Chinatown

Chinatown in Broome is a unique and special place worth visiting, with a blend of pearl showrooms, art galleries, east-meets-west restaurants, and sidewalk cafes. The area has a rich history, dating back to the 1880s when pearling crews set up their first camps and corrugated tin sheds. Today, visitors can still see the distinctive corrugated iron style of building and enjoy al fresco dining, browsing pearl showrooms, and exploring the area's multicultural heritage. The Broome Chinatown Revitalisation Project has preserved the town's history, celebrating its local culture and reinvigorating economic and development opportunities. Families can stroll along Carnarvon Street, visit the world's oldest operating picture gardens, Sun Pictures, and explore the public art and placemaking throughout the precinct
