Atlanta Chinatown

Drawing of the Atlanta Chinatown by artist Sammy Yuen. Atlanta Chinatown is one of the newer Chinatowns in America, and one of the only ones in the South. It is a commercial Chinatown meaning no one lives there but it is where they gather for businesses. The mall is guarded by two Foo Dogs or guardian lions. The female lion on the left protects the people inside, the male one on the right protects the structure. Foo Dogs are seen at many Chinese establishments around the world.
