Hey YouTube, welcome back to another video. Today's video, we're about to show you a pentagram, and we are about to enter what is considered hell on earth in this mafia mansion of Chongqing in Hong Kong.
Welcome to Chungqing Mansions, the most lawless skyscraper in the Far East. Five blocks, 17 stories, hundreds of nationalities, thousands of rooms, and a reputation that makes locals avoid it after dark. You need to ask permission. Okay. What do I have permission? No. Okay. What you're about to see in this video is a mafia mansion never before documented where contraband is brought in, duffel bags at a time, full-on snow deals inside hidden back rooms, and a massive room of triad operatives inside secret opium dens.
On the surface, it's a tourist haven. You come here for $5 biryani, foreign exchanges, and fake Rolexes. But as soon as night falls, it becomes a whole new world. Cameras conveniently stop working, and floors become turf zones divided between Indian and Pakistani drug syndicates who have been at war here for over a decade. What looks like just a building of touristy motel that you can reserve on any travel website has a very dark underline. The hierarchy goes like this: The triads control it all from the top. Under them are Pakistani Indian mafias moving kilos and fighting for more real estate inside the mansion. And then you have the sub-Saharan illegal migrants who are trying to make a quick buck, but they're tiny small fish just making it by.
Behind me right now is the Chongq King mansions, which is basically like the favelas of Brazil, the hoods of South America, and the slums of Africa, all in one giant building. We're staying incognito right now because for the next 7 days, I'm establishing connects inside without providing too much of a high profile so that we can get in and get to the top of this building.
Interestingly enough, I am currently in the alley connected to the Chong King mansion. This little camera right here that I'm talking to you with is the most dangerous weapon inside these mansions. You're talking about money laundering, hundreds of millions of dollars. But as you climb the ranks over and over and over, it gets way more dangerous. And here's the thing: I can't go in today in the day and show you how it operates during the day because then I risk losing the chance to go at night. At every single entrance is watchmen. Watchmen. And they're not young watchmen. These are older watchmen that have been gang banging for decades, 20, 30 years. Okay? And so I can't enter any of the entrances with this camera because that'll cause issues. And I don't want anyone looking at me and going, "Watch out for this guy." Because guess what? In order to get to the eighth floor, you have to enter through the first floor. So every single entrance, I've already tested it off camera. As soon as you enter, they try to sell you uh drugs, whatever. They're just sitting there at the entrances. It's going to be an interesting mission. Uh, but we're going to get it done. We're going to get it done for you guys, and you're also going to subscribe to Taboo TV because of it.
What's also very interesting about these mansions is just down the street you've got Louis Vuitton and you have the harbor right down here which we're about to show you because this might be my last ever time getting to see such a beautiful view. So this is the Hong Kong Harbor City skyline. But let's get into the real real thoughts that I have about entering this place.
All right. So, biggest issue with entering a building like this is that there is only one way out. Okay. One, I don't understand the terrain, nor can I see the terrain from the outside, unlike a favela. Two, if I go up to the eighth floor, I have to go back down eight floors to get out. So, at any point, if we get into any trouble, the way out is not easy. I could be killed inside, nobody would ever find out. Three, we're dealing with so many different kinds of people that the variables are just insane. Okay? And the fact that there are no cameras, no protection. You don't know who's your friend. Well, no one is your friend inside. My easiest bet to enter and gain access in my opinion is through the Pakistanis. So, we've set up a dinner tonight with some Pakistanis where we're going to eat with our hands. You know, we're going to chat about the Muslim culture, and they're eventually going to let me in, I believe, because of my Taliban series. My Taliban series gave me a lot of respect amongst Muslims. We're about to figure this out. I'm excited to take you guys along this journey. I have no idea what to expect. And so, the plan began.
After seeing how connected of a city it was, I knew I was going to need some help. I post on my Instagram that I'm in Hong Kong. A viewer of the channel reaches out and tells me he has exactly what I'm looking for.
