. Resist the urge to shout or play music; you’re in a real residential zone. There’s zero signage, so use Google Maps to navigate and tread lightly—smile, greet residents with a nod, and give priority to locals. Venture quietly, avoid blocking walkways, and respect privacy (no directly aiming your camera at apartment windows). Practical tips: No entrance fee, open year-round, but public restrooms are limited—plan accordingly. Stay alert for moderate crowds, and keep noise to a minimum so residents remain happy to share this iconic spot. #HongKong #Cityscape #TravelTips #MonsterBuilding #UrbanExplorer
