In the early days of Chinatown, it was said that there were only a few Chinese snack bars, grocery stores, societies and some homes.

Rents are soaring as business is booming.

Nowadays, there are no more houses with a shop in front and a house in the back or a shop in front and a house in the back.

The entire Chinatown is full of dazzling displays and all kinds of businesses.

There are Chinese restaurants, traditional Chinese medicine shops, commercial shops, Chinese bookstores, supermarkets, gift and jewelry shops, travel agencies, etc... Various signboards are written in eye-catching Chinese, with English below.

At both ends of Dexin Street, the center of Sydney's Chinatown, there is an exquisite and elegant Chinese-style archway with green tiles and red lattice.

The banners on the archway each have eight shining golden characters: "Tongde and Xixin" and "We are one family in the world".

On the couplets on both sides, the golden words "Virtual Industry Revives the Avenue of Clothes and Crowns of All Countries" and "Trust Trust's Outstanding Chinese Cultural Relics Spread Around the World" highlight the functions and characteristics of Sydney's China Street.

On each side of the archway squats a finely crafted bronze lion.

The tallest building in Chinatown, the "Mountain Terrace", invested and built by the Malaysian Kuok family, adds a modern touch to the simple and elegant Chinatown.

The "Mountain Terrace" is forty-five stories high and divided into two levels: residential and commercial.

The large shopping mall below contains Sydney's largest small commodity mall, as well as supermarkets, theaters, Asian food centers, entertainment centers, parking lots, etc. One of the Chinese restaurants can host a banquet for 800 people.

Above the mall are multi-story luxury residences equipped with sky gardens, tennis courts, golf courses, gyms, swimming pools, saunas, etc.

A bird's-eye view of Sydney from the "Peak Top" offers a panoramic view of the entire city.

The exchanges between Chinatown and mainstream Australian society have become increasingly closer in recent years, and have become an important part of Australia's diverse society.

Senior government officials at the federal, state, and municipal levels often visit here, eating with chopsticks and spoons, and drinking from cups.

The Chinese New Year activities in China Street are funded by the Sydney City Government.

The "Chinatown Carnival" hosted by the "Overseas Chinese Youth Society" also had immigrants from some Eastern European and Southeast Asian countries participating in the performance.

There are more and more blond customers in Chinese restaurants and shops.
