Wiki wrote:Chungking Mansions is a building located at 36–44 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The building is well known as nearly the cheapest accommodation in Hong Kong. Though the building is supposedly residential, it is made up of many independent low-budget hotels, shops, and other services. The unusual atmosphere of the building is sometimes compared to that of Kowloon Walled City.
Even if it's at a smaller scale it seems to me (bar that fantastic reimagining as an arcade in Kawasaki) as Kowloon's best heritage as a contained urban village, housing people from all over the world, in an almost self-sufficient manner. And, thankfully, there seems to be no indication that it will shut down anytime soon.

As you can see the pictures alone look right at home with KWC's.
In Shenmue II there doesn't seem to be a clear reference to this building ( in Hong Kong).
Have any of you who have visited Hong Kong been to this place?
