How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A maze of market quarters, neon signs and back alleys next to Aberdeen, split into areas such as Golden Quarter, Lucky Charm Quarter and Scarlet Hills.
The real place
Wan Chai is a real district on Hong Kong Island, known for its neon-lit nightlife streets and the trams on Johnston Road. The game's quarters are invented, but the dense, sign-filled streets echo the area in the 1980s.
Visiting
Ride the tram along Johnston Road and walk the street markets around Tai Yuen Street. Many old neon signs have been taken down in recent years, so come at night to see the ones that remain.
