Are there any Chinatowns in New Zealand?

Accepted answer

Kinda.

There are for example, historic 'Chinatown' settlements in some old gold mining towns, like Arrowtown.

As for a modern 'Chinatown', in my city - Christchurch, for example, there's a block in an area called Church Corner, that has a bunch of Chinese markets, restaurants and shops:

However, there are also random Korean and Filipino ones in there too. Some suburbs have a higher percentage of Chinese compared to others, but not so much a total area you'd call a 'Chinatown'.

(some seriously good food there though, in the are in the map)

This article lists the Chinatowns in New Zealand and Australia. There is one in Auckland but it quite small in comparison, only 7000m². I also couldn’t find any Chinatowns in any other places than mentioned above, so I think here’s a full list of Chinatowns in NZ:

  • Auckland

And I think that’s about it.
