This corner of multi-cultural Johannesburg has, over the years, attracted immigrants from the Far East who have introduced a colourful array of restaurants and shops to the area. From hair salons to gift shops, supermarkets and grocers, Chinatown offers an exciting selection of exotic shopping alternatives to Johannesburgers. Browse around for silk purses and kimonos and be carried away to a different part of the world with the sounds of oriental languages and music. An educational experience for all children, it is also pleasurable for parents.
