The Monster Building HK😊

One of Hong Kong’s most Instragrammable sites, known for its incredibly dense and stacked flats. Also known as the ‘Monster Building’ for its conglomeration of five incredibly dense and stacked residential complexes, Yik Cheong Building and Montane Mansion are possibly the most well-known locations in Quarry Bay and definitely one of the most Instagrammed spots in Hong Kong. A perfect reflection of city’s famed urban density, the photogenic architecture has been featured Hollywood blockbusters like Ghost in the Shell and Transformers: Age of Extinction☺️ #monsterbuilding #hongkong #hongkongtravel #exploresgtogether #tripblazers #mytripvlog

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
