Newcastle Chinatown is one of the city’s most distinctive cultural areas, centred around Stowell Street in the heart of Newcastle. The area is home to a wide variety of Chinese and East Asian restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and shops, making it a popular destination for dining and exploring the city’s diverse food scene.
One of Chinatown’s most recognisable landmarks is the impressive Chinese Arch at the entrance to Stowell Street. Standing 11 metres high and decorated with traditional dragons, phoenixes and colourful detailing, the arch was formally opened in 2005. The area is also a focal point for Newcastle’s annual Lunar New Year celebrations, with Stowell Street hosting traditional performances and festivities.
Q-Park Stowell Street is an ideal choice for parking in Newcastle Chinatown, with the car park situated directly on Stowell Street. This puts visitors right in the heart of the area, within easy walking distance of its restaurants, shops, Chinese Arch and nearby historic city walls. Newcastle's city-centre guide also specifically recommends Q-Park Stowell Street for visitors driving to the area.
The car park is open 24 hours a day, making it convenient whether you're visiting Chinatown for lunch, an evening meal or one of the area's events. Its central position also provides easy access to nearby destinations including Blackfriars, Grainger Market, The Gate and St James’ Park.
