In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], '''Chinatown''' is a district in [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. It | In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], '''Chinatown''' is a district in [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. It borders [[Callahan Point]] to the north, the [[Red Light District]] to the south, [[Portland View]] to the east and an unnamed body of water to the west. | ||
== Character == | |||
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 and language on signage and banners. Many of its pedestrians are also depicted with oriental heritage. | |||
== Places of interest == | |||
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 "school hall" may also be found to the south, is as a [[Punk Noodles]] diner to the northeast, and a waterfront promenade overlooking [[Staunton Island]] to the west. | |||
Chinatown is also one of three locations in Portland served by the [[Portland El]] train service, the train station (dubbed the "" in GTA Liberty City Stories) being situated on the northwestern end of Chinatown, over the promenade. | |||
== Gang control == | |||
By 2001, Chinatown is almost completely under Triad control (although the 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. | |||
In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is entirely under the control of the [[Leone Family]] 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. | |||
