Visitors who step through the distinctive gates of Chinatown Plaza pass into the exotic world of the orient. Whether by day or lantern-light night, Old Chinatown takes on the vibrant hues, sights and sounds of Hong Kong, Taiwan or Shanghai. Chinatown’s New Year Celebrations, an annual tradition since its’ opening in 1938, are spectacular. So is the fifty-foot high Golden Pagoda. Equally intriguing are the many specialty shops displaying traditional Chinese wares, imported teas, healing herbs, fine porcelain, handsome furniture, and carved jade. Restaurants and eateries serve savory regional Chinese cuisine and baked delicacies. Good luck can be found at the Seven Star Cavern Wishing Well. And there’s even a fortune teller or two.
