Fok Cheong Façade (Transformer Building)

The featured image is of the Fok Cheong building’s Façade. I stood on King’s Rd facing west just before Yau Man Street. From here you’ll be able to capture the pedestrians walking across your frame. By MTR station: - Closest MTR Station: Tai Koo (Island Line) - Take Exit "B" - Turn left to King's Road Address: Fok Cheong Building, 1032-1044 King's Rd, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Fok Cheong building.

Visit in the late-afternoon through sunset when softer light shines across the building.

Keep an eye on the traffic! You’re photographing from the street.

A telephoto lens (97mm) creates a very nice effect to this perspective — it compresses the pedestrians, building and forested background. The building looks like a wall!

Be patient for an interesting subject to move into your frame — like a taxi or a flood of pedestrians walking across the street.

Check out the other side of the building for one of HK’s most popular Instagram spots! It’s famed for its densely stacked residences. Hollywood blockbusters like “Ghost in the Shell” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction” were filmed here.
