Chinatown, Los Angeles, California, USA, 1956. Vintage postcard view of the towers, pagodas and storefronts along Gin Ling Way. Neon signs shine brightly as people mill about the street, walking and shopping from vendors. The Chinese community of Los Angeles was relocated to New Chinatown in 1938. The majority of the old Chinatown was demolished to make way for Los Ageles Union Station.
