Carpenter Street - Chinatown

Chinatown Gate
The gateway to Kuching's Chinatown - Carpenter Street

Kuching's Chinatown is Carpenter Street, marked on its western end by the large Chinese gate officially called the "Harmony Arch". While there are a few guest houses and lots of restaurants along the road, the area is not very 'touristy' at all. Somewhat surprisingly, Carpenter Street still has a few carpenter shops, along with bicycle shops, printers and other small businesses.
