Could You Survive a Week in the Densest Place on Earth?

No sunlight. Eight water pipes for 33,000 people. A whole street of unlicensed dentists. And jumbo jets roaring a few floors above your bed. Hong Kong, 1989. Tiny Timewalker moves into the Kowloon Walled City, the most crowded place humans have ever lived, for one week: he gets lost in the dark maze, carries water up eight floors, runs away from a dentist's drill, rolls fishballs in a hidden factory, gets invited to dinner by the neighbours, and finally climbs to the roof, right under the planes landing at Kai Tak.
