Go by subway
The easiest way to get to Montane Mansion is by taking the subway (MRT). It takes about 30 minutes from Central Station to get to the nearest station, Tai Koo Station
Get out of Tai Koo station by Exit A and head left, you will be overwhelmed by thousands of modern high-rise apartments towering like a wall of Quarry Bay.




The scene outside the Tai Koo subway station. Step out of the station, you go left for about 200 meters to reach Montane Mansion, Yick Fat.
The first feeling is that quite a few people also carry Tripod here to take pictures. The building is easy to see from afar, but the best photo takes to go into its backyard, through a small market. On the outside it is easy to ignore. First-time passers can pass through twice without detecting the entrance gate.
Life "crowded land"
Montane Mansion was built in the 1960s, and this place shows the most clearly the life of "crowded land" of Port Thom with hundreds of small apartments like stacked boxes reaching tens of floors .




Standing in the middle of the 4 towering common yard, your first feeling is… looking up tired of your neck. Hong Kong people live in quite small apartments, so these apartments are not unfamiliar. High-rise apartments appear dense throughout this special area.
The difference of this place compared to other apartment buildings is the block color of green, red, yellow buildings and a cool green building in the center.
Modern high-rise buildings around the old apartment complex
Montane Mansion is surrounded between the surrounding giant modern blocks, quite old and has been tinged with the yellow color of time.
Across a small hallway into the building's public courtyard, a world of tranquility is in stark contrast to the familiar bustle and bustle of downtown Hong Kong. Here, silver-haired old men sit and play chess in the silence that is almost absolute.
Although many tourists come here to take pictures with the "so deep" designs, but all are orderly and quiet, respecting the living space of the people here.




If you walk at night when the lights are on all over the buildings, you will have another very good impression. To have beautiful pictures at Yick Fat Building, you have to be very hard to find the angle taken from the bottom up, aligning the light as best as possible.
Daily life at Montane Mansion
In addition to checking in and taking unique photos at Montane Mansion, visitors can also walk around the neighborhood, learn about everyday life and enjoy familiar street foods like custard cakes, tofu, ginseng juice, herbal chicken eggs ... with surprisingly low prices.
This is truly an experience like a local, not a tourist. Hong Kong still has many places to explore, you should try once to go to the "off-the-beaten-track" (roughly translated: remote place).
