The Essence of Hong Kong Locals... Yick Cheong Building.

Yick Cheong Building represents a unique architectural style that has developed due to Hong Kong's extremely limited housing space and high population density. Located in the Quarry Bay area of Hong Kong, these buildings are called the 'Monster Building' overseas because their form resembles that of a gigantic monster. The Monster Building is characterized by its vertically extensive height and the narrow spaces between buildings, creating a sort of urban maze. These buildings are mainly used for residential and office spaces, and have become one of the key elements in forming Hong Kong's distinctive urban landscape.