All right, guys. It's night time now, and I'm meeting up with a kid who DM'd me on Instagram that said he's got an interview with a hitman for me. Operates a entire gang of Pakistani gang bangers around this area. Meeting with him here in an open area. Always an open area. It's just me solo. It's their entire team. I don't know when I'm going to be able to film, but this is about establishing trust. I've given my phone to my friend who is chilling at the hotel, and I have nothing on me. Just a little bit of cash, my credit cards, and my cameras. So, I don't know where this adventure is going to take us today. Uh, but I'm in for an adventure.
Within minutes of entering the car with them, we were randomly selected by a police checkpoint. I had no ID on me, and the situation was getting heated. At some point it was escalating. So I just pulled out my YouTube channel and I showed them that I had done a collab with Speed who is like a god there. Thanks Speed. You actually saved me here. Crazy. Crazy. Welcome to Hong Kong. This is one of the rougher areas of Hong Kong. So check this: I'm in the middle now of this Jordan area. Okay. Pretty colorful as Hong Kong is. A lot of weird interesting alleys. But watch me when I walk by. Oh, the women of the night literally just walked from in front of me up this alleyway. Up this alleyway with a client that back door literally I just saw her I just saw her get picked up and walk upstairs with him. This whole street is full of them. This is way worse than any favelas. I'm going to 100% be honest with you guys: This is way worse than any favelas cuz when you go up a building, it's fair game. Then you you can't escape. You have to go back down. A building is way worse.
I'm eating a samosa with my boys. I'm going to put the cameras away till we head to the mountains. This was all part of the trust-earning process. At this point, I was taken to the mountains of Hong Kong from midnight till 4:00 a.m. where the entire Pakistani mafia showed up with its leaders and scanned me to see if they'd allow me to enter the mansion. They were mobbing 20 deep. And if they wanted to, this would have been the perfect place to chop me up and make sure nobody ever hears from me again.
All right, guys. Today is the day we're meeting up with everybody. We are approved. It's the morning time. The Pakistanis are showing us around the mansion, and they're taking care of us. They said they could handle everything. We're about to go check in some of the ins and outs of the Chongqing mansion. And we have full approval inside the Chongq King mansion. So, we are allowed to film anything and everything. And if somebody says anything to us, my boys are going to slap them. That's what I've been told. So, let's hope nobody's got to get slapped. Actually, maybe it'd be great if someone gets slapped cuz then we have ourselves some good footage. I was like, "What do you mean you'll slap them?" They're like, "If somebody looks at you the wrong way, we will slap them. Film whatever you want. We will literally slap them." Oh, you guys are moving like that.
All right, this is the Chong King mansions and we are about to enter. These are the mafia mansions of Hong Kong. When I enter, you guys are going to see a bunch of Indians and Pakistanis looking at me. We've gained prior approval to enter in here, and if anyone messes with me, I already have friends on the inside kind of, but you're going to see people giving me weird looks on the left and right as I walk through here with a camera as well as trying to sell me things. There's Chung King Mansion. So, we're going to be, you know, not super discreet, but "Hello, sir." They're already from the get-go on the bats covering the entrances. "Hello, my friend. Huh? What is this? Guest house. Oh, guest house. Guest house. Guest house. Room. Beautiful. Very good. Beautiful women. Yes. You need room. Uh-huh. You need room. A room without no women. Just room. Yeah. Small room. And then women. Women ordering delivery. Yeah. Okay. I take card. Okay. I see room. Oh, I can see room. Yeah, sure. Let's see room. Okay. Strawberry guest house. Okay. All right. We're going into a motel. You can book this online. Airbnb, booking.com, hotels.com. Wow. Crazy. Okay. Interesting. Where are we? Holy sh*t. This is crazy. There are just decades of rusted air conditioners. All right, let's go, bro. Show me this motel. All right, this is a lovely motel here. 'Do not disturb.' Okay, bro. Thank you. 'How much this one room? 200 only. 200. Okay, easy. 200 is good, bro. Let's... This is the best price, huh? 200. Best price outside. Go press button exit. Okay. Okay. Okay. And then key coming in. Come, come, come. Automatic door. Pop. Okay. Okay. This one. Card press only. No password. Only card press and... Oh, wow. High technology. Very good technology.'
