Washington's Chinatown was formed in 1851 and has a long history. It is a historical district with rich Chinese traditions in Washington DC. Among them, the eye-catching wooden archway is officially named "Friendship Archway". In Chinatown, there are not only many Chinese restaurants, but also many Asian-style restaurants, which are crowded and lively all day long.

A very beautiful place in Washington, which is also one of the largest Chinese communities in the United States. Chinatown is also a good place for many international students to like. You can see a lot of relatively low prices.
Washington's Chinatown is also relatively large in the United States, and it is also a very Chinese place. I feel that Cantonese can work here. There are many Chinese restaurants and many travel teams will come here to visit.
The Chinese are indeed powerful, both in the United States and Japan, and Chinatown. However, San Francisco is indeed the starting point for Chinese early arrivals in the United States, so the Chinese street is large and in the downtown area. Bush & Grant( My English name) Street intersection, with a "world is public" archway, is a symbol of Chinatown. The whole street seems to make people think that in Hong Kong, it should be the majority of Cantonese!
Washington also has a Chinatown, the city gate is a wooden archway with Chinese characteristics, even the zebra crossing on the ground also gives the Chinese element of the zodiac, the city looks not many Chinese, the streets are not as clean and orderly as other places in the special zone. After dinner, we passed by the hot stone pizza restaurant, I don't know what the situation, it seems that there is no fire or smoke, but the fire truck came 4 police cars came 3 cars, such policing costs do not know who to pay for? !
CHINA TOWN, The emptiness of the roadside flag sail is like traditional Chinese paper cutting, and the house number is also very Chinese. It is indeed a Chinese city and there are hand-picked. The posture is coming: Chinatown was formed in 1851, and in May 1984, Washington and Beijing became friendly cities. As a gift, the Beijing Municipal Government specially sent people, at a cost of millions of dollars, at the junction of 7th Street and H Street, to build a wooden structure with Chinese characteristics, the official name of the "Friendship Archway", by the then Mayor of Beijing Chen Xi wrote the name of the building. The three words "Chinatown" on the plaque are from the hand of the famous calligrapher Wu Zuoren. One of the famous tourist attractions in the United States.
After a circle of the White House, I returned to Chinatown and walked through this very distinctive zebra crossing, 12 zodiacs. The capital Washington is still quite safe. There are many people on the road at 9 o'clock in the evening. Maybe on the weekend, it is very lively. There are more black people than white people. Fortunately, there are more police cars on the roadside.
