Chinatown designated district outside of China, where most people of Chinese descent live and work. Chinese often choose the term Tang ren jie.
In the past, the term had a negative connotation, because in Chinatowns often prevailed hygienic and structural ills. Chinatowns are subject for a long time a conversion process. The assimilation of the Asian population in many countries, leading to the gentrification of the formerly unified district. Some Chinatowns are popular tourist destinations today.
As the oldest separate Chinese district shall Shinchimachi in Nagasaki ( Japan ), and Yaowarat Road in Bangkok ( Thailand ), which established Chinese traders more than 200 years ago. The Chinatown in Melbourne ( Melbourne Chinatown ) was established in 1854 during the Victorian gold rush set up and is the longest continuously active Chinatown outside of Asia.
The Hokkien and Teochew (both groups, the Minnan sub-group of Chinese dialects speak) are common to the Cantonese are the dominant group in Southeast Asian Chinatowns, such as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Hakka built in Africa, for example, Mauritius, in Latin America and the Caribbean Chinatowns. Chinese from the north settled in Korea in the 1940s on. In Europe, the first Chinese were seafarers and port workers. Because of this, there were the first Chinatowns there in port cities such as Hamburg, Germany. France has received most of the first Chinese immigrants workers, mainly from Wenzhou. Furthermore, there is also Chinatowns in the Indian cities such as Kolkata and Mumbai.
Historical Chinatowns with large entrance gates that were built on the access roads and buildings and temples in traditional Chinese architecture are considered as the typical image of a city Chinatown. Most Chinatowns are the result of chaotic development, rarely districts, such as in Seoul, planned to be created. Traditionally, they reach a high population density and are socially, culturally and economically partially autonomous from the rest of the city. Traditions, such as the Chinese New Year celebrations, language and religions will continue unchanged. In some cities, even bilingual road signs were introduced in Chinatowns. It is dominated by Asian restaurants, snack bars, shops and small industries. The informal sector is an important economic activity.
The social conditions are fundamentally different in the various cities, regions and continents. Nowadays causes an increasing assimilation that many district lose their uniform Chinese characteristics and population. The result is a gentrification. Some Chinatowns have evolved into modern quarters with fully developed infrastructure and a strong economy, but equally there are many poor Chinatowns who suffer from devastating grievances. Tourism has many places greatly improved the quality of life in the neighborhoods. However, he also leads to distortion and artificial exaggeration Asian accents.
Since at least 1000 years bridges in Asia and South America are formed over narrow gorges of plant fibers as suspension bridges, the last remaining functioning of this type is the suspension bridge Qu'eswachaka, it consists entirely of grass. From the large number of historic bridges in China only a few examples can be mentioned. Built in 584 Xiaoshang Bridge already used a segmental arch with mounted diffusers to reduce the water resistance. 605 AD by Li Chun known to Ji-Qiao (also called Zhaozhou Bridge) over the Chiao-Shui River in the southern province of Hebei as flat segmental arch bridge of having an internal diameter of 37.5 m at a sagitta seven meters built. Siese considerably more tensioned bridge has two openings at both ends. The slightly curved bridge deck gives it an elegant look. The Yongtong Bridge (1190-1195) is similar to the much older Anji Bridge, but was after its completion with a series of bas-reliefs decorated.
The Dongjin Bridge in Ganzhou, province of Jiangxi is one of several pontoon bridges in China. 806 AD which was Baodai Bridge in Suzhou (Jiangsu) first built, which was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt and whose current building dates with numerous brick arches from 1446. The Luoyang Bridge (1053-1059) is the oldest, still existing stone slab bridge in China. However, the longest with over 2000 m slab bridge in China is the built 1138-1151 Anping Bridge (also called Wuli Bridge) in Jinjiang (Quanzhou) in Fujian. 1170 518 m long was Guangji Bridge (also Xiangzi Bridge) in Chaozhou, Guangdong completed, which was carried out in part as a pontoon bridge to open it for vessel traffic can.
