Chinanews, July 6th. According to the US "World Journal" report, the epidemic in the United States has eased, and tourists have begun to visit New York City. During the long weekend of Chinatown in Manhattan, many people have returned.
Merchants said on the 5th that it is a good thing for tourists to return, but the current business situation is still unstable. After celebrating the National Day, they also hope that the epidemic can develop in a better direction, bring back a stable source of customers, and restore the past prosperity.
On the 5th, there were many tourists eating, shopping and experiencing traditional Chinese food and beverages in the streets and alleys of Chinatown. In addition, it was completed at the end of June on Doyer St. to depict the flow of Oriental Rice Terraces. The line abstract pattern mural project successfully attracted many people to Chinatown to take pictures and check in.
The owner of "Wuchang Haowei", a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown on Zaiye Street, said that after the murals were completed, more tourists returned. At the same time, the weather was clear for long weekends and the temperature was not as high as when the heat wave hit the previous few days. Many people will make a special trip to sit in the outdoor dining area to enjoy the meal and the good weather, which has brought a lot of popularity to the restaurant.
In addition, the owner of a gift shop in Mott St. said that the number of tourists from other places on Mott St. has increased significantly. Most people buy small items such as magnets and key rings. In the hot weather, Chinese-style folding fans and hats and other sun-shading and heat-dissipating products are also popular among the people.
