The Chinese Arch at the entrance to Liverpool's Chinatown. It was opened in 2000 when it became the largest memorial arch outside mainland China

Chinese artwork bove one of the many chinese restaurants.
|
Even the lamposts are ornately decorated.
|
Chinatown is the only area of Liverpool where the street names are printed in Chinese as well as English.
|
However local signs are mostly in Chinese.
|
All the decoration used on the Arch was made in Shanghai.
|
Liverpool has one of the largest and oldest chinese communities in Europe.

Wow, looks a lot like China town here in Philly. Love the dragon in #3, he looks like the dragon at Longwood Gardens! Great shots!
