Chinatown, Los Angeles County, California

Downtown Los Angeles District

Chinatown, situated east of the Plaza, holds much of interest to the tourist. It lies principally along North Los Angeles
and Marchessault streets, occupying eight blocks (reached by Main-street cars). This is one of the largest Chinese quarters
outside of the Orient and offers opportunities to view Chinese life in its various phases, social, religious and commercial.
The Chinese stores, restaurants and markets, the Joss House, Temple of Worship and Shrine, are all points of interest.
The Chinese Theater is at 212 Marchessault street.
