Chinatowns of the World

[Virgina Jackson]

"Chinatowns of the World" gives detailed information about the historical locations around the world.  Although the page's color aesthetic is not the most alluring, the provided information is very useful.  From history to current festivals, this website is a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in such places around the globe.  Each listed location has development history and specified attractions.

San Diego is the eighth largest city in the country, and surprisingly, there isn't a designated Chinatown in the county!  The history of Chinese people in the county is strong; however, no area in the county is officially designated.   Although I knew this prior to looking at this website, it is still a joy to be able to see a website that gives historical and contemporary aspects of such an important part of world culture.

Thanks for posting this Virgina! This is a very cool website and I definitely want to visit these Chinatowns. I thoroughly enjoy visiting Chinatown in SF and grabbing food. I had no idea there were so many Chinatowns around the country and especially around the world. Chinatown in Perth, Chinatown in Buenos Aires, and Chinatown in Brussels?! What I appreciate the most about this website though, is how when you click on one of the Chinatowns, it gives you bits of information about the specific Chinatown and some of the great things to do and visit at each one. Thanks again for sharing!
