Chinatown

Thirteen Streets of Authentic Asian Food and Shopping

Description

Spanning 13 streets between George Street and Darling Harbour, Sydney's bustling Chinatown sprawls with a cacophony of color and sound to delight any visitor. Asian eateries serve up authentic dishes, often until the wee hours of the morning, while groceries cater to those looking for anything from dried mushrooms to pressed duck, and souvenir shops and boutiques offer unique gifts and apparel. Originally, Sydney's Chinese population settled in The Rocks, but moved to this location in the early 1900s, bringing with them the shops and restaurants that make it such a unique place today. Don't miss Paddy's Market, or the bright, new Market City, two mainstays of the area. The Asian Food Court inside Market City is especially popular, with loads of options, and 600 seats that easily fill each day at lunch.
