    Many large cities in the United States have an area called Chinatown. Each of them was set up by people
who came from China. For example, Chinatown in San Francisco, California, began in the 1840s. The Chinese
immigrants came to America to look for gold. Then the area they lived in later became known as Chinatown.
    Chinatowns were also set up in cities in the western states of Oregon and Washington during the middle of
the 19th century. Many Chinese immigrants in these areas helped build the first railroad system across the
United States. However, after the work ended in 1869, many Chinese moved to the eastern and middle parts
of the United States.
    Chinatowns can also be found in cities outside the United States. For example, the first Chinese immigrants
in London arrived in the late 18th century. They were men who worked for the East India Company. Later,
the Chinese immigrants opened small stores and restaurants there.
    Today, many people visit Chinatown. It has special Chinese gates and walking areas for visitors. Chinatowns
around the world are not only places where Chinese people live and work. They are also places where visitors
can learn more about Chinese culture and traditions.
