鰂魚涌五厦 — Attraction in Hong Kong

This Monster Building, officially known as the Yik Cheong Building, has gained international fame for its distinctive architectural style and captivating visual appeal.

Located in Quarry Bay on Hong Kong Island, this residential complex consists of five interconnected buildings, forming a massive structure that dominates the surrounding skyline. Its nickname, the "Monster Building," derives from the imposing and labyrinthine appearance created by the dense arrangement of the buildings.
