On the Royal road, as you see two pagodas above the road, you are in china town. Besides, even without the pagodas, you can not go wrong. The Chinese shops are aligned on each side of the road, with an indecrtible number of heterocilite products crammed into the windows. The labels as the name of the storefronts are in Chinese characters. The small stalls stick to each other sell all the same things. You can find in the same shop, spare parts of second hand, Chinese engravings, clothes and books. Heat, dust and strong smells of spices or Asian cuisine take you to the heart of China. In China Town, enjoy your visit to the tasty dumplings, a pow, a traditional fried or less known but equally delicious: a singaporian chicken rice (rice, vegetables and steam chicken). MUST DO: Stop at a local restaurant! (Review from Mauritius Explored)

In 1940 a number of Chinese immigrants set foot in Mauritius in search of trade business under British rule. They started settling around Royal Road, in the heart of Port Louis and this is how Chinatown took shape. The area between the two 'friendship gates' on Royal St forms the centre of the city's Chinatown. The Jummah Mosque situated in the china town, dates from the 1850s and combines Indian, Creole and Islamic architecture. It houses the remains of Jamal Shah in a marble tomb next to the mosque.

The Chinese have traditionally occupied an important position in the life of Port Louis, and the area between the two 'friendship gates' on Royal St forms the centre of the city's Chinatown. Here you'll take in the rich mercantile life of the Chinese community, busy Chinese restaurants and grocery stores, and streets echoing with the unmistakable clatter of mah-jong tiles.
