Yick Cheong Building

Hong Kong's Yick Cheong Building, famous as a 'Monster Building' and referred to as one of the twin pillars of 'Instagram sanctuaries' in Hong Kong (the other being Choi Hung Apartments), is renowned for its courtyard surrounded by buildings on all sides and the unobstructed view of the sky above. There was a time when tourists had to queue to take photos, but during my recent visit, it was comfortable to shoot as there were no crowds. On the first floor, there's an Arabica coffee shop for those looking to rest, and if you go down to the east corner basement, you'll find a neatly remodeled shopping area where you can grab a meal!
