Enter Belgrano’s Barrio Chino through its arch at Juramento and Arribeños: 11 metres tall, made in China and shipped over in pieces. The quarter grew from Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese families who settled here in the 1980s, and its shops sell everything from imported groceries to manga. Walk on to Via Viva under the Mitre viaduct, for street food at outdoor tables, then up to the shady Barrancas de Belgrano. Come at Chinese New Year, late January to early February, for the street fair.
