The Chinese neighborhood in Los Angeles is not called Chinatown.✨
⛅️ Last Saturday, my friend took me to explore a Chinese enclave in Monterey Park, Los Angeles. This place is traditionally known as a Chinese town, where you can find establishments such as Dahua Supermarket, Peninsula Seafood, San Wo Roast Meat, Dongting Spring Restaurant, a Japanese discount store, milk tea shops, tea houses, optical stores, and dried goods stores. It is a popular destination for Chinese leisure, entertainment, and shopping, as well as a shopping center that has been loved by the Chinese community for over 30 years. Compared to the Chinese town in Phoenix, this unified square is much larger, although 99 Dahua and many service organizations and dining establishments catering to the Chinese community can also be found there.
⛅️ The key is that there are many, many Chinese people living in this unified square, just like Flushing in New York, right? If the residents of Chinatown are mostly elderly Chinese immigrants from Fuzhou, then Flushing and Monterey Park should belong to the gathering places of new immigrants.
⛅️ At first, I thought this place was Chinatown in Los Angeles, but my friend said that it might be because it is older, and Chinatown in Los Angeles is currently quite deserted. Young people prefer coming here.
⛅️ Since we didn't have specific plans for shopping, we casually strolled through a dried goods store and bought some chopsticks and nylon shopping bags at the Japanese store. We also bought some groceries and Chinese specialties at 99 Dahua... My friend treated me to Wuxi Xiaolongbao, and we avoided the rush hour. We only started heading home after 8 o'clock. According to my phone's navigation, it would only take 41 minutes, and it didn't seem too far from the "suburban" area where we live.
