A soundwalk around the streets at the heart of Chinatown in New York. With an estimated population of 90,000 to 100,000 people, NYC's Chinatown is home to the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere.

In this recording we explore the shops mostly selling Chinese products, with conversations happening among the Chinese community all around us. 

Recorded by Cities and Memory.

Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world’s first collection of the sounds of human migration.
