Dating back to the 1920s, Sydney’s Chinatown has long been the heart of the city’s Asian community. Centred around the pedestrian Dixon Street, it’s packed with restaurants and shops.

Duck into the labyrinth of Paddy’s Market, a bustling shopping hub where you can buy everything from fresh food to fashion.
