THE BEST OF ASIA!!!


Best Example of Globalization in Action


'Chungking Mansions'


by TIME Magazine 2007


-


What to see, where to eat and where to stay, Chungking Mansions could be


listed under all of these categories. A Hong Kong landmark, made famous by


Wong Kar Wai of Cannes fame, the mansions have become an attraction in


their own right.


-


Housed inside a maze like structure, Chungking used to be the first point of


call for immigrants from every nation. Today it is still Hong Kong's centre of


multiculturialism, famous in the city for its excellent Indian and Pakistani


food, while its bargain basement guesthouses and hostels have been


attracting backpackers for years.


-


Chungking Mansions is a famous building in Hong Kong, China. It is located at


36-44 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. The building is well-known as nearly the


cheapest accommodation in Hong Kong with a single bed of US $8 one night.


Though the building is supposedly residential, it is made up of many


independent cheap hotels, shops, and other services. The strange


atmosphere of this building is sometimes called by some 'the scent of


Kowloon's Walled City'.


-


Chungking Mansions features a labyrinth of guesthouses, curry restaurants,


African bistros, clothing shops, sari stores, and foreign exchange offices. It


often acts as a large gathering place for some of the ethnic minorities in


Hong Kong, particularly Indians, Middle Eastern people, Nepalese, Sri


Lankans, Bangladeshis, Nigerians, Europeans, Americans, Pakistanis, Asians,


and many other peoples of the world. The building was completed in 1961, at


which time Chinese residents predominated. Now, after more than four


decades of use, there are nearly 4,000 people living in the Mansions.


-


With this lively mix of guest workers, mainlanders, local Chinese, tourists and


backpackers, the Chungking neighbourhood is one of the most culturally


diverse locations in Hong Kong.


-


In a study by CUHK anthropologist Prof. Gordon Mathews, it is revealed that


there are people from at least 120 different nationalities who have passed


through Chungking Mansions in the past year. In the issue of 'TIME


Magazine' on May 7, 2007, Chungking Mansions was elected as the Best


Example of Globalization in Action in its annual feature The Best of Asia.
