Chungking Mansions is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. The location is very good. It has a dense number of cheap hotels, shops, restaurants and other service industries. As a result, it gathers businessmen, laborers and backpackers from all over the world. It is very globalized.
For most tourists, they know this building because of Wong Kar-wai’s movie ‘Chungking Express’. Chungking Mansions is a building connected by five 17-story buildings. It was built in 1961. The environment is mixed and is often compared with Kowloon Walled City. In 1994, film director Wong Kar-wai was attracted by the chaotic, complex, mysterious and diverse atmosphere here and filmed the movie ‘Chungking Express’. Before this well-known movie, Chungking Mansions was famous for its chaotic public security. Hong Kong locals were also quite apprehensive about such an environment. After rectification after 2000, the situation has slightly improved, but the people coming in and out are still mixed, and there are even more than 120 nationalities. Open all year round and open 24 hours a day.Related posts:
