Essentially an ethnic enclave in the city, Chinatown's design is a juxtaposition of American and oriental designs, with a mixture of conventional American urban design, and extensive usage of Far Eastern architecture (such as the [[Raffles Fish Factory]]) and language on signage and banners. Many of its pedestrians are also depicted with oriental heritage. | Essentially an ethnic enclave in the city, Chinatown's design is a juxtaposition of American and oriental designs, with a mixture of conventional American urban design, and extensive usage of Far Eastern architecture (such as the [[Raffles Fish Factory]]) and language on signage and banners.

The centerpiece of the district includes pedestrian-only walkways (adorned by two "Chinatown" arches) that features a sheltered marketplace. In addition to urban areas, a basketball court and "[[Old School Hall|school hall]]" may also be found to the south, as well as a [[Punk Noodles]] diner to the northeast, a [[Little China Park|small park]] towards the south, and a waterfront promenade overlooking [[Staunton Island]] to the west. | The centerpiece of the district includes pedestrian-only walkways (adorned by two "Chinatown" arches) that features a sheltered marketplace.

By 2001, Chinatown is almost completely under [[Liberty City Triads|Triad]] control (although the [[Leone Family|Leones]] still have businesses there), precipitating to an all out gang war for dominance in Portland, which the Leones win, following the deaths of three Triad warlords and the destruction of [[Belly-Up Fish & Seafood Processing Plant|their factory]] in [[Callahan Point]]. However, the Triads still roam the streets of Chinatown. | By 2001, Chinatown is almost completely under [[Liberty City Triads|Triad]] control (although the [[Leone Family|Leones]] still have businesses there), precipitating to an all out gang war for dominance in Portland, which the Leones win, following the deaths of three Triad warlords and the destruction of [[Belly-Up Fish & Seafood Processing Plant|their factory]] in [[Callahan Point]].

In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is entirely under the control of the Leones until 1998, when the [[Sindacco Family]] decides to further its influence in Liberty City by encroaching on Leone turf; the Sindaccos begin dealing drugs in Chinatown after being run out of Portland by the Leone Caporegime, [[Toni Cipriani]]. This attempted take-over includes the [[Red Light District]] and [[Hepburn Heights]], both of which would fall under complete Leone control by the end of GTA Liberty City Stories. However, the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]], backed by the newly formed [[Sicilian Mafia]], also have a large stake in Chinatown. | In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is entirely under the control of the Leones until 1998, when the [[Sindacco Family]] decides to further its influence in Liberty City by encroaching on Leone turf; the Sindaccos begin dealing drugs in Chinatown after being run out of Portland by the Leone Caporegime, [[Toni Cipriani]].
