The Chinese first migrated to Sydney in the mid 1850s, settling in The Rocks area and then relocating to what is now known as Sydney’s Chinatown. This vibrant and colourful gathering place for the Chinese community remains centred on Dixon Street and the Haymarket area, with its mixture of asian culture, shopping and cuisine.
Chinatown is very popular at Chinese New Year (around late Jan, early Feb), when celebrations take place over several weeks, including the Chinese New Year Parade.
