Hongkong, chungking mansions.
Chungking mansions was completed in 196 1 year. It consists of five buildings with 17 floors and 770 units. At that time, it was funded by a group of overseas Chinese and named "Chongqing" to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
"At that time, chungking mansions was the tallest building in Tsim Sha Tsui and was home to the most prestigious people in Hong Kong, some of whom were rented to British officers." Bao, B9' s boss, once heard his elders talk about his past glory.
Later, chungking mansions became a "mixed place of dragons and snakes". Crimes such as drug abuse, theft, robbery and murder occurred from time to time and often appeared in newspapers. This situation did not improve significantly until 2004. At this time, chungking mansions completed the renovation project, installed 208 CCTV cameras, and hired a security team to patrol 24 hours.
Chungking mansions is located at 36-44 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. 196 1 completed, although it is a residential building in theory, it has actually become a mixed building with many cheap hotels, shops, restaurants, foreign exchange shops and other service industries. About 4,000 residents in the building are mainly ethnic minorities in Hong Kong, with the largest number from Shanghai, South Asians such as India and Pakistan, and people from different African countries. Because of the scattered ownership of buildings, no one has been able to unify ownership and rebuild buildings successfully. Some people will compare this building to "Kowloon Castle of Hong Kong's ethnic minorities", which is an alternative international landmark with local characteristics.
In May 2007, Time magazine of the United States named more than 20 "Best Places to Go in Asia of the Year" and chungking mansions was named "Best Model of Globalization".
