As far as I remember, Chinatown seems to be in all over the world. No matter which country I go, I always spot Chinatown and Chinatown seems like a whole other world and not surprisingly it does exist right in the middle of Sydney.
If you are a tourist or an international student, Chinatown should be in your to-visit list as it can be exciting and rewarding experience.
The food in Chinatown is really good and in my opinion eating out is really reasonable when it comes to price. Not only the food but Chinatown also offer some of the best festivals and history.
You can find a lot of markets and shops if you want to bring some souvenir when going back home for vacation, all you need to do is walk on the street as you can see rows of shops on both side of the road. Too bad when I went Chinatown it was almost evening and it was time to shut down the shops for the day.
