Portland Sights

Chinatown Gate Review

Recognizable by its 5 roofs, 64 dragons, and 2 huge lions, the Chinatown Gate is the official entrance to the Chinatown District. During the 1890s Portland had the second-largest Chinese community in the United States. Today's Chinatown has shrunk to a handful of blocks with a few shops, grocery stores, and so-so restaurants (there are better places for Chinese food outside the district).
