If I were to introduce Chinatown to a friend I would say that Chinatown is where everyone would treat each other as family and spread our culture around the town.
Chinatown is very festive, so they would have red and gold banners, cultural building structure, and more, everywhere in stores and outside. They would have a detailed arch way of a dragon right in front of Chinatown for good fortune on your way in. They would also have red lanterns hanging around China wishing everyone good health, fortune, good education, etc.
Once you enter Chinatown you would be hit by a strong breeze of different food shops like, Dim sum, Boba Tea (milk tea), noodles, and more!
Then there would be different stores with cute plushies, and a market that sells food, or restaurants! Each store would treat you like close family so don't be shy to start a conversation!
The food at Chinatown is so phenomenal that each flavor will melt on your tongue and sink into your body, tasting every ingredient! Each food would be Chinese cultural food that they want you to feel like you are in China! Also in each restaurant they would have menus outside their windows so you can see what you would want to eat before going in, or see what they have!
Then you would see a store that would sell clothes, toys, etc. One store would sell clothes that are comfortable and soft as silk sheets. They would have some outside for people to see before going in!
Another store would sell toys, plushies, and keychains. They are so adorable! It's like they just came out of a cute cartoon! Each plushie is so fluffy, it's like you are petting a ginormous fluffy dog! Each of these toys, plushies, etc, would remind you that it is like China. They would always have these displayed outside where it is visible for people to see!
There would also be jewelry stores that sell jade bracelets and pendants that would protect you from bad luck and the pendants you can choose which design you like! They mostly have your Chinese spirit animal to represent you!
There would also be markets with fresh fruits and vegetables on tables outside of the markets making people go in and check inside! Their fruits are filled with such flavor and juice that just slivers its way down into your body.
Mind you that some people would give you an apple on the streets outside markets. Don't be scared to take the apple, they just want to wish you better health. You would also see people sitting on colorful stools outside some stores laughing together like if they were family.
Also China town is a place to remind everyone about China even though it's not in China.Chinatown is a wonderful place where they spread their culture and have a good time with friends and family, they are not just there to make money.
