Chinatown/Haymarket - Sydney is a true melting pot of various cultures and people that it is not surprising to find one of the world's most established Chinatowns right in the heart of the city. Located in the southern part of the Central Business District (CBS), which gives it excellent access from the different areas of the city, Sydney's Chinatown is a juxtaposition of popular restaurants serving authentic Chinese cuisines, bars and pubs, specialty grocery shops and boutiques. Visitors to Chinatown should not miss the chance to visit the 'Golden Water Mouth' monument at the corner of George and Hay Street. This peculiar 'Feng Shui' sculpture is made from a dead tree trunk that is said to have brought much of area's booming prosperity and development in the past and continues to do so in the present days.

The Haymarket area is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon or a whole day bargaining and shopping for souvenirs or other knick-knacks. Home to Sydney's Chinatown, Haymarket also hosts the Spanish Quarter, a great place to soak in the culture of the Spanish people that would include sipping sangrias, eating delicate tapas or watch a flamenco dance performance. Located in the vast space of the warehouse, Paddy's Market is a must for any visitors to the city. It is Sydney's biggest traditional market and is the perfect place to purchase clothes, shoes, bags, souvenirs and anything else that you can imagine. Make sure you do a bit of bargaining to get the best prices. Most visitors would also make a beeline for Market City, a modern shopping centre that was built behind part of the walls of the site's now defunct produce markets. Here you can find a number of factory outlets selling items at great discounts.
