Need to Know: Quezon City’s Banawe area, aside from it being widely known as “Autoparts Capital of the Philippines” due to its wide array of car parts shops and accessories, is also home to one of the biggest Chinatowns in the world.
Representing the Banawe area as the “Chinatown” of Quezon City are the two Chinese páifāng or the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Arch which can be seen at the intersection of Pres. Manuel Quezon Avenue and Banawe Street, the north and south entry points of Banawe Street. These landmark arches were erected in 2013 as a project of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc (FFCCCII).
Today, Banawe serves as a venue for the annual celebration of the Chinese New Year in Quezon City.
