What do you think of the other other Chinatowns, besides Binondo?

discussion

So the country has just recently celebrated CNY and Happy Chinese Year to all...

This just got me wondering...aside from Binondo, there are also other Chinatowns across the nation and I'm really curious for those anyone who have been to the said Chinatowns, What do you think of them?

In terms of Experience, Culture, Heritage, food and so forth.

I remember going to Iloilo Chinatown when I was a kid but I couldn't recall what I really did there except for the looking at those lanterns and Chinese shops.

And then I've been to the Quezon City Chinatown district about a year ago, it was alright, but personally, I though it didn't have that kind of Heritage feel like Binondo does and looked more like a regular modern day street, but the food was good nonetheless.

I do wonder about Davao Chinatown, I've heard that it has the same level as Binondo?

And there's the one district in Cebu downtown.

Curious to hear your insights and experiences on this, if you've been into these places before 🙂
