Montreal's Chinatown
Like I said before, I always enjoy visiting Chinatowns: I often shop at the one in Ottawa, and I like hanging out at the Toronto one.
Montreal’s Chinatown (蒙特利尔唐人街) is quite small: it’s mostly one pedestrian street with an arch and many little shops and restaurants along the narrow alley, parallel to the René Levesque boulevard. It seemed to be a tight-knit community: I saw many posters advertising for activities, as well as a few associations headquarters.
You can see the full set of the pictures taken in Montreal here.

Every countries I visited we always make it a point to visit Chinatown and interesting to note there’s bond to have a Chinese Gate along one of the street
Did you enjoy eating the wanton noodles?
I always love your gritty shots of cities. This Chinatown is different from what I am used to, most of the time, Chinatown for me is chaotic, full of people, and busy, like the ones in Osaka and Manila. But the only time I saw a rather tranquil Chinatown was in Portland, OR.

Very nice captures of the Chinatown, and very colourful too! Interesting observations too.
