[00:00:01]Hey everyone. Today we're going to be walking through Boston Chinatown.

[00:00:08]It's a Wednesday afternoon, April 29th, 2026.

[00:00:13]The time is 12:49 p.m. and the temperature is 54 fah, 12° C.

[00:00:27]Boston Chinatown is actually pretty small and it feels like it is getting smaller.

[00:00:35]Many businesses are closing up and facing pressure due to high rents and the cost of doing business.

[00:00:45]Like I'm not sure what happened with this spot, the Moon Flower House.

[00:00:57]But there's still a lot of character here and you can find some great restaurants still operating.

[00:01:28]Ding-ho fast food has been here since 1980. You can still get a meal plate for $5.

[00:01:45]And it's quite popular.

[00:02:02]Heat.

[00:02:21]Heat.

[00:02:41]This is the exit.

[00:03:25]We'll be passing by the main gate of Chinatown pretty shortly, just around this block. Heat.

[00:03:57]Heat.

[00:04:00]Heat. Heat.

[00:04:59]Really love the architecture of this main gate.

[00:05:27]It's always a big community of people here playing cards and ma jang.

[00:05:45]There used to be a Chinese bakery here, but now it got turned into a bubble tea spot.

[00:06:03]One more time.

[00:06:38]Okay.

[00:06:39]>> Are you um are you going that way?

[00:06:47]>> This block actually has some really good restaurants.

[00:06:52]I recommend Peach Farm seafood. They're really good. And >> they sell hiding it, too.

[00:06:59]>> As well as Jade Garden down the block there.

[00:07:46]That's Jade Garden.

[00:07:56]My family has dined at Jade Garden several times already.

[00:08:03]Each time has been excellent.

[00:09:03]But he has like two Yeah.

[00:09:31]5 minutes.

[00:09:41]Maybe he's supposed to be I don't know.

[00:10:11]Someone's selling fruit here, including durian, the world's smelliest is fruit.

[00:10:35]This Vietnamese restaurant, I guess, is getting a makeover or maybe someone else is moving in now.

[00:10:53]Watch the women.

[00:11:37]I'm getting the accident.

[00:12:03]That's a unique way to advertise.

[00:12:06]Go around on a bike and pull a sign.

[00:12:29]Have you guys seen something?

[00:12:42]At the end of this block here is the Chinatown subway station.

[00:12:57]Served by the orange line.

[00:13:10]vehicles at our base.

[00:13:58]I find that the Chinatown stop isn't totally within Chinatown.

[00:14:04]You still have to walk a block or two to get there. Heat. Heat.

[00:14:50]There used to be a lot more activity here, but many of the shops closed across the street.

[00:15:05]Well, I think they sent the sheep from >> I love these lions and great public space here.

[00:15:36]Get a snack.

[00:15:59]>> Yeah.

[00:16:12]Oh my god.

[00:16:15]>> Yeah.

[00:16:36]Yeah.

[00:16:57]We'll walk back towards the Chinatown gate.

[00:17:09]Boston South Station, which is a ma major train station, actually isn't too far from here, only about two blocks or so.
