Experience a modern version of Kowloon Walled City at Hong Kong's Monster Tower!

Introducing the extremely popular Hong Kong Instagram spot, Monster Building, Quarry Bay! This place is also known as the filming location for the movie Transformers 4, and is a symbol of the contrast between Hong Kong's old and new eras. You will be amazed at the overwhelming density of buildings. It is one of Hong Kong's distinctive landscapes and a popular destination for photography enthusiasts. It is located in North Point on the Island Line, and the sight of trams busily passing between the skyscrapers is overwhelming. You will experience a sense of oppression as if you are being swallowed by a monster. In fact, this building is not one, but an "E"-shaped group of five old buildings: Fook Cheung Building, Yi Cheung Building, Yi Fa Building, Hoi Shan Building, and Sea View Building. 📸 Photo spot: ✔️ From the waiting room at Bok Ka San Road Station, take a telephoto shot of a tram entering the station with Monster Building in the background ✔️ Take a telephoto shot of part of Monster Building to capture its density in an Instagram-style way ✔️ From the footbridge near Monster Building, take a bird's-eye view of the tram with the foreground of old Hong Kong shops in the background ✔️ A popular angle on Instagram is a wide-angle shot of the entire building from inside Monster Building 💡 Nearby tourist attractions: ▪️ North Point Healthy East Street (as charming as Kennedy Town) ▫️ ICAC Headquarters (a TVB classic) ▪️ View of Victoria Harbour from Bow Mountain (located on Harbour Island, direct bus 85) 🏠: Yi Cheung Building 📍: 1046 Royal Road, Eastern District, Hong Kong SAR 🚇: Quarry Station Exit A2/Tai Koo Station Exit B 🚃: Tram to Chuen Wu Ling Station 📷: Fuji XS10 + Canon 77D 200mm 🕤: Recommended to visit after 4pm, you can take night photos inside the building 🔔: Free entry and exit, feel free to take photos, but be careful not to disturb the residents #HongKongTrip #MonsterBuilding #HongKongPhotoSpot

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
