How to get to Chungking Mansions

Chungking Mansions is on the busy thoroughfare Nathan Road, not far from a number of exits from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and across the road from the towering iSQUARE mall. To the south are the plush environs of The Peninsula hotel and the tourist hotspots on the waterfront, including the Cultural Centre and the revamped Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade; while to the north is Kowloon Park.

The main entrance is at 36-44 Nathan Road, where you’ll be greeted by people touting the building’s restaurants, shops and tailors, and one or two peddling the odd fake luxury bag or watch. Chungking Mansions is actually five connected blocks, each with its own life on the ground floor. The first two floors contain shops and restaurants, with the upper floors containing the mini hotels and homes of residents.
