Took these from the inner and outer bowels of Chungking Mansions from a weekend stay in 2006.
To say that the touts lining up on Nathan Rd. was my least favorite part of Hong Kong is an understatement. Sometimes, they'd follow me from the Star Ferry pier up to Mirador Mansions.
冚家鏟 to all of them, even if that's not the appropriate language...anyway, walk on a parallel street west, and it's no longer an issue.
Though, once through that rubbish, I'd head up to the 1st floor for some Turkish or South Asian food - occasionally further up for something West African - and used to exchange money on the ground floor, before learning about the places near Shun Tak Centre.
