Thank you for letting me go here virtually! Looks like a fine place to stroll and a great subject for photographers.

Yes, there are usually stalls selling all sorts of goodies out on the sidewalks and in the pedestrian zone. Unfortunately, it was starting to rain and the forecast was not great, the stalls were not set up. :(

Thank you for taking the time to stop by MPD and leaving a comment. Much appreciated. Good day !

Hi,

Haven't been in Chinatown in ages ! Brings back great memories - when do they have the street festivals ? I remember all the colourful stalls - would like to take our son there so he can experience it for the first time.

Thanks for the memories !
