    Great video! Nice walk around, I like your casual and chill aproach👍 I’m travelling to HK in a few days. I’m actually booked at Travellers Hostel for two weeks!:) My first visit was back in 93, haven’t been there since 2018. Can’t wait😄

      Thanks so much for your comment. I lived in Travellers hostel from 96 till 2000 was great back then, there used to be a big open area where everyone would hang out and was run by a Filipino lady and her English husband . Not like that any more 🤣

      Not sure if you saw but on my channel I have an airbnb video. The Airbnb I stayed in was close to Chungking Mansions and was small but nice. The link to that airbnb is in the description of that video. If you really want to stay In Chungking then I recommend Travellers Hostel in A block. It's about the best one. Thanks for the comment

      @@arkadeepmitra3429 thanks for watching. Chungking Express is my favourite film, I love WKW and Christopher Doyles cinematography. The air bnb I stayed in is walking distance from Chungking. Check bookings dot com for rooms and go with the one with the highest amount of reviews and highest score. I think it is actually Travellers Hostel, I spent 3yrs in travellers hostel back in the late 90s was very different back was a communal area and you make lots of friends I don't think it's like that now. The is a great video on UA-cam with Christopher Doyle and Anthony bourdain about Chungking Mansions and Chungking Express I recommend watching it.

I have actually gotten the architectural layout online so i am gonna be familiar with the fire exits when i am there . Last i check there has been fights and 1 murder occuring there in the last 1 year alone . I really regret it but i was so greedy i didnt check ...and simply booked . i will be there sept 15 -21 . one of the reviews mentioned he felt there was a ghost and he ran away at 5am in the morming . Thank u for your concern . btw most of the local news arent available on google . u gotta go into those chinese websites to see what really happens in hk on a daily basis . for sure still alot of gangsters there and drug peddling .
