Chinatown
About
Found on São Miguel (Azores), Chinatown sits at Rossio 34 capelas, 9545-116 Ponta Delgada, placing it within reach of the island's main town and the road network that links Ponta Delgada with Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa and Vila Franca do Campo. The setting puts it on the São Miguel circuit rather than off the beaten track, so a stop here fits naturally into a day of moving between the island's settlements.
Guests have scored Chinatown 4.3 out of 5 across 33 reviews, a record that reflects steady approval from those who have called in. The surrounding area takes in Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação, so the venue sits among the places visitors tend to pass through on a tour of the island. São Miguel's volcanic terrain, with its crater lakes, hot springs and steep coastal cliffs, shapes the landscape around any journey here.
Dairy farming and cattle-rearing define the pastureland of the Azores, which is why beef, butter and cheese appear so often on local tables. Portugal's islands enjoy a mild oceanic climate, staying green through the year with most rain falling in winter.
Whaling sustained the island economy until the 1980s, and the boats and lookout posts from that era are now kept in island museums. Travellers basing themselves in Ponta Delgada will find Chinatown within easy reach by car.
