China town in Mauritius is located in the heart of the city, near Port Louis.
China Town is filled with shops, many being over a hundred years old. Some chinese families have been running their businesses for generations and they give us the Chinese- Orient feeling. China Town does have new generation buildings as well where some businesses operate.
This bustling neighborhood is known for its small shops, family traders and oriental restaurants.
Art is taking over giving life to the the walls of this street. We were also delighted to see the walls of shops, stores and walls of street painted in bright colors along with bold drawings - the artists really did a job.
Do not forget to check out on the Chinese street food- noodles and dumplings. Authentic Chinese food is something that you must try in this place, from high class restaurants to small street vendors, everything looks colourful and tasty!
China Town has a very particular smell, incense, far eastern perfumes and food all mixed together, which really took us to another world.
We really enjoyed every bit of our journey in China Town. We would recommend it to everyone, including Chinese food lovers and street art fans to appreciate the murals done by various artists all over Port Louis.
