Monster Building
益昌大厦（怪兽大厦）
A cluster of densely packed E-shaped residential blocks in Quarry Bay that became famous after being featured in 'Transformers: Age of Extinction'. It is a striking image of high-density living in Hong Kong.
Yick Cheong Building is made up of five connected residential blocks, namely Yick Fat, Fook Cheong, Hoi Shan, Hoi King, and Yick Cheong. The blocks form a courtyard, and looking up reveals a dense mass of windows and clotheslines that creates an intensely striking view. The building was used as a filming location for 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' and has since become a popular photo spot. These are private residences, and the management prohibits commercial filming and the use of tripods. Please keep noise low and do not obstruct entrances or exits. Admission is free. It is about a three-minute walk from Exit A of Quarry Bay MTR station.
