A place with a storied history of drugs, prostitution, and other unsavory aspects of society. A place where immigrants and backpackers share tiny rooms, no bigger than the spaces within the old Walled City. Only in thoroughly reading reviews could it be ascertained that many of these hotels are in this huge, slightly dangerous building. When I was trying to figure out where to stay in HK I kept finding these ridiculously cheap hotels that made no mention of Chungking Mansions. When traveling alone I don’t require fancy accommodations so usually a clean, inexpensive guest house will do. The infamous Chungking Mansions in the Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) district of Kowloon. The Walled City is long since gone but as I’ve been traveling the Hong Kong area, I’ve found what I would say is a little piece of it still in existence.
