Sydney's Chinatown, the largest in Australia

The Chinese are millions and millions in their own country but they are among the communities that have emigrated the most throughout history. It is that life in China has never been easy and during the time of the emperors in reality many people were poor and peasant and left the country in search of a better future. The strange thing about the Chinese case is that it is not a community that is open to the cultural traditions of the adopted country and, although they have left their own country behind, generations pass and, except for exceptions, all remain closely linked and settled in the same neighborhood or the same activity.

In the case of the Chinese community in Sydney she is concentrating on him Barrio chino. This neighborhood is in the financial district of the city, in Haymarket, between Darling Harbor and Central Station, and is the largest Chinatown in the entire country. In the 20th century the community was not right here but in the area known as The Rocks. Later it was the move and by the XNUMXs it was already settled in these streets with their typical restaurants, shops, temples and doors so typical that they always characterize all the Chinese neighborhoods of the world.

It is true that the Chinese have their mafias but in the case of Chiantown in Sydney there are not many crimes or mafias or hygiene problems, another of the things that this community is criticized for. Over the years the neighborhood has had "children" and today there are mini Chinatown in neighborhoods around Sydney like Parramatta or Flemington.
