Buenos Aires' Chinatown | A tourist attraction in Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Buenos Aires Chinatown is located in the porteño neighborhood of Belgrano and, although it
is only two blocks long, it is an important tourist spot.
This two block area is not officially a neighborhood but it is called Chinatown because its many
shops sell a great variety of merchandise and offer many different services and typical oriental
gastronomy.
+ BUENOS AIRES CHINATOWN: THE DOOR
As is the case in many world capitals, people enter the Chinatown in Buenos Aires through a great
arc or door. The impressive Buenos Aires door was installed in 2009 on the corners of Arribeños
and Juramento streets. The door is eleven meters tall, eight meters wide and contains many
symbols of Chinese culture, including guardian dragons at the top.

On each side of the great door are beautiful lions. These lions have become the preferred spot for
those who desire to make a wish or a promise or just to have their picture taken.

On the left just behind one of the lions is a marble plaque commemorating the gift of the arc from
the Chinese community to the Argentine people in gratitude for their generosity and as a symbol
of the friendship between the two people.
+ WHAT IS CHINATOWN LIKE?
On weekends the streets are crowded with Argentine and international tourists as well as
members of the Chinese community in Argentina. This Chinatown area includes Arribeños
between Juramento and Olazábal and Mendoza between Montañeses and the General Bartolomé
Mitre railway tracks (just meters from the Belgrano C Station).
