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.
