Chungking Mansion, Kowloon, Hong Kong

The Chungking Mansion is one of the craziest places I’ve stayed on my trip. An enormous block of buildings which was home to over 20 hostels and guest houses, and had people from dozens of countries staying there. It was also an enormous fire trap. I wrote a more complete article on the Chungking Mansion last year.

    I have read many shocking reviews about the Chungking Mansion and altought it offers probably some of the cheapest rooms in HK, which is very tempting, we will opt to stay at one of the Bridal Tea house guesthouse which I hope it will not to be disappointed

    Hey Gary,

    I'm a friend of Nathan's here in SF. He told me to stop by and the first pic I saw was of Chungking. I spent 6 months in Hong Kong and sent everyone who visited over to that place! There's great Indian food in the basement. I love what you're doing! I just wish it were me.
