[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Montane Mansion (Updated Apr)

#newyearnewtrip The Hong Kong Quarry Bay Monster Buildings are an overwhelming sight—towering, tightly packed structures that create a maze of cramped living spaces. While they make for stunning photography with their geometric patterns and vibrant colors, there’s an underlying sadness. The sheer compactness of the buildings made me reflect on the pressures of urban living and the human cost behind such beauty. 🕰️Business Hours: 24 hours 📍Address: Montane Mansion, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong #buildings #hongkong #quarrybay

#How to get there How to get there: Montane mansion, Transformer building Start from the area where many tourists stay Mong Kok Station - Yau Ma Tei Station - Tsim Sha Tsui Station Take the red line of the MTR 🔴 ➡️ The train will pass through Hong Kong Bay to Hong Kong Island. Then get off at Central Station, which is the last station on the red line, so there will be a lot of people. Then take Exit C to take the tram at the Pedder Street stop on Dec Voeux Road, Central. The fare is 3 HKD for the entire line. Let me tell you a little bit. To get on the tram, you have to cross to the middle of the road, where there will be 2 pairs of trams on opposite sides of the road. But the tram station is in the middle of the road. Emphasize that you must cross the crosswalk only when the traffic light is green for pedestrians because Hong Kong's traffic laws are very strict. When getting on, you may be confused about which side to get on or which tram to get on. Look for the sign for the tram going to Shau Kei Wan. Getting on the tram is easy. Get on from the back of the tram. The tram has seats on the lower and upper floors on the 2nd floor. You can go up to find a seat. When getting off, get off at the front door by paying with an octopus card or other methods that you have prepared. Before reaching Montane Mansion, I stopped at 2 places. 1. 🚏 Bank Street Bus Stop Stop to take a picture with the Legislative Council of Hong Kong building. The highlight is 2. 🚏 Luard Road Bus Stop Walk to Hopewell Centre Building The highlight is the glass elevator that goes up to the highest point, giving a beautiful view of Hong Kong. Then take the tram to see the city and relax. Arrive at 🚏 Mount Parker Road Bus Stop and walk to Montane Mansion. Another way to get to Montane Mansion is to take the blue line of the MTR 🔵 from Central Station to Quarry Bay Station and walk for about 500 meters. If you are in a hurry, I recommend taking the blue line. But if you can fit in the queue, I recommend taking the tram. It will come continuously. You will definitely arrive. #hongkong

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

Monster Mansion was also used in the filming of the movie. It takes about 5 minutes on foot from Tai Koo Station. There is a McDonald's and Sushiro nearby! lol Oh, I also saw ÆON lol There were many mini convenience stores and mini pharmacies selling Japanese snacks. There were many Japanese products sold inside the station, so it was very reassuring for Japanese people. People actually live in the apartments, and people are constantly coming and going. Therefore, tourists should take a quick photo and leave quickly 🤔 It's an old apartment, and it's scary.

Hong Kong's "Monster Mansion" is a huge housing complex, officially called "Yick Cheong Building", located in the Quarry Bay district of Hong Kong. This building consists of five residential towers, and was given the nickname "Monster Mansion" due to its overwhelming scale and density. It is sometimes used for filming movies and TV dramas, and became famous after appearing in the sci-fi movie "Transformers: Age of Extinction". ★Access MTR Tai Koo Station on the Island Line (Hong Kong Island) Exit B and walk 5 minutes to the left Tram 83E "Mount Parker Road" It's right in front of you When taking photos, we recommend a composition that looks up from below.

Quarry Bay is full of great locations where you can see the old style HK architecture mixed with new modern buildings. Image 1 - Montane Mansion, a very popular photo spot where you can take pictures surrounded by high vertical residential walls. Be mindful to not disturb the residents if possible! Image 2 & 5 - Pan Hoi st. - where you can view old HK signage mixed with very modern skyscraper behind. If you walk up and down the road there is lots of places to capture nice contrasting images of old and new architecture. Image 3 & 4 - capture the tram from the footbridge on Kings road, it faces the outside wall of Montane Mansion and the curve of the building makes for a nice backdrop in your photo! Walk up and down this road to capture different angles. You can get to Quarry Bay ok the MTR Island Line, or take the tram along kings road for a cheaper option! There’s a lot of local and western restaurants at Tai Koo Place - be sure to check them out! #Hongkong #photography #discoverhongkong #photospots #derryainsworth
