Australia has two of the oldest Chinatowns in the world. Due to COVID-19, the once busy streets have now become quiet, awaiting their revival. This week we have two stories about the past and present of Chinatowns in Sydney and Melbourne.

Time Machine by Wing Kuang 

Two years ago, Wing flew to Sydney from Melbourne with the purpose of seeking an untold history of Sydney Chinatown, and she found the answer from a wooden board inside a church in Haymarket.

Night Market by Yiwen Wang 

In Melbourne's Chinatown, a night market is regularly held for people to hunt for street food. What makes people in love with the night market atmosphere? Yiwen goes for a look.
