Yick Cheong Building, Dense residential complex in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong.
The Monster Building combines five interconnected structures reaching 18 floors with 2,243 residential units housing approximately 10,000 residents in total.
Constructed during the 1960s housing crisis, the complex originally named Parker Estate was divided into separate buildings including Yick Cheong, Montane Mansion, and Oceanic Mansion in 1972.
The building gained international recognition through photography exhibitions and served as a filming location for major productions including Transformers and Ghost in the Shell.
The ground floor contains shops selling groceries and tea, while the residential units measure between 180 and 487 square feet with current prices ranging from 2.57 to 4.39 million HKD.
The E-shaped architectural configuration creates a dense vertical arrangement of apartments, reflecting the concentrated urban development patterns of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong combines eastern and western cultures. The city displays modern skyscrapers, temples, restaurants, and street markets. The contrast between tradition and modernity shapes its urban landscape.
Hong Kong contains multiple observation points that reveal the urban landscape. From Victoria Peak at 552 meters to sea-level perspectives along Victoria Harbour, each location presents different angles of the city. Mountain summits, building observatories, and coastal paths allow visitors to see the dense architecture, surrounding waters, and natural terrain. The network includes historic structures like the 1847 Man Mo Temple and modern facilities such as the Sky100 deck at 393 meters elevation.
