Introduction

Boston's Chinatown is the largest Chinese community in Massachusetts and the hub of Chinese culture in New England, just south of the downtown Theater District. Centered on Beach Street, it is packed with Cantonese dim sum, Sichuan hotpot and Asian groceries; the 'Tian Xia Wei Gong' arch and festival lion dances keep traditions alive. Only a block from Boston Common, it is a great spot for Asian food and community energy.
