Lost (or Found) in Hong Kong

Greenfeld explains the energy at atmosphere at The Mansions:
Like Bangkok's Khao San Road or Jakarta's Jalen Jaksa, Chungking has become a legendary jumping off point, the same seedy rooms used to plot a thousand getaways, and not just for a holiday but also for a whole new life. These tiny rooms represent a nadir of sorts. Most of those passing through Chungking Mansion are very far from home and at the end of a run of horrendous bad luck. You don't show up at the Mansion on a winning streak.
Of course, it is possible to wander around the narrow corridors of the neighborhood without having to shack up at Chungking Mansions. But, if you are on a budget, this is the place to place your head.
