Description

Chinatown is a fascinating area to immerse yourself in another culture while visiting Houston. The district offers a full array of retail shops, restaurants, Chinese groceries, theaters, churches, temples, and the offices of the Chinese Merchants’ Association right in southwest Houston. Driving down Bellaire Blvd. between Boone and Fondren, Chinese street signs begin to emerge along side shopping centers, businesses, markets, and an abundance of restaurants to satisfy authentic Chinese food cravings. Stop for lunch, buy a few gifts, or wander around the local markets and absorb the Chinese culture that has grown up in Houston.
