Monster Building

💟💟 The Monster Building in Hong Kong, as a filming location for Transformers, indeed presents a more stunning view on camera than what the naked eye can see, with its highly dense residential structure that can only be deeply appreciated in Hong Kong. However, there are no airplanes flying over it, ❤️❤️ To visit the Monster Building, you can take the subway or bus, but it's recommended to experience the joy of a three Hong Kong dollar ride!

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

Hong Kong's 1960s architecture, the filming location for Transformers, 'Monster Building' Hong Kong street view. Yick Cheong Building, also known as the Monster Building, is a complex of buildings located between Quarry Bay and Tai Koo on Hong Kong Island, consisting of five blocks. It was once a filming location for the movie 'Transformers 4', famous for its cramped spatial feel. The building can offer unexpected views when seen from different angles and in different weather conditions, and I hope you will like this collection of photos. The Monster Building is a complex formed by five buildings arranged in an E-shape, which gained fame as a filming location for 'Transformers'. Its massive structure and the dense appearance from the outside have led people to call it the 'Monster Building', where you can completely find the taste of old Hong Kong from the 60s. The densely packed high-rises present a stunning, mysterious, and oppressive feel, with the pressure of living in a place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold. TIPS: 100 meters to the left from Exit B of Tai Koo Station, the best time for photography: 6-7 pm in the evening.

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 dense skyscrapers, the endless stream of people and vehicles... I just love the street scenes of Hong Kong, it's like stepping into a Hong Kong movie. Wandering the streets, I captured more than just these images. Here's a must-shoot list of spots 📷, highly recommended to save!! - 1. Kennedy Town There are many streets leading to the sea, but the place where you can see the TVB minibus, the Ding Ding tram🚎, and the sunset seascape at the same time is here. Take the subway🚇 to Kennedy Town station exit C, look through the basketball court's chain-link fence, and even if many people have taken photos here, you have to get your own shot 📷. - 2. Monster Building 🚇Island Line Quarry Bay 🧭Search for 'Monster Building' or Yick Cheong Building. The residential buildings here are very Hong Kong, surrounded by skyscrapers, giving a 3D magical world feeling～ - 3. North Point Fire Station I regret not bringing an ultra-wide-angle lens. The pink checkerboard buildings and the red taxis are very eye-catching on the street, and it's that kind of comfort that satisfies my OCD!! - 4. Arsenal Street The Ding Ding tram and the mix of old and new architecture, just stand on the overpass and you can easily take great photos 📷. The characters on the road, full of Hong Kong style～ - 5. Sai Ying Pun Street The church on the hillside⛪️, on an overpass in Sai Ying Pun, walking through several blocks all the way, it's great for taking photos. Both looking down the slope and looking up are perfect for shots 📷.

|After visiting this spot on Hong Kong Island, I feel so energized. Took advantage of the free tram rides on the 71st to tour Hong Kong Island again A place with the charm of an old town and the prosperity of a commercial district The entire Hong Kong Island line complements the cityscape and distinctive neighborhoods Having been here dozens of times, I still can't quite explain why it gives me such a boost (Maybe I just really like taking photos, or perhaps photography brings back a lot of memories of things and events) The classic Hong Kong Island line is also great for solo trips~ . 🚎 Tram: Shau Kei Wan ↔️ Kennedy Town/Sheung Wan/Happy Valley Pak Ka Shan Road Station (Tai Koo) → Healthy East Street Station (Quarry Bay) → North Point Road Station (North Point) → West Side Street Station (Sai Ying Pun) → Hill Road Station (The University of Hong Kong) → Kennedy Town Station . 🚇 MTR: Island Line Tai Koo → Quarry Bay → North Point → Sai Ying Pun → The University of Hong Kong → Kennedy Town ‼️No matter which mode of transportation you choose, as long as you have enough time, it's very suitable—pick the one you like and find convenient . 📸 Photo spots: 📍Monster Building (🚇Tai Koo Station B) A filming location for 'Transformers 4'. The dense buildings are characteristic of old Hong Kong, and the sight is spectacular! Composed of five buildings forming an 'E' shape, housing tens of thousands of residents, it's recommended to go inside for an even more impressive view (entrance at Hoi Shan Building) 📍Healthy East Street (🚇Quarry Bay C) The end of the road leads to the sea, and this spot is where those viral photos are taken. It looks much better with good weather and sunlight. Take photos from the slope looking down the road (a smartphone won't do, a telephoto lens is recommended 😂) 📍Chun Yeung Street Market (🚇North Point B1) A bustling market in the midst of the city, full of life and local atmosphere. You can find the most authentic Hong Kong vibe here. Next to it is the North Point tram terminus, where 🚎 trams shuttle above the market, creating a unique cityscape.

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.
