Houston Chinese Attractions

Hello everyone again! It has been a crazy and wild weekend. With Mardi Gras going on in Galveston, Texas and the Houston Rodeo beginning too, Houston is bustling with lots of things to do. This past weekend, I ventured to Houston Chinatown to check out some of the activities there. For those of yall who are not too familiar with the Chinatown in Houston area, there are a few attractions worth noting.

The first place I went to and is a big Houston Chinatown attraction is Hong Kong City Mall. It is the biggest Asian indoor mall in southeastern United States. Over two dozen restaurants and cafes and several dozen more offices and shops makes this place feel like a small city and is in fact a small city (lots of Vietnamese and Cantonese people hang out there on the weekends). I love the specialty shops inside the mall because you can find lots of neat things from Asia you cannot find elsewhere.

After Hong Kong City Mall, I headed down to Splash Gallery. This is a new place that just recently opened. Located in the heart of Houston Chinatown, this art gallery features a mix of Western and Eastern artworks from famous artists. Various styles of oil painting, water color painting, Asian painting, Contemporary and Abstract paintings are also on display and for sale.

From there, I noticed how there are a ton of new buildings and shopping centers popping up all around Chinatown. I can't believe how fast things are developing. More hidden attractions are popping up as Chinatown begins to develop into a tourist attraction. You can visit Houston Attractions in Chinatown Guide for more information.

Well that was my weekend journey to Houston Chinatown. Look for my next weeks entry. Have a good week.
