Chungking Mansions is a labyrinthine complex with restaurants, guesthouses and stores. It is a community hub for migrants and refugees. The tour to the complex is one of many offered by Hong Kong Free Tours that aims to show the ‘real’ Hong Kong
HONG KONG, Sept 10 - Guide Michael Tsang was able to take tourists freely around Asia's financial hub in 2019, introducing them the city’s protest movement, explaining "one country, two systems" and showing them scenes of economic inequality.
Tsang, who quit his finance job in 2016 to start Hong Kong Free Tours, said he wanted to help bring harmony to society and engage people from different facets of life. Social worker Jeffrey Andrews, a Hong Kong resident of Indian descent, introduced tour goers to small family-owned businesses inside the complex. He explained that some people were apprehensive because the topics were often sensitive, including political and religious persecution.
