Yik Cheong Building
Known for its industrial and residential complexes, Quarry Bay is an ideal spot to capture Hong Kong’s famed urban density. Yik Cheong Building and Montane Mansion are the most well-known locations and have even featured in movies like Ghost in the Shell and Transformers: Age of Extinction. So popular is this spot that a sign has now been erected stating visitors should ask for permission before taking photos, but it has done little to deter the many happy snappers.
