    Well, it's really large and very colourful. It's a bit oversized in my opinion, as the Chinese quarter itself doesn't look so large really. I like the fact, that all street signs around here are in Chinese too, and that all ticketing boxes and phone boxes are in a Chinese style as well.

    Chinatown: The oldest Chinatown in Europe
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Chinatown district around Berry street is no more that two or three roads, but it does contain an assortment of Chinese resturants (no surprise there), a pub 'The Nook' , and from the year 2000 a massive ceremonial arch. Some claim this arch is the most impressive outside of China, it is certainly alot more imposing that the one in London's Chinatown.

    This district is in fact the second Chinatown in Liverpool, the original stemming from around the 1870's was nearer the port area.

    The Chinese Arch was a Liverpool initiative completed in 2000 and built by craftsmen of Liverpool's sister city - Shanghai. It is reportedly the biggest Chinese Arch outside of Asia.

    It is the gateway to China Town's many restaurants and Chinese monuments and art.

    China Town can get quiet, but it is worth checking out for the Chinese New Year, there are many events in the street, fire crackers, and also craft events like Chinese writing workshops, free acupuncture and insights into Chinese history, food and medicines as well as a not so Chinese funfair!

    Chinatown: CHINATOWN
  • Tip Rating:
  • Liverpool has one of the oldest established Chinese communities in Europe (The first wave of Chinese immigrants arrived in 1866. There was a line of steamers with a direct connection from Liverpool to China!).

    That's why there is a wonderful Chinatown area full of interesting features such as Asian style lampposts, litter boxes, parking ticket machines (my favourite :), street signs etc etc. See my travelogue for pics!

    There's also the Europe's biggest Chinese arch in Liverpool! And it's not only big - it's colourful and beautiful as well!

    I have read that the archway was placed and designed with all Feng Shui rules in mind. In 2000 it was imported piece by piece from Shanghai, China - Liverpool's twin city - and erected at Nelson Street.

    See more pics of the archway in my travelogue!

    Chinatown: One of Europe's oldest Chinatowns

  • The Chinese Arch of Liverpool - Liverpool
    The Chinese Arch of
    Liverpool

    Liverpool has a quite large Asian community, many of it settling around the spectacular Chinese Arch in Chinatown. The area along Nelson Street does look English - however, with a Chinese touch: The street signs are in two languages, many of the shops and restaurants bear Chinese names, the parking ticket machines are designed to look somewhat Asian and much more. The main hint that you are in a Chinese neigbourhood, however, is the spectacular Arch. Opened only in 2000 during the Chinese New Year celebrations, it has become one of the most interesting sights of the city. Moreover, it is the largest arch of its kind outside China!
    Take a look at the fine carvings which shimmer in the sunlight. All of them were made in Shanghai and then transported to England.
    For some more impressions of Liverpool's Chinatown check out my travelogue!

  • The structure of the Arch is amazing - it's the biggest arch outside China and represtents the oldest chinese comunity in the UK.
    I strongly recomend a stroll to this place and just take a look to the chinatown - it's not that different from others, but the arch is beautiful, with it's 15 meters tall, the ornate Dragons and the 5 roofs, make this place a must.

  • This gotta be one of the more disappointing Chinatown that I have been to.

    Although I was there at about 3pm, there was hardly a single soul around.

    All the restuarants owners seemed be hiding in their shops sleeping or playing mahjong.

  • This is the gateway to Liverpool's Chinatown. Not the most exciting of Chinatowns, but it has some nice little touches as well as the usual array of restaurants etc. This arch is pretty impressive, but plans are afoot to build the biggest chinese arch outside of China here!
