		I stayed at Chungking Mansion on my first trip to Hong Kong in 1983, living in a neon-colored cell that was furnished with two sagging beds, a night table, and closet.
		Still, Chungking is not the kind of place you'd want to recommend to anyone uninitiated in the seamier side of travel.
		Chungking Mansion contains approximately 100 guesthouses, divided into five separate blocks, from A Block to E Block.

		Chungking Express is a film directly inspired by the city of Hong Kong itself, in particular two distinct locations — Chungking Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui and Central (consisting of Lan Kwai Fong and the Mid-level escalators) on Hong Kong Island (See Appendix Two).
		Chungking Mansion, a daunting, warren-like complex of shops, offices, cheap guest houses and private homes, is conveniently located in the heart of Tsim Tsa Shui, one of Hong Kong's more important commercial and shopping belts.
		Her association with her troop of South Asian would-be drug smugglers in the bowels of Chungking Mansion is purely utilitarian and business-oriented as is her relationship with her drug boss, and possible former lover, despite the fact she wears the blonde wig he has a penchant for.

		Chungking Mansions is the tourist ghetto of Hong Kong.
		Chunking Mansions was also built in 1962 before the advent of modern fire codes and the elevators are chronically broken, so if you stay there, be sure to book a room in one of the lower floors.
		Also, if you are staying at the rear of Chungking Mansions (anything other than block "A"), it might be kinda spooky going to the elevators at night after all the shops on the ground floor are closed.

		Chungking Mansion, where I thought we might stay, has too many touts and kind of angry looking young men from Africa and Middle East all over the place.

	Chungking Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chungking Express (Traditional Chinese: 重慶森林; Simplified Chinese: 重庆森林; pinyin: Chóngqìng Sēnlín; literally "Chongqing forest") is a 1994 Hong Kong movie written and directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung, Faye Wong and Valerie Chow.
		The English title refers to Chungking Mansions and the Midnight Express food stall where Faye Wong stands outside during the end of the film.
		If you're trying to follow the plot, you may feel frustrated...When Godard was hot, in the 1960s and early 1970s, there was an audience for this style, but in those days, there were still film societies and repertory theaters to build and nourish such audiences.

		The morning after my arrival I was still reeling from the shock of my expectations when I booked the place ("Chungking Mansion, my that sounds quite nice") compared to the reality of the place, when the little old lady asked me, "Chai?", pointing to a pot on the stove.
		This wonderful chai was the best discovery in Hong Kong; I couldn't wait to spend another night in the Mansion, just to have some more chai in the morning.

	Asia Studios > Wong Kar-wai Interview
		Question: In "Chungking Express", you have a scene with Brigitte Lin and a group of Indians and in Happy Together you have a similar scene with a number of Argentinians in the building which Tony Leung's character is staying.
		Wong Kar-wai: Yes, in fact, he felt very shocked when we were making the first scene on the first day, and he was kind of unprepared, and he remained speechless for three days.
		So I had to explain to him, if I can make you fall in love with a can of sardines in "Chungking Express," why can't I make you fall in love with a man in this film, and I think it helped.

		The overrated Wong Kar-wai gets an entire chapter in the book and a significant share of his praise ("In Chungking Express, entertainment fosters genuine experimental impulses"); and while he notes that Wong "takes seriously all of youth's conceits" and is "devoid of irony," he makes it sound as if this was a good thing.

		As soon as we climbed out of the bus we were accosted by an Indian man who demanded we follow him to his guesthouse at Chungking Mansions - an obvious scam in search of just the right sucker.
