At the end of January the new Chinese district in Santo Domingo will be officially opened by President Leonel Fernández.
Entrance of the Chinese district
This will be the second largest Chinese district in the entire Caribbean, and the eighth largest in the world. Construction has taken a total of 10 years, although most of the building work has taken place during the last four years, under the current President. The district has been given an authentic Chinese flavour, with speciality shops, restaurants, decorative gates and dragons. The President thinks that the capital will be made more attractive by this colourful Chinese character, and that this could become another important tourist spot.
