The first Chinatown in Sydney was founded during the gold rush in the middle of the 19th century when thousands of Chinese immigrants populated the city. At the time, racism was still huge in Australia, so it occupied only a small area in Campbell Street. It has changed several locations over the years, and when the public and the government finally became accepting of the Chinese community, found it’s permanent location along the Dixon Street. Chinese got the support of the city to build their traditional archways, street lanterns and sculptures. Many new businesses emerged as well, including shops that offer authentic Chinese products as well as incredible restaurants.

Many believe Chinatown in Sydney offers the best Chinese food outside of China itself. Whether you want a veggie dish, choose between 20 different versions of rice or change up your breakfast, their eateries will satisfy the foodie in you. Naturally, you can’t visit a Chinatown without a bit of shopping. The stores along the streets offer everything from simple groceries, over medicinal herbs to authentic clothing. Finally, you can also catch one of their memorable events, such as Chinatown Night Market and their Chinese New Year celebrations.
