Brussels - A disappointing Chinatown
One of the visits in my first week in Brussels was of course its Chinatown. After struggling through herd of pickpockets (already three efforts in four days, more than a decade in Shanghai) it was very easy to miss the few streets that are called Chinatown here. We passed nour time with a Belgium Beer and a very disappointing dinner at a Zhejiang restaurant called Xuyi. Since we were the only guests there, most other people must have discovered that the core business of this place was not its cooking.

There's indeed no Chinatown in Brussels. It is merely a few Asian Shops together. The only official recognised Chinatown in Belgium is the one located in Antwerp. This Chinatown is 10 times larger then the one in Brussels. Antwerp is the second largest city in Belgium, although it is not the capital of Belgium, it seems that all Asian people of Belgium go there for shopping and dim sum. Antwerp seems actually richer then Brussels if u look at the streets and people, maybe becoz of the income of the Port of Antwerp.
However take a look at this website:
