Chungking Mansions
Stores / Malls, Kowloon
Fodor's Review:
Kowloon's famous Nathan Road runs several miles north from Salisbury Road in TST. It's filled with hotels, restaurants, and shops -- indeed, retail space is so costly that the southern end is dubbed the Golden Mile. The mile's most famous tower block is ramshackle Chungking Mansions, packed with cheap hotels and Indian restaurants. It was the setting for arty local director Wong Kar-Wai's film Chungking Express. To the left and right are mazes of narrow streets with even more shops selling jewelry, electronics, clothes, souvenirs, and cosmetics. Skulking individuals chanting "copy watch" and "copy suit" are on every street corner -- at least they're honest about the "Rolexes" they sell.
