Yick Cheong Building, King's Rd, Quarry Bay
Five interconnected residential towers whose dense courtyard became a global photography icon and Hollywood film set.
This guide to the Yick Cheong Building in Quarry Bay traces how a French photographer's straight-up shot of this concrete courtyard went viral in 2013 and turned five ordinary 1960s apartment blocks into one of Asia's most photographed spots. It follows the roughly ten thousand residents who still live here, and the Hollywood productions that later filmed chase scenes in their courtyard.
