Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Washington's Chinatown was formed in 1851 and has a long history. It is a historical district with rich Chinese traditions in Washington DC. Among them, the eye-catching wooden archway is officially named "Friendship Archway". In Chinatown, there are not only many Chinese restaurants, but also many Asian-style restaurants, which are crowded and lively all day long. Whenever the traditional Chinese New Year and Spring Festival are held, there are also traditional dragon and lion dances and other celebrations here, and the overseas Chinese gather here.

A very beautiful place in Washington, which is also one of the largest Chinese communities in the United States. Chinatown is also a good place for many international students to like. You can see a lot of relatively low prices.
Washington's Chinatown is also relatively large in the United States, and it is also a very Chinese place. I feel that Cantonese can work here. There are many Chinese restaurants and many travel teams will come here to visit.
Chinese people are really good, whether in the United States or Japan, they see Chinatown. However, San Francisco is indeed the starting point for the early Chinese to explore the United States, so the Chinese Street here is larger and in the downtown area. Bush Grant (my English nickname) Street junction, with the "world for the public" archway, is the symbol of Chinatown. The whole street seems to make people think that in Hong Kong, there should be more people in Guangdong.
There is also a Chinese city in Washington. The gate is a wooden archway with Chinese characteristics. Even the zebra crossing on the ground gives Chinese elements to the zodiac. There are not many Chinese people in the city, and the streets are not as clean and orderly as the rest of the district. After dinner, we passed the hot stone pizza shop. Somehow, there seemed to be no smoke in sight. Four police cars came from the fire truck and three from the fire truck. No one knew who would pay for the police costs.
CHINA TOWN, The emptiness of the roadside flag sail is like traditional Chinese paper cutting, and the house number is also very Chinese. It is indeed a Chinese city and there are hand-picked. The posture is coming: Chinatown was formed in 1851, and in May 1984, Washington and Beijing became friendly cities. As a gift, the Beijing Municipal Government specially sent people, at a cost of millions of dollars, at the junction of 7th Street and H Street, to build a wooden structure with Chinese characteristics, the official name of the "Friendship Archway", by the then Mayor of Beijing Chen Xi wrote the name of the building. The three words "Chinatown" on the plaque are from the hand of the famous calligrapher Wu Zuoren. One of the famous tourist attractions in the United States.
After a circle around the White House, I went back to Chinatown and walked through this very distinctive zebra crossing, the 12 zodiac signs. Washington, the capital, is still quite safe. There are many people on the road at 9:00 p.m., maybe on weekends. It's very busy. There are more blacks than whites. Fortunately, there are more police cars on the roadside.
