The first Chinese restaurant opened in Manchester in 1948 and within a decade there were already another 16 that had opened - the wheels for Manchester's thriving Chinatown district were now truly in motion.
The Ming Dynasty Imperial Arch was the first of its kind to be built in Europe in 1987 and was constructed with pieces shipped from China, and assembled by a team from Beijing. Look closely and you'll see so much detail on the huge arch, with dragons, phoenixes, colours and symbols of luck and prosperity.
You won't be short of authentic cuisine around here!
