Stop 1
At 11:00 a.m., our friendly tour guide will meet you at Quarry Bay MTR station exit A (inside the concourse area). MONSTER BUILDING - a fantastic architecture in Quarry Bay consists of 5 connecting buildings that formed an E shaped architecture complex, centered around the courtyard. This giant architecture is a residential complex but the apartment units are small and you can best feel the density of the city when you stand in the courtyard. Each small patio is dotted with wet laundry hanging to dry, lounge chairs for sunning, and flowerpots and a common characteristic of local housing throughout Hong Kong. The facade of the building is rainbow colored, which also make this development more vibrant and lively, made it so popular among photographers for years and is gaining popularity with tourists as well. It has also become a popular filming location for Hollywood blockbusters and the most famous one is "Transformer IV"

Hop aboard our iconic Ding Ding tram and ride to the vibrant area of North Point. Along the way, we’ll visit CHUN YEUNG STREET WET MARKET —a classic local favorite where you can still feel everyday Hong Kong life, just as it’s always been. And here’s the fun part: you can’t believe it until you see it—this wet market sits on a narrow street where the tram actually runs right through!
