Info & Description

NOTICE:\nOur reception office is only on: Block A, 3th floor of Chunking Mansions,\nWe don't have any office branch in other place!\n\n\nWhat to see, where to eat and where to stay, Chungking Mansions could be \nlisted under all of these categories. A Hong Kong landmark, made famous by \nWong Kar Wai of Cannes fame, the mansions have become an attraction in \ntheir own right.\n-\nHoused inside a maze like structure, Chungking used to be the first point of \ncall for immigrants from every nation. Today it is still Hong Kong's centre of \nmulticulturialism, famous in the city for its excellent Indian and Pakistani \nfood, while its bargain basement guesthouses and hostels have been \nattracting backpackers for years. \n-\nChungking Mansions is a famous building in Hong Kong, China. It is located at \n36-44 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. The building is well-known as nearly the \ncheapest accommodation in Hong Kong with a single bed of US $8 one night. \nThough the building is supposedly residential, it is made up of many \nindependent cheap hotels, shops, and other services. The strange \natmosphere of this building is sometimes called by some 'the scent of \nKowloon's Walled City'.\n-\nChungking Mansions features a labyrinth of guesthouses, curry restaurants, \nAfrican bistros, clothing shops, sari stores, and foreign exchange offices. It \noften acts as a large gathering place for some of the ethnic minorities in \nHong Kong, particularly Indians, Middle Eastern people, Nepalese, Sri \nLankans, Bangladeshis, Nigerians, Europeans, Americans, Pakistanis, Asians, \nand many other peoples of the world. The building was completed in 1961, at \nwhich time Chinese residents predominated. Now, after more than four \ndecades of use, there are nearly 4,000 people living in the Mansions.\n-\nWith this lively mix of guest workers, mainlanders, local Chinese, tourists and \nbackpackers, the Chungking neighbourhood is one of the most culturally \ndiverse locations in Hong Kong.\n-\nIn a study by CUHK anthropologist Prof. Gordon Mathews, it is revealed that \nthere are people from at least 120 different nationalities who have passed \nthrough Chungking Mansions in the past year. In the issue of 'TIME \nMagazine' on May 7, 2007, Chungking Mansions was elected as the Best \nExample of Globalization in Action in its annual feature The Best of Asia.\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n-\n-\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHong Kong Downtown Backpackers\nRooms are new decorated.
