China Chinatown
At the eastern end of Calgary, there is a small town of China with about 2,000 residents. Immigrants from China came to Calgary to participate in railway construction in 1880, and then stayed here to set up imported food markets, restaurants and import shops. White people in China were infected with smallpox, so local officials forced China to narrow the streets and set up obvious signs. There are museums and art galleries in the center, showing the history of China culture, as well as gift shops and restaurants.
China is the second largest China city in North America after China. The high proportion of Chinese residents in Vancouver and the attraction of China culture make China City one of the busiest areas in downtown Vancouver.
