Montréal - Chinatown

Montréal's Chinatown is centered around the Rue de la Gauchetière, with two Chinese arches marking the heart of the quarter. This dates from the late 1860s when many of the Chinese laborers who had come to work in the mines and on building the railroad moved into the cities in search of a better life. Today's Chinatown is no longer exclusively Chinese but a place where anyone can relax and enjoy a good meal.
