Tangra Chinatown

Beautiful scenery, fresh air, convenient transportation, a good place to travel

I still like Chinatown very much. Although there are no Chinese people there, I think it should be equivalent to the slums of Calcutta. Many Bangladeshi refugees live there in chaos, but it is safe and most of them are enthusiastic. Taba is a small town in eastern Calcutta with an area of only 0.5 square kilometers. There are crooked streets, chaotic surroundings, and Indians coming and going all over the street. Apart from seeing the National Park Restaurant, Jexingpi Pi Factory, Chengchang Sauce Garden and Meipei Middle School, most of them have closed, leaving only the Chinese character signs on the doors. There are also red and black characters couplets visible outside the gate of the courtyard. Occasionally, a few broken lanterns hanging on the high wall of red paint. You can hardly imagine here. Once the largest Chinese city in India, Taba Chinatown, is a place full of dust and memories. I like it very much.

Taba Chinatown is a small town northeast of Kolkata, with an area of only 0.5 square kilometers, which is India's largest Chinatown.

There are several Chinese settlements in Calcutta. Taba is one of them, Tangra in English. Here are some Chinese restaurants, as well as leather factories, schools and temples run by the Chinese people. You can see what's the difference between them and China.
