Chinatown, Chinese neighborhood in Boston, United States
The third largest Chinese district in the United States sits between Boston Common and South End, featuring narrow streets filled with markets and restaurants.
Chinese immigrants first settled in Boston during the 1870s, establishing laundries on Harrison Avenue before opening the first restaurant, Hong Far Low, in 1875.
The neighborhood maintains its Asian identity with 70 percent of residents being of Asian descent, compared to nine percent in the broader Boston population.
The district connects to public transportation through Orange Line stations at Chinatown and Tufts Medical Center, with South Station providing additional transit options.
The district features a traditional gate at Beach Street intersection, donated by Taiwan in 1982, displaying carved inscriptions of traditional values.
