  1. Chinatown

    A Chinatown is an ethnic enclave of Chinese people located outside Greater China, most often in an urban setting.

The development of most Chinatowns typically resulted from mass migration to an area without any or with very few Chinese residents. Binondo in Manila, established in 1594, is recognized as the world's oldest Chinatown.
