Liverpool has one of the oldest established Chinese communities in Europe thanks largely to the trade links between the bustling ports of Shanghai and Liverpool, which date back to the 1830's. |
Many Chinese sailors decided to stay in Liverpool and a small community was built offering Chinese shops and cafes. |
Today, there are many Chinese restaurants in Liverpool continuing that link, the quality of which would be hard to beat anywhere in Europe. |
Whilst many Chinese restaurants in Liverpool are located around Chinatown, elsewhere there's a great choice of quality restaurants, Chinese takeaways and buffet restaurants in Liverpool city centre. |
