Greater Los Angeles Chinatown emerged from the coalescence of New Chinatown and China City. This was prompted in part by the end of Los Angeles Old Chinatown and the relocation into New Chinatown/China City area by others from throughout the Los Angeles area. It was the influx of immigrants of Chinese heritage in the 1970’s that completed the process. Stores and residences occupied by those of other ethnic groups were eventually given over to Chinese use. The Twin Dragon Gateway (photo today) marks the entrance and spans N. Broadway at Cesear Chavez Boulevard.
