Travelling through the local gems in Hong Kong

We had a three-nights two-days trip in Hong Kong. It’s not our first time here so We mostly visited some places we didn’t go previously or felt revisiting. The night view at Victoria Harbour always worths to go. The K11 is very trendy and the Hong Kong Culture Centre has some great exhibition to enjoy. Our friend also took us to some local food gem, e.g., 佳佳甜品 (KaiKai Dessert) and 北京水饺 (Beijing Dumpling Shop), which are both worthwhile to go. In the Hong Kong Island, we spend more than half day in the Central area, taking the 中环半山扶手电梯,and visiting 大馆、文武庙 and 中环砵典乍街。The monster building is a popular place to go. Our friend also took us to the 大坑火龙文化馆,which is a neighbourhood blended with history and modern cult. Near the Dragon Cultural Centre, we had a meal at a popular local tea house, 炳记茶档,which is often featured in local TV dramas. The area with the Blue building, Yellow building and Orange building speaks great stories of the local history and culture as well.

Monster Building

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
