Chinatown


Sydney's Chinatown is a colourful mixture of Asian culture, shopping and cuisine. The area's distinctly oriental architecture, street lanterns and archways confirm it as a master piece for Australian Chinese culture. In a past decade , Chinatown has extended from the bounds of Dixon , Hay and  Sussex Streets to encompass a much larger area bounded by George Street in the east and Darling Harbour in the west. To get there, people just need to walk around 15 minutes from Central railway station or use the light rail service from Central Station and stop in Haymarket.

Chinatown also hosts a numberof performances throughout the year in line with the Chinese calender celebrations. Sydney's Chinese New Year Festival is held in Chinatown over 3 weeks in february and is one of the largest and most spectacular Lunar New Year celebrations outside Asia
