Chinatown in Montreal is really small, just a couple of blocks. It is not as colorful or busy as NYC's Chinatown, where you see all kinds of tables with cheap merchandise and oddities. I figure is the cold. In facts it is mostly restaurants. There are four gates. One on each cardinal point, and although nice enough, they need more illumination. At night they don't look very impressive.
Now, I saw a lot of bakeries I wanted to try, there was so many cute confections, I didn't know where to start. Turns out, I couldn't start anywhere. They only take cash, and me being the American that I am didn't have any, I was relying on credit cards wherever I went. Someone told me there was an ATM somewhere, but I was not able to find it. It was late and snowing so we just left. At least I got some cute pictures at one of the gates and with the rooster sculpture. My advice... BRING CASH!!!!
