Colorful neon signs are lighted at Hong Kong's Wan Chai red light district Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014. For generations of Western men, Hong Kongâs Wan Chai neighborhood captured all the mystery and hedonism of this financial capital known around the world as the Pearl of the Orient. Prostitutes, strippers and bar girls entertained visiting sailors and businessmen at all hours in these neon-filled blocks, even as working-class Hong Kongers went about their business in the streets around them.
