The Haishan Building Monster Building is a must-shoot IG hotspot for many tourists visiting Hong Kong. This old mixed-use residential and commercial apartment complex, consisting of five buildings forming a square structure, is called the Monster Building due to its spectacular density. Now, Taiwan also has a similar landscape, located in Guomao Community, Zuoying, Kaohsiung. The dense and expansive buildings give the illusion of being in Hong Kong.

Guomao Community, also known as Bihai Xin?, consists of 13 buildings, reconstructed from a decades-old naval dependents’ village. To accommodate the large residential population, it was specially designed as an onion-like concentric circle community. Two semi-circular buildings encircle a circle, creating a unique visual aesthetic. The area is fully equipped with markets, restaurants, and other amenities, offering very complete living functions.
