Tours

Chungking Mansions, a historic landmark in the heart of Hong Kong, stands as a testament to the city's rich tapestry of cultures and communities. Built in the 1960s, this iconic structure has long served as a hub for immigrants, travelers, and entrepreneurs from around the globe. Its vibrant atmosphere and eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and guesthouses reflect the diverse identities that come together within its walls. As one of the most significant sites in Hong Kong's history, Chungking Mansions embodies the spirit of resilience and multiculturalism that defines the city. 

Our tour of Chungking Mansions will begin on the ground and first floors, where you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the bustling environment that characterizes this unique building. After having a short tea break, we will visit the newly opened Diversity Hub museum located on the 17th floor. This engaging space showcases the stories and contributions of the many communities that call Chungking Mansions home. 

By the end of our visit, you will leave with a deeper appreciation for Chungking Mansions and the vibrant tapestry of people who inhabit it. What may initially seem foreign will transform into a welcoming and familiar experience, highlighting the beauty of diversity that is integral to Hong Kong's identity.
