The recently finished chinatown arch adds up to the cosmopolitan flavor of the city scenery. Davao's Chinatown district is one of only two such places found in the country. The arch is a fitting tribute to the cultural contribution and business acumen of Tsinoys (of Filipino-Chinese parentage) who undeniably bring vitality to local and national economy.