We have a bed and we have a toilet with brown water and the shower is in the toilet. This is what a standard life in a tight room for a normal person in Hong Kong looks like. This is not just the motel that I am in. This is literally what it looks like. If I was to shower, I'm going to get everything in here wet. Look, the water is dripping. It's... I'm going to assume this bed has bed bugs on it. The sheets they've given me have all kinds of weird stains on them. This weird ass weird stains on these beds. And you guys want to see a million-dollar view inside a Hong Kong mafia mansion? You want to see what it looks like? Check this. This is our million-dollar view. Yeah. This is our view, guys. This is our view inside the Chongqing Mansion. $20 motel. This is 20 bucks. Uh, our view is super insane. Oh, you want to feel rich, too? Double it up, bro. Double up the windows. Check that. Now you're really talking. Now we're talking money shot, brother. Money shot. Look at that. Look how far this goes. And look how far this goes down. This whole floor motel here. Everywhere. Yes, everywhere. Okay. Thank you. All right. 12th floor. Let's go all the way up to the final floor of this mansion and see what's up.
13th floor of the mafia mansions of Hong Kong. This is what you get. Or a bit rude to put that knife in me chest in it. Anyways, let's hit this top floor and then we'll work our way back down to ground one, which is where all the action happens. You got weird liquids on all these steps. You got some fights went on in here. Don't know what went on, but some fights went on in here. 17th floor. We're not at the top level. I really like fat woman with big belly and everything big. Like, guys, the claustrophobia in this place. Okay, we're at the top now. So, we got some sun. Seems like this is more motel. "Hello. Yes. Are you sir? No video. No video. Okay. I have permission from my friends downstairs. No permission. Okay. Okay. Got you, bro." [Music] That was a hostel. Random hostel. Angry Indian man. So, if we're going to respect that one. "Hey, you are awesome. Check that. You are awesome. Yeah, that is dried blood. You can tell. Hello. You can tell someone clearly got stabbed up right here. Beat into the corner. Crazy. Everyone knows the blind spots cuz Boris Johnson is a wanker. Okay, Boris Johnson is a wanker apparently." Let's go back down to the main floor. We're back on one of the intense levels here. "How are you, sir? Where are you from? Arab. I'm Lebanese. Nigeria. Vlogger. Oh, I've been to Nigeria. I've been to Makoko. Makoko. Where are you? Makoko. I've been to Makoko. I... They call me Obo. Obo. Obo. And then they say I one of their clients. One of their clients. Yeah. They... No, you know Yahoo boy. Your YouTube man. Just Arab. Arab. No. How are you, sir? Making video. You need to ask permission. Okay. What? Cool. Do I have permission? No. Okay. Okay. Uh, I watch this one now. I watched these things. Oh, you see this one? Yeah. You went to see the Taliban? Yes. I watch this now. I want to see the Taliban. You were so scared sir. You was see now you don't know what's going to happen next. Damn. Cool. What else is there cool to check out around here? Some African shops. Yeah, that's that's his brother shop. Okay, that's Nigerian shop. You can go in. Nigerian shop. Let's go in. Let's go into this Nigerian shop. Niger shop. Yeah. Let me get one of these. Bro, will this fit me? Of course it will fit. Okay. You give me a good price. Yeah. Okay. What do we got here? I'll give you 200. No. Come on. That's not 200, bro. That's 200. Very good, bro. Hey, I... Hey, I'm a... Hey, listen. I'm a really good negotiator, so I'm going to... But I'm going to be nice here. Let's do 100. Just meet me at 100. Don't make me say... Don't make me say 40 and then go 50. I'm doing this to support you. Okay, it's fine. Okay. Okay, good. 100. We make it easy. We have good friendship here. All right. All right. All right. All right. Okay. Let's see what we got here. Put it on. Yeah, I'll put it on. Okay. I'll come out of here. Niga boy. I'm a Niger boy or ye boy. What's up? Feel like you DM'd me on Instagram once as a fake girl and you said send me money. You know what I mean? Nice to meet you. Nice meeting you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, my friend."
