A look at Oakland’s Chinatown in photos
on April 16, 2013
On weekends, shoppers fill the sidewalks of Oakland’s Chinatown to browse open air markets, gift stores, restaurants and bakeries. The neighborhood represents not only Chinese culture, but many Asian cultures, including Vietnamese, Thai, Lao, Korean, Japanese and others. Chinatown is just blocks away from the Lake Merritt BART station.

Chinatown is a pretty good community in Oakland because it’s culturally diverse. I know that when I lived in Las Vegas the locals were pretty stiff towards oriental people in the area. It’s nice to see communities really embracing different cultures like this.
