Chinatown

Chinatown is colourful, crowded and filled with typical aromas of the Chinese district (spices, herbs, medicines and fruit). Peoples Park Complex shopping centre is a must, especially for the crowd and all the interesting trinkets to be found. Do not miss OG People's Park which has become popular for its fashion boutiques, jewellery and cosmetics.
