Friendship Archway

One of the most noticeable gates in DC. The China town friendship gate is really an open retrace to the Chinese culture and food. I was really lucky to see it !

When you get off the metro at the Gallery Place/Chinatown stop, you know you are in Chinatown. The reason is the iconic DC symbol of the Chinatown Friendship Archway. The Chinese New Year Celebration held was a great festive event that brought out all communities of the city and beyond.

The Archway into Chinatown is an amazing site to see. The best part is finding where the best, most authentic Chinese restaurant is. It requires patience and persistence to wander the streets until it appears before you. Often it is hidden behind the flashy exterior of some chain restaurant that dominates the corner of the block. Just look and you will find it.

This is a great area to meet for lunch or dinner

Was in DC for a conference... This is beautiful with all it's detail. .. Just waking by tho on my way somewhere else. We stayed near China Town
