Ik Cheong Building, where you can truly feel the retro sensibility of Hong Kong

• Epic urban icon in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong Island – a massive E-shaped complex of five 1960s residential buildings (Yick Cheong/Fat) stacked like a “monster,” home to over 10,000 people with colorful balconies and courtyards for that dystopian photo vibe!    😍
• Easy access: Walk from Tai Koo MTR (Exit A), on King’s Road – free entry, but it’s residential so no fee; quick taxi from Central (20-30 min).
• Pro tip: Visit early morning or weekdays to dodge crowds and respect locals (no loud filming in courtyards); best for street-level shots, avoid rainy days for slippery spots.
• Safety first: Busy area, watch for residents – not ideal for kids due to crowds; stay on public paths to avoid privacy issues.
• Pair with nearby: Tai Koo Shing mall eats or a hike to nearby viewpoints for a full urban adventure day!
