Description

Old Town/Chinatown is a mix: commercial office space, popular bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Most folks know Oldtown and Chinatown for two reasons: Saturday Market and the Classical Chinese Garden. View our video of the beautiful garden.

Weekends are crazy busy with hundreds (if not more) of people milling about enjoying local artist's crafts and amazing local food, most with an ethnic flair. Don't forget that Saturday Market is open on Sunday's too!

The Classical Chinese Garden is an authentic Suzhou-style garden and is simply incredible. Photographers-- bring your camera's! I am relaxed simply by walking through and enjoying the sights and smells (hmmm...jasmine in the summer!). Do yourself a favor and visit!

Young, old, hip, trendy, hippie...you name it-- all walks come out and enjoy the fun down in Old Town/Chinatown.
