Chungking Mansions
Yau Tsim Mong, Hong Kong
A world-renowned symbol of "low end globalization", as described by social anthropologist Gordon Mathews in his book "Ghetto at the Centre of the World". People of 140+ nationalities were reported to find short or long term shelter in the building. An intense hybrid of peoples, languages, currencies, foods, electronic goods and life stories rarely found elsewhere in the world.
