A Chinatown is a section of an urban area with a large number of Chinese residents, usually outside of Greater China. Chinatowns are present throughout the world, including those in East Asia, Southeast Asia, North America, South America, Australasia, and Europe.

In Korea, Nowadays, you can easily see or meet many Chinese in Korea or your country.

There are many Chinatowns around world, but I think that every china town has its own culture and characteristics, because people who live in China town have adapted their selves to a new environment

For example, Jjajangmyeon is one of very famous and favorite food in Korea

And many people believe that the food came from china town in Inchon

It is true its origin, but the food is not traditional Chinese food

It is Korean food which made from Chinese who lived in Korea