All right, so this second floor is clearly where some quieter things go down, but most of the action is on the first floor. We've learned we've now hit the entire mansion. Yes. Yes. "How are you? How are you? Restaurant. Restaurant. Yeah. That's what Pakistani food. Indian food. Which restaurant? Come, I show you. What is this? Famous. Very famous. Multi Palace. Yeah. Multi Palace is one of the top restaurant. So, this one won't get me sick. Yeah. Won't get you sick. We're going to have the best Indian restaurant. You can take a seat. Okay, we'll take a seat. I'll go take a seat. VIP room. VIP room. Cool. I'm a VIP automatically. Three idiots. That is a VIP room also." All right, we're looking at mango lassi and banana lassi. Let's see how these bad boys taste. We got... Wow. Wow. That banana one is insane. M. Mango lassi is so good, bro. Look at that bad boy. Indian food got to be some of the best in the world. And then we have the fried pakora. Pakora is these fried different vegetables. You got these fritter fried cauliflower, onions, all kinds of different things. Masala, my brother. Masala dosa. What is this? What is this? Let me see that. Masala dosa. Holy. We got a few different sauces on that bad boy. Wow. Truly insane. So full of flavor. God bless for such insane food. Garlic butter naan is probably some of the best bread you can get in the world. Masala tea, bro. Please bring that bad boy right here. Thank you. Insane. This food is so good. And obviously the whole point of this vlog is not to be a food review, but this is part of getting in the culture. This is part of waiting, so we're going to document it. You know, aside from taking you guys to dangerous places, which is what gives us the thrill, which is what makes this channel, we also do like to enjoy life. You know, part of the reason we get such high access to certain places is because we don't go in acting like Vice, okay, as a journalist that is here for a specific story. No, we go in with culture, okay? We go in with culture, and with culture comes trust and respect and all these different things. Being able to learn and communicate about this kind of food, being able to bridge the gap about a flavor of a of a naan, of a dosa, of a utapam, of a of a po pa. Okay. This is all part of the culture that allows you to bond with these people who are showing us around these places. "So, you want to take a picture with me? Yeah, sure. Let's do it. You going to you're going to put me here on the board? Yeah. Here. Okay, we got currency and crypto exchanges on our left and right. Everyone is starting to accept USDT, which is very important. A lot of what we do on this channel involves trading crypto or using crypto in order to interact with people across the world." [Music] "How are you sir? Please finish. Come here. Okay. We're on a new adventure. You... Huh? You guys need lettuce. Lettuce. No. No. No need. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Lettuce. No. Yes. Thank you. You very strong guy. Yes." So, there you go. We just got sold lettuce. "You want lettuce? He said. He said you want lettuce." It's crazy the code words that you can use about anything. You want to sell some sort of contraband or whatnot, just use a code word. Although it is an open market where people are selling and doing all kinds of things in these back rooms here, a lot of stuff goes down, right? It's a brotherhood. There's a lot of money laundering. Uh, sometimes uh you know murders that happen in here, not random ones, but specific ones based off of enemies of different organizations. Hell, there's a demon star, a pentagram, and then it says hell. What? Yeah. So, uh, that's the kind of place we're in. We haven't really gotten to see much underworld kind of stuff yet, but that stuff is being set up. "Me and him from brother. No video. No. No. Video. Video. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. No video. Why no video? No video. I need to film my video. I do vlogging travel. No. Why not? My boss is no video only. Oh, he tell me. No, but your boss, they like me. I speak to them already. But the this video is not allowed. Which video is allowed? Uh phone. Phone video allowed. No upload video now. Oh, okay. No upload. I go cutting somewhere else then. Okay. Thank you, sir. I can do my beard here." All right, we're getting our beard trimmed up in a Chung King mansion. [Music] "Damn, bro. You got me right. Very nice. Thank you, sir. 60. 60. Here's 100. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Bye-bye."
All right. So, seems all our contacts are not responding. Part of that reason is because there's a big mob boss in town and they're hosting him. So, uh, that's the word that I got yesterday and apparently that's what's happening today. We go with the flow.
All right, boys. It's night time of day two. As you can see, it's getting dark out, and now the real adventure begins. I don't know who I was thinking that any of this hood, this kind of triad, this underworld would happen at any point in the day, now it's night time and everyone is all of a sudden awake and responding. This is when stuff starts moving. So, let's go. "How are you, bro? Pleasure to see you as well."
