Detailed description (Chinatown)

Montreal's chinatown is relatively small but is still interesting. The best way to visit chinatown is by foot, actually you don't really have any choice since the most interesting street, La Gauchetière street, is a pedestrian street (ie. closed to traffic). There are many restaurants on that streets and some souvenir shops. St-Laurent street south of René-Lévesque blvd. is also interesting for its restaurants and food markets. You should read the walking tour section for more indications. The other main street in chinatown is St-Laurent boulevard, it's where you will find most chinese food markets. For more information on Chinatown, including a short history, you should visit the city of Montreal's site or the Tourism Montreal site.
