Manchester's Chinese presence consists of a lot more than just chopsticks and noodles

Chinese migrants to Manchester in the United Kingdom are increasingly gaining recognition and becoming an integral part of the city's identity, especially as China's growing global influence is attracting increasing interest in Chinese culture overseas.

There has been great growth in the number of innovative Chinese restaurants of various regional cuisines in Manchester's Chinatown over the years, and one can see many Chinese faces, including those of locals, students and tourists there.
