Brisbane's Chinatown Mall in Duncan Street

It's hard to resist being drawn into the colourful Chinatown Mall. If the lure of the traditional Chinese gates don't tempt you to cross thethreshold, the intimidating 320 kilogram stoneguard-lions and smell of fresh ingredientshitting the wok certainly will. The Mall is a visual masterpiece with water features, giantred and silver carp sculptures and bamboo gardens scattered throughout. Feast at one ofthe many Chinese restaurants, pick up essential ingredients at the Asian supermarkets or get advice from an Oriental medicine man.
