The community is very strong and there are a lot of opportunities for immigrants and teens. Not only that, there are various shops and restaurant that I enjoy. I especially love to drink the boba milk tea and reading books in the library.
Chinatown is a neighborhood that consists of markets, gift shops, restaurants, dessert places, and a huge public park. Every morning, I see rushing Chinese people getting their groceries and rushing to their jobs which is reflective of the markets in China. Because I was born in China, I know the similarities and differences. Chicago Chinatown is more clean than CHinese markets because the ones in China have live animals and vegetables right from the garden. The cuisine there is amazing and desserts are wonderful as well. Pingtom Park allows visitors an amazing scenery of the Chicago Skyline, Chicago River, and nature. Anybody who comes here will enjoy their time.
Chicago Chinatown must poplar is dim sum. Dim sum is the Chinese morning tea and it tastes good. And there have a small outdoor mall call "Chinatown Square". Chinatown Square has many types of restaurants includes Chinese foods (has many kids favorite type), Japan food, and Korean foods. But one thing is hard to find the parking spot, especially for free parking. Two important things I want to change is increasing more responsible policemen can help the citizen and decreasing the crime rate because there are so many theives and robbery.
