NYChinatown.com was the New York's first major internet guide to China and all things Chinese, and is established as New York's premiere site on all things Chinese. This unique web site is a huge resource featuring hundreds of web pages covering everything from chop suey to feng shui, tai chi to Taiwan, Mao to Macau, Kung Fu to tofu.

Chinatown Online offers an unparalleled opportunity to reach a very targeted niche market: there is certainly no web site in US with comparable breadth of coverage, quality of content or attention to accuracy and detail.

History
Launched on the 8th of August 1998, NYChinatown.com is the most comprehensive internet guide to any overseas Chinese community in the world. NYChinatown.com grew out of an original idea to create a guide to restaurants in New York's Chinatown, but it soon became very apparent that Chinatown was more than a collection of restaurants- indeed it's probably fair to say it is the cultural heart of the Chinese community in US.

The scope of NYChinatown.com quickly spread to encompass fifteen key areas: Arts & Humanities, Business & Economy, Chinatown, Computers & Internet, Education, Entertainment, Health, News & Media, Recreation & Sports, Reference. Regional , Science, Service Social Science, Society & Culture. The underpinning principle was to provide quality information alongside good design whilst being non-political, non-religious and non-partisan. Input was received from the China National Tourist Office, the Taiwan Representative Office, the Hong Kong Tourist Association and China Travel Service. NYChinatown.com received critical acclaim on its launch from both the mainstream and internet media. Among others, NYChinatown.com has been featured in the Daily Telegraph, Internet Magazine, Exposure Magazine and Personal Computer Weekly; on Sky TV; and cv Online, Yell, Cool Sites and UK Plus. An extensive network of links has been established from sites as diverse as Shanghai On Internet and the American Museum of Women. NYChinatown.com is an approved web site of the official China in US Campaign.

As visitors to NYChinatown.com have burgeoned new sections and features have been added to keep the site dynamic and relevant- these include a searchable online database of Chinese businesses in New York,internet news, a discussion forum, Chinatown directory and a Community section, still in development, geared towards the needs of the US Chinese- while regularly updating the existing material to ensure freshness of the visitor's experience.
