    Manchester’s Chinatown lies in the very heart of the city in the area that could generally be called Piccadilly - its not far from the gardens with the water fountains. The Chinese community settling here was a natural expansion from nearby Liverpool and since the late 1940's numbers have increased and with them the number of restaurants in this area - really spoilt for choice here.

    Manchester's Chinatown is located in a square bounded by York Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street and Mosley Street. It not only contains many Chinese Restaurants, but Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean and other Pan-Asian restaurants, shops, bakeries and supermarkets, most of which have their main trading times on Sunday mornings.

    Chinatown is dominated by the Imperial Chinese Archway, a gift to the City from the Chinese people, (pictured right), the only one in Europe, and even more decorative than that found in San Francisco

    In 1987 the Duke of Edinburgh unveiled the replica Ming Dynasty Imperial Arch that straddles Nicholas and Faulkner Streets and from thence Manchester's Chinatown was officially recognised. Here's a detailed shot of the arch demonstrating some of its intricate carving.

    There is a Chinatown in Manchester which you can visit if you're in the mood for some great Chinese food. Check out the archway which is pretty interesting. However, I've been to better Chinatown's so if you miss it I wouldn't be too worried. It's in the same neighbourhood as the Ibis Hotel.

    Chinatown is a very small section of Manchester but nonetheless very vibrant with scores of restaurants.

    Manchester only has a small Chinatown and its Chinese Arch may not be as big as the one in Liverpool but its still pretty impressive and was crafted by Peking tradesmen skilled in this fine art.

    Personaly, I don't like chinatowns.

    I don't like how they are maintained, the smells of them..I just don't like them at all...

    BUT, some people seem to like them and Manchester has quite a big one too!
    (and one of the cleanest I've seen, so..)

    So if you want a cheap trip to China in one of the largest Chinatowns in the world..

    (Nickie also says there are quite a few good restaurants including the world famous Yang Sing restaurant, so wander about and see if anything takes your fancy!

    The website is very compelte if you need more info

    The magnificent Chinese Arch (see photo) standing proudly over Faulkner Street, shows the importance of Chinatown for Manchester. The arch, the first true Imperial Chinese arch erected in Europe, looks as though it might have stood there for a hundred years. Yet it has been there merely since 1987 and Chinatown is still less than thirty years old.
    You really should try and visit the 4 intersecting streets that make up Manchester's Chinatown. Go for a walk, have a meal, just go there and soak up that wonderful atmosphere.

    China Town in Manchester is not as big as the one in London but it is worth a visit to see the chinese arch there are also many restraunts in the area offering good deals on lunch and dinner.
