Most Chinese immigrants to the United States have a unique affection and strong interest in elements of Chinese culture. Especially as a symbolic cultural architecture of Chinese culture—Chinatown has become a necessary place for every Chinese person. Worldway's immigration experts will take you to experience the Chinese culture in the top ten Chinatowns in the United States.
Chinatown is a city within a city. Once you step inside, you will enjoy a sensory feast: vibrant ambiance, unique architectural styles, captivating music, and mouth-watering cuisine... With its unique cultural charm, Chinatown attracts countless visitors.
San Francisco Chinatown
Located in San Francisco, Chinatown is the first and largest Chinese settlement in the United States. Chinese immigrants began settling here as early as the 1850s, and today it has become a center of Chinese culture overseas. Try the egg tarts from Golden Gate Bakery, visit the fragrant tea house, and savor authentic Chinese dishes at Hunan Family Restaurant, bringing a sense of home to you.
New York Chinatown
Crossing through the Fifth Avenue department store in New York to the fresh food market in Chinatown feels like a time-traveling journey. Standing on the crowded streets of Chinatown and looking back at the Empire State Building gives you a sense of time and space distortion. Everywhere you see Chinese signs, constantly reminding you that, although you can buy Chinese souvenirs from street vendors, this is the real Chinese community. Jin Feng Restaurant offers delicious shrimp dumplings, almond tofu, and turnip cakes, while the flavors of ramen and fried noodles are equally delightful.
Chicago Chinatown
This community of over 7,000 people was established in 1905 and has a history of over 100 years. The red gate welcomes visitors from all over the world. Whether it’s the beautiful museum in Chicago, the specialty store Ten Ren Tea, or various unique delicacies, they all attract people to return. The old Sichuan family restaurant offers the most authentic Sichuan dish—spicy chicken, which has become the most popular Chinese takeout among Americans.
Seattle Chinatown
Seattle's Chinatown is an international community that blends multiple cultures. Chinese laborers arrived here in the 1860s. Hing Hay Park and the Louisa Hotel regularly host cultural events. At Mike's Noodle House, you can taste authentic congee, noodles, and wontons. For those who love spicy food, the Red Lantern Restaurant is a must-visit. In some traditional bakeries, you can enjoy delicious snacks like cream puffs, sesame balls, and custard buns.
Philadelphia Chinatown
As early as the beginning of the 19th century, merchants from Guangdong opened businesses at the Philadelphia docks. However, it wasn't until the 1960s that this Chinese community began to flourish. The area is small but conveniently located. Grocery stores, porcelain shops, and restaurants are abundant. The most popular dishes among locals are Peking duck and wontons from the Four Rivers Restaurant.
Honolulu Chinatown
Honolulu's Chinatown took shape in the 1960s and is a melting pot of Asian merchants. Koreans, Thais, Filipinos, and Japanese all reside here. During the day, merchants and tourists flock here, and unique tropical fruits and seafood are quickly sold out; at night, various clubs and bars open, adding endless charm to the night.
Boston Chinatown
Boston's Chinatown is located in the city center, just a few blocks from Boston Common. A giant stone lion stands at the entrance, almost becoming the most distinctive landmark here. As the only Chinatown in New England, it gathers various Chinese restaurants, specialty shops, and luxury residences. Don't rush to leave; American dishes from all over China are waiting for you to taste.
Los Angeles Chinatown
Although most Chinese immigrants live in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Chinatown here is still worth a visit. It is close to downtown and located next to Route 66, with convenient transportation. Lanterns of all sizes are scattered throughout, creating a unique landscape. Of course, the food here is also famous, with Yangzhou fried rice, strawberry cake, and various snacks waiting for you to try.
Washington Chinatown
Chinese immigrants moved here in the 1930s and later migrated in large numbers to the suburbs of Washington. Compared to many other places, Chinatown here is small, with no open-air markets and no bustling crowds. Although it may not be as popular as others, the street performances and affordable Chinese cuisine here are quite enjoyable. Ming's Restaurant offers generous portions, and Mongolian barbecue is also very popular.
Worldway's immigration experts analyze: Most people immigrate to the United States not only for its superior living environment but also for its soft environment, especially advanced educational resources. The EB-5 investment immigration program in the United States is popular due to its simple application requirements and short processing time. One application allows the whole family to immigrate. After obtaining a green card, you can freely enter and exit the United States and reside and work anywhere in the country without immigration monitoring.
The key to successful EB-5 investment immigration in the United States lies in choosing the right project. In the fiscal year 2015, U.S. investment immigration will face significant events such as the arrival of visa backlogs, a surge in applications, and the expiration of the regional center program, which may likely increase investment amounts. Therefore, choosing an EB-5 project that has been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services becomes the best option to cope with uncertainties. The Pennsylvania Turnpike project and the New York Liberty Garden luxury apartment project launched by Worldway are both high-quality EB-5 projects pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
