Calgary Chinatown: The most 'high-end' existence among overseas Chinatowns!

I am Guan Hai Ting Tao Tour + Global Traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1756th original travel photo in 1015 cities across 57 countries/regions on 5 continents) Calgary Chinatown is located on the south bank of the Bow River in downtown Calgary, on both sides of Center St. Did you know? Chinese immigrants came to Calgary as early as 1880 to participate in local railway construction projects, and then stayed here, so Calgary's Chinatown is the earliest formed Chinatown in Canada. The landmark building of Calgary's Chinatown is the Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre, whose top is a domed building modeled after the Temple of Heaven. It is a comprehensive cultural exchange center for Chinese people in Calgary. Inside the center, there is a museum and art gallery showcasing Chinese cultural history, as well as gift shops and restaurants. This Chinatown is the most high-end overseas Chinatown I have ever seen. It is surrounded by large modern skyscrapers and many buildings and elements with Chinese characteristics, giving a very integrated feeling. Moreover, the streets here are clean and tidy, which feels pretty good. By the way, the Cantonese cuisine at Silver Dragon Restaurant Calgary is very authentic, not bad! Address: 197 1 St SW, Calgary, AB T2P 4M4
