Thanks in part to Wong Kar-wai's popular 1994 film Chungking Express, the site draws a regular flow of tourists to its affordable curry houses and warren of knockoff-electronics booths. While members of Hong Kong's triads - the local underground crime syndicates - play a key role in Nine Dragons, they don't have much of a presence...