All right, boys. It's night time. We're out in the streets. The mansion is right behind me, but the boys are waiting for me for us to continue moving. Check out that view of Hong Kong. Uh, we're here on top of a car park, you know, participating in recreational activities, preliminary measures. Always before these kind of adventures, you got to be on the same frequency, which oftentimes involves a nice Marlboro cigarette, you know, because we would never participate in anything else. What an insane view of Hong Kong. This harbor is one of the coolest harbors I've ever seen. And since night had fallen, the wolves had come out of the den, and it was time to capture a story. I was given instructions to pull up to the backside of the mansion with my friend Jade, who you all have seen when we had Mad Honey in the Himalayas. We pulled up to the mansion and waited.
For a few minutes, as there were watchmen on every corner and cameras tracking our every move. Things were about to get more heated than we expected.
Yo, bro, we're at the corner. Uh, I don't know. There's some people here, but I don't know who's who, bro. There's like people giving us weird looks. So, can you show me where you at? Can you show me where you're at?
Yeah, I'm I'm at the the triple intersection. Check this. That leads to the main street. That leads to spot. You're in the perfect spot. Don't move from there.
Okay. Don't move from here. We're actually standing at the hottest alley right now. It's literally it's literally hot and it's the hottest alley of the trade. Like we're between the three major intersections of different roads. One being the back door, uh the other being this hidden alley that takes you straight into the mall and then that being the main alley, uh which takes you to the main road.
Hello sir. A lot of uh Indians and Pakistanis will come around here at night and their job goes from being regular employees to tradesmen. Tradesmen. Okay. They tend to traffic and sell things through here. So that's a known fact. All right. We love the government here. Okay. We're just journalists. We're checking things out. And you can actually check it out more uncensored and extended on Taboo TV, which you can download on your mobile phone today.
So we're sitting here waiting and all of a sudden, like a mafia movie, I can't even make this up. We get pinched from all sides. Holy. We just got pulled up on from every angle. But when we get near there, point it shut you off. If you if you push the whole thing, know exactly where it is out there. I was given clear instructions: Don't film the way there.
We get taken into a shop and the garage gets closed on us. All of a sudden, we're in a room. Four guys putting their lives at risk to let us film this before I can blink my eyes. A deal happens out of nowhere. Two bricks get handed off and stuffed into their pockets for distribution throughout the night. Crazy. We just witnessed a deal go down.
Yeah, I would love to see stuff. At this point, the boys proceeded to show us a hint of their stash. All sorts of different substances that we actually can't show on YouTube. If you'd like to see a deeper look into this stuff, visit Taboo TV, where we're able to post completely uncensored content.
This is insane. Uh, I'm just here to document. I've not participated in anything. What is this stuff right here? Hold up. Yeah. This gets boxed from the big bags to the small bags. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Standard. What about that handoff there? That was a brick obviously of
Okay, we got to get out of here. Okay. So, every corner has like a different station. Like one corner is one corner is something else. Like it's small quantity. small quantity like regular consumer use and then in the big rooms is where the bigger stuff happens and it just gets more and more intense throughout the night.
Okay. Yo YouTube, if you guys are watching this, obviously some of the stuff we capture is has to be censored aside from faces. But if you want to see the uncensored kind of contraband content, that's all on Taboo TV. Okay? That's all on Taboo TV cuz we can't show that on YouTube. This is real, that happens in the world right now as you're seeing it. So you keep that in mind. Like you might be watching this through a YouTube video or as a documentary, but this is real and this is happening in the world at the same exact time that you are watching this video right now. Okay? Somewhere across the globe that's happening. So just remember that this is actually raw.
All right, guys. So, we've just been shown kind of how a deal goes down. It was very quick. Uh, we didn't really have much time in there. Maybe about a minute, a minute and a half. We got shown how a deal goes down. Now, we're headed to a crackdown where they're going to show us a bunch of people kind of drugged out. Okay. And zombies. Let's move on to the next location. There are a bunch of subsaharan illegals here as well that are they just every room on the ground floor is like crazier and crazier.
