A Message from the President and Vice President of Chinatown Precinct Association Inc
Welcome To Melbourne Chinatown.
Melbourne’s Chinatown has been an integral part of Melbourne since the goldrush days of the 1850s. It is one of Melbourne’s distinctive and iconic precincts, and importantly, the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the Western World.
Chinatown Melbourne is dominated by restaurants from fine dining to lane way and arcade noodle houses, and is home to a number of Asian grocery stores, Chinese medicine and herbalist centres, bookstores, fashion boutiques and other selected retailers in arcades.
Chinatown is also home to some of the best accommodation you will find in Melbourne.
True to its name and predominantly of Chinese ethnicity, you will find Melbourne’s Chinatown is truly cosmopolitan, offering a myriad of cuisines like Thai, Japanese, Indian, Malaysian, Vietnamese, Korean, and contemporary Euro-Australian to tempt you. You will discover some great Karaoke places and small intimate laneway bars too.
And of course, Chinatown Melbourne has the World’s Largest Dragon on display at the 22 Cohen Place, Melbourne (Chinese Museum). The Millennium Dai Loong Dragon goes out on Parades in the streets of Melbourne, twice a year – during the Chinese New Year Festivities and the Moomba Parade celebrations (www.melbournedailoong.com.au)
Chinatown Precinct Association Inc was the recognized Precinct Representative Organization in promoting the Chinatown area from February 1998 to 30 June 2022, with the Executive Committee of Management Members retiring from organizing all promotional activities.
