Getting to Know: Neighborhoods in Brief Frommer
Chinatown

Portland has had a Chinatown almost since its earliest days. Today, this small area, with its numerous Chinese groceries and restaurants, is wedged between the Pearl District and the Skidmore Historic District and is entered through the colorful Chinatown Gate at West Burnside Street and Fourth Avenue. The neighborhood's main attraction is the impressive Portland Classical Chinese Garden. As you would expect, there are also some good Chinese restaurants in the area. Because of its proximity to bars on West Burnside Street and the homeless missions and welfare hotels in Old Town, this is not a good neighborhood explore late at night.
