Chinatown in Manchester, England is an ethnic enclave in the city centre. It is the second largest Chinatown in the United Kingdom and the third largest in Europe. It has an archway on Faulkner Street which was completed in 1987 and contains many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Nepali, Vietnamese, Singaporean and Malaysian restaurants, shops, bakeries and supermarkets. The first settlers to arrive in the city came in the early 20th century, Manchester's first Chinese restaurant, Ping Hong, opened on Mosley Street in 1948 on the eve of a Chinese immigration wave that would commence during the 1950s
