Sample China in Manchester

Sample China in Manchester
For a taste of the Far East in the north-west why not visit Manchester's Chinatown district?

Located in the heart of the city centre near Piccadilly Gardens, visitors will be able to sample a wide range of cuisine from the various restaurants, supermarkets and take-aways on offer.

And despite its name, Chinatown offers food from more than just one country - Thai, Nepalese, Japanese and Italian are just some of the other nationalities options can sample.

Tourists can also not afford to miss the Imperial Chinese Archway - a gift to Manchester from the Chinese authorities - the arch is painted in beautiful red and gold and is decorated with ceramics.

Meanwhile, those on the hunt for some Chinese culture may wish to visit the Chinese Arts Centre.

Established in 1986, the gallery displays a number of works from British born and international contemporary Chinese artists, in addition to an education suite, resource area, shop and teahouse.

Those wishing to further cram in some culture during their visit to the northern city can also visit Urbis and Manchester Art Gallery.
