The most liberal red-light district in Hong Kong

'You'll become addicted to the carefree and relaxed lifestyle of the locals here,' said a British tourist stepping into Wanchai - Hong Kong's top hot spot for entertainment.

Touring Hong Kong through the most vibrant red-light district

As a British tourist set foot in Wanchai, he couldn't believe his eyes. It was his first time witnessing a genuine red-light district, with countless dimly lit bars and scantily clad girls trying to lure customers across the street.

The paradise of 'flower girls' and drugs

In Wanchai, bars are open continuously day and night. So, if one place kicks you out at 9 p.m., simply cross the street and head to another bar. Not all bars here are indigenous with provocatively dressed girls standing outside waving customers in. However, even in the most upscale places, there are countless beautiful and sexy women suggesting you buy them drinks at sky-high prices. After that, they will straightforwardly invite you to go with them without you having to ask, and just a nod will lead both of you to a nearby hotel.

During his early days here, this tourist was even lured to try cocaine. Despite declining, the dealer insisted that drugs were always available, and he could find them whenever needed.

Among the men he encountered aged between 20 and 50, a staggering 30 were regular cocaine users. Most of them worked in the banking sector and were Western expatriates. While some saw cocaine as a stress reliever, they constituted a minority. Therefore, the two main reasons people turn to drugs in Hong Kong are their ready availability and the constant demand from users.

The drug dealers in Wanchai are highly active. You can text or call anytime, and within 10-60 minutes, the merchandise is ready for your satisfaction. In case your regular supplier is busy or unresponsive, there's always a plethora of other dealers ready to step in and deliver to you in an instant.

'Common matters, no one cares'

When in Wanchai, you never have to worry about legal issues. You can go to the toilet and snort cocaine right there without having to hide or be discreet because nobody cares. The girls here are also very open and liberal in sexual matters. Many guests here are always indulged in alcohol, some are drug addicts, and some have an insatiable passion for women. However, meeting these people isn't easy as they're always busy enjoying themselves with the lovely ladies at some hotel.

Hong Kong can spoil you anytime. Just like Wanchai with numerous bars where guests can use drugs anytime, the flower girls and enticing invitations are everywhere. Here, reveling throughout the night is normalcy.

Once you set foot in Wanchai, you'll be drawn to the carefree and comfortable lifestyle of its people. When you visit another city, you'll wonder why there aren't bars open all night long, why the parties never seem to end. That's the feeling that not every place can give you.
