Built in the 1980's Chinatown in Northbridge has been enjoying a bit of a revamp lately in preparation for the completion of the Perth City Link project which will unite Northbridge with the CBD. It's pretty quiet through the day but we're hoping to have dinner there on Saturday, will be interesting to see the difference, have heard that in the evening it's mega busy, should be an excellent photo op! That's Aimee patiently waiting for me to finish, it's a good thing she has the umbrella I think her hair might have blended perfectly with the colourful surroundings :)
The entrance to Chinatown off Roe Street has been (t)arted up during FormPUBLIC 2015 by Sydney based artist, and so much more, Brett Chan who believes 'if maths is the language of the universe, then geometry is a visual representation of that voice'. Excellent! Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
I've never seen an empty Chinatown. Looks like a very beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteYep, looks a lot like our Chinatown here and in Seattle!! Terrific!!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how an area can be so quiet in the day and crazy at night!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place! I do like Chinese food. Some of it. But I'm wondering how you got the Chinese lettering in your blog title? You must be especially smart!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like fun! Collin and I love Chinese food.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting harder and harder to eat good Chinese food here. The Chinese take over allsorts of cafés and brasseries (and the food is usually not very good French cuisine) and most of the Japanese restaurants. Very few sushi places are actually still Japanese in Paris. Still, I'd love to have a Chinatown although all of Paris is now Chinatown! Cool shots Grace!
ReplyDeleteI crashed exactly such a brolly a couple of weeks ago. Same pattern, black and white, huge, for two peeps. Ingo wasn´t happy.
ReplyDeleteI´m curious, Grace, of the outcome of your Chinese evening!
Do I crave Wok-Man now... Ingo´s on late shift but I got fresh salad. Buhuuu ;-)
Gorgeous! I like chinese restaurants :)
ReplyDeleteMore fascinating things to learn about your beautiful city. Can't wait to hear about the dinner!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous addition to the community--the gate, not the inn, necessarily, although it might very well be a happy inn. :-)
ReplyDeleteChinatowns by their nature should be slightly chaotic, busy and narrow. It would be difficult to build one from scratch. Thankfully all large Australian cities have existing Chinatowns.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so strangely desolate. I'm sure that the atmosphere will be very different come evening. Nice that Aimee likes to coordinate her hair with local architecture!
ReplyDeleteLovely first picture Grace with the umbrella figure under the gate..
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to include Aimee in the shot Grace, even if we aren't able to see her hair!
ReplyDeleteIt seems a gate is pretty much an essential in a Chinatown. I haven't photographed our gate in awhile.
ReplyDeleteLove that first shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views of Chinatown!
ReplyDeleteThe entrance to many China Towns have very similar gates Grace. Look forward to seeing your shots of the buzzing night life.
ReplyDeleteI like the shot with Aimee under the umbrella. Hope your meal is delicious.
ReplyDeleteHello Grace and Aimee:)
ReplyDeleteHope you will have a good time there on Sataurday too.
I have been to Chinatown in London, but here in Stavanger we only have a few Chinese restaurant.
Every big city seems to have their own China town, I have seen many of them over the world.
ReplyDeleteNever seen Perth's Chinatown without people. Did the rain keep them away?
ReplyDeleteeverybody loves a chinatown! love that first photo!
ReplyDeleteSurely a fun and busy place in the evening.
ReplyDeleteLike the gate.
Beautiful! If my mother were alive she'd begged me to find her that exact red!
ReplyDeleteShots that make us want to explore there!
ReplyDeleteIt will be very interesting to see what this area looks like at night!
ReplyDeleteA lot to see around here...
