This article deals with Chinatown as it relates to NationStates. For more general information, please see the Wikipedia article on the subject.

The term "Chinatown" most often refers to a street or city district inhabited mainly by people of Chinese descent, or occasionally other Asians. Chinatowns may be found in many nations, and are often culturally distinct from neighbouring areas.


Notable Chinatowns

Aerigia

There is a Chinatown in Aden, Aerigia, which is notable for its fairly cheap ethnic food.

Ariddia

Chinatown in Rêvane, Ariddia, offers many pleasant strolls, museums, restaurants and architectural points of interest. There is also a very small Chinatown in Cité-Belle.

Fbrenia

The city of Uket has a small Chinatown.

Halandra

The Chinatown district in Valerius, Halandra boasts a population of some 50,000 ethnic Chinese, and a neighbouring ethnic Japanese neighbourhood has an estimated population of about 43,000. Since the late 1980s, the high levels of affluence and cultural assimilation among the Asian-Halandrian communities has led to a quickening diaspora, scattering Asian-Halandrans to different parts of the country.

Liamton

Liamton has an entire area known as Chinatown, which is highly urbanised and plagued by high levels of crime.

Nimzonia

The now defunct city of Koenberg had a large Chinatown.

Tabuu

The Asiantown district in Bombay, Tabuu, was formerly known as Chinatown. It is home to 90,000 people and numbers several Buddhist temples, restaurants, herbal-medicine shops and Japanese tea houses.

Wulaishen

Chinatown in Nahai Vishnu City, Wulaishen, is reputed for its culture, its cuisine and its overall architectural beauty.
