Books About Hong Kong

Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions by Gordon Mathews.

There’s nowhere quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district. It’s home to Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa. It’s possibly the most globalized spot on the planet.

Hong Kong has one of the most impressive city skylines in the world. At night the skyline is lit up with A Symphony of Lights, a light show synchronized to cheesy music. It’s an interesting to see once, but really, the skyline needs no enhancement.
