Near Los Angeles in the United States, there is a small city called the Alhambra. It may sound like an exaggeration, but the city has actually been "occupied" by the Chinese. More than half of the residents here are Chinese. Not only is this small city culturally deeply influenced by Chinese traditions, but everywhere you can see people dancing in the square and talking with fluent Chinese, as if it were a transplanted Chinese city.
The streets of the Alhambra are lined with Chinese restaurants that offer the most authentic Chinese cuisine. Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine and other classic foods are available here. You can even find specialties such as meat dumplings and cold skin here. With so many Chinese living in it, Chinese restaurants can be found almost everywhere in the city. Many American locals, white and black, come here just to enjoy authentic Chinese food in China. Not only that, many American Internet celebrities also came to admire and broadcast live in the Alhambra, gaining quite high attention and broadcasts.
On the streets of the Alhambra, you will see Chinese characters and symbols everywhere. The name of the Chinese restaurant is printed on the roadside car, the delivery guys can talk to you with a fluent Chinese, and even the road signs are printed with our Chinese characters. The shops on the street display many unique Chinese goods, which could only be purchased in China, but can now be found here. As a result, many people from all over the United States flocked to the Alhambra to sweep goods, making the small city so busy that almost every day felt like a carnival shopping festival.
Even more striking, the mayor of the Alhambra has been a Chinese for 12 consecutive years. This is no longer a simple "Chinatown", but a real "Chinatown". In the United States, such a phenomenon is very rare. Nowadays, with the continuous increase of China's national strength, the voice of Chinese in countries around the world is also rising. Perhaps, in the future, more cities will become the next Alhambra, and the name "Chinatown" will be resounded all over the world.
