Chinatown

Chinatown is a neighborhood within a city that historically houses a large Chinese community, featuring cultural institutions, shops, restaurants, and markets that reflect Chinese traditions and heritage. It often developed as a hub where immigrants could find support, share cultural practices, and maintain their language and customs while adapting to a new country. Today, Chinatowns also serve as vibrant tourist attractions, showcasing Chinese architecture, festivals, and cuisine, fostering cross-cultural exchange and preserving the cultural identity of Chinese communities abroad.
