Manchester's Chinese community
In the 1950s and 1960s, Chinese immigration to the UK expanded rapidly with many migrants settling in Manchester. In the 1970s, a new wave of immigrants came to Greater Manchester to join family and friends. Most of those migrants were from Hong Kong.
More recently, more Chinese mainland migrants have arrived in Manchester seeking educational and employment opportunities.
In Manchester, many Chinese live in areas such as Longsight, Levenshulm, Rusholme and Cheetham Hill.
