There are Chinatowns in cities around the world. See Wikipedia for an extensive list; here we list only the ones Wikivoyage has an article for.
See Legacy of the Overseas Chinese for a more general treatment, including links to many of the places the Chinese immigrants came from.
In Chinese most of these are called Tangren jie (Tang people street).
