Throughout this open-air tour, you will find everything: bookstores, ice cream shops, clothing stores, fast food places or restaurants offering Chinese, Japanese or Korean cuisine, as well as local options, cafes and bars. The diversity of prices is wide.
Personally, I arrived at the place around noon and took the opportunity to have lunch and a snack. In the morning, there are fewer people, which allows you to walk around and get to know the area at your leisure. However, as lunchtime approaches, the place fills up with visitors.
Although it is not a very large area, the renovated Chinatown is definitely worth a visit. I rediscovered it after several years and was pleasantly surprised. During the week, the influx of people is less, but on weekends it is usually busier. Recently, several new shops, cafes, bars and other dining options have opened, revitalizing the area even more. Definitely worth exploring!
The best way to explore "Barrio Chino" is to pass under its majestic arch at the intersection of Juramento and Arribeños. From there, you'll find stores and supermarkets on both sides of the street offering everything from imported groceries to decorative objects and stores dedicated to manga and anime (Japanese comics and cartoons).
And if you happen to be in Buenos Aires during the Chinese New Year (which falls between the end of January and the beginning of February), consider taking a walk around the area. At that time, the neighborhood explodes with celebrations full of musical shows, activities and a fair full of stalls with food, crafts and souvenirs. Don't miss it!