[Applause] Thank you. All right. What's in this store? Hello. Snacks maybe. I'm a fromco. No. No. I'm a obo. They call me in Nigeria. They call me a client. They want to do a video. They want to the YouTube blogger. They said they want to Philippines. Yeah, I'm Philippines. Uh Kan Kan. Take a quick stroll around this mansion. You can instantly feel the difference between day and night in this mansion. And it just becomes open alleys and groups of Indians, Pakistanis, and Nigerian/East Africans just staring at you. Look, we're seeing shops start shutting down. And when these shops start shutting down, that's when the action starts happening. So, the fact that we're able to capture this, hello, how are you, sir? is only because word has been put in that you know we're here today and don't touch our guests. Okay, this is like ultimate immunity that required days of connecting and earning trust.
We drove slightly out of town to pick up an addict who was going to show us where the opium dens were. How are you, bro? Good, buddy. Good. Very cool. Just be careful when you when you enter the door. Oh, police. Really? Okay. We're at a den and apparently this one has been blocked off as you can see by the door. So, police already hit this one. He had no idea. Uh these are literally just random stairs that you walk up and it's just full of heads. So we're going to the next one. This area is actually in the middle of the city, too. Uh people, tourists kind of walking around and it's literally among you, which is super crazy how ingrained it is in the center of the city kind of like this isn't the financial district, but it is the hub where everyone moves around, you know? So, let's go to the actual den.
[Music] We're inside a den right now. [Music] Are we good? We're good. As soon as we enter the den, I'm mind blown. I've never seen anything like this in my life. Two triad dudes are counting cash and there's 20 addicts just zombied out of their minds. I forgot all the rules of survival and started talking English. We're inside a den right now, guys. This is crazy. They're all out in this room. Holy holy. Everyone's doing right now, guys. You can't see all this on YouTube. You can literally only watch this on Tableau TV. And you can be getting paid to clip this up. Wow, I got adrenaline flowing through me. I'm trying not to breathe too much. I don't want to inhale any. Yo, we should Hey, we should get out of here. This is This is enough. Yeah. This stuff is crazy. I think I think this is insane. Let's get out of here. Let's get out of here. Let's get out.
[Music] Holy. Holy. What the hell? Oh man. Oh my Jade. What? Have you ever seen anything like that before? That was a cafe. Yo, there were just 100 people inside doing rock. I didn't want to inhale too much and we got out of there. But that's real. That is real life. And that is happening right now. Right now. And you can clip it up on Taboo TV. You can literally We have a team of editors that will teach you how to clip this kind of content up and show the world reality cuz this is happening right now. Wherever the you're watching from, anywhere in the world, this is a real existence. That den is running 24/7. It doesn't sleep. You sleep. It doesn't sleep. They were soed out. They were soed out. They don't know what's going on. Holy. I can't even believe we just saw that. That's real. No one has ever captured anything like that.
Could they see the cameras? Oh, they just didn't give a No. One was What about the guy with the with the money? He was He was the main guy. He was the the guy calculating the money, handling the Okay. and he saw the camera and he's like, "Cool, go send them to me. Send them to me." Oh, but they wouldn't hurt us in there. There were some scissors in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes if the drug addicts they don't pay, they use the scissors to stab them. They stab the drug addicts that don't pay. Anyways, uh yeah, this is some I definitely some I'm feeling something. I'm feeling something. I do not recommend drugs, kids. All right? If you're watching this anywhere on social media, don't do, okay? your life will get ruined.
All right, boys. So, apparently they can smell the on me. I have no idea what smells like. Uh I was walk I was in there locked in on kind of protecting the camera and making sure we got the shot. But I'm supposed to spray myself now with perfume cuz everyone can smell the coming. I have no idea what that means. I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. I'm simply trying to capture a story here for you and I'm spraying the Muslim way. You know, all of you shower with it. This is the walk around and your aura is all perfume. Hopefully I don't smell like anymore. I'm going to show you guys what goes on if you just walking in solo through here at night. How much different it is with the closed fencing user. the closed fencing and it's like a much smaller narrow gateway. Everything is shut down and commerce flows through this building which we've already shown you guys every single floor of it. There's bags being brought in right there. Massive massive bags being brought in. I don't know if I was supposed to capture that. I don't know if I was supposed to capture
