The origin of forest names in Chongqing

The title of "Chongqing Forest" is taken from chungking mansions, and the film also takes chungking mansions and its nearby Lan Kwai Fong fast food restaurant as the main scene. Chungking mansions is located at 36-44 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is a 16-storey building. Although chungking mansions is called a residential building, it is actually a mixed building. Wong Kar-wai said that he grew up in that part of chungking mansions, so he has always been interested in that place. 1993, Hong Kong Mid-Levels Elevator was officially opened. Photographer Du Kefeng happens to live near the elevator. Every day, people can be seen from the window taking the elevator between Central and Mid-Levels. In Wong Kar-wai's view, this is very different from Tsim Sha Tsui, where he grew up, so he came up with a film reflecting the different life of Hong Kong day and night, and the film "Chongqing Forest" was born.
