Victoria - Chinatown

Adjoining the Old Town to the north is Victoria's small but nevertheless charming Chinatown. Entered through a conspicuous red gate it occupies just two blocks close to Government Street and Fishgard Street. A century ago, 8000 people lived in the Chinese quarter. In 1971 it became a designated historic district with Chinese-style elements, such as tile red street lamps and specially paved sidewalk crosswalks added.
