My latest work looks at yet another Chinatown, #Milan’s #Chinatown, one of the largest in southern Europe.

Like many Chinatowns facing gentrification, Milan has its own challenges, but unique history of solving problems. Learn more:

[The World Of Chinese @WorldofChinese]

#Milan’s #Chinatown is at a turning point.

One of Europe’s oldest Chinatowns, the Sarpi–Canonica district grew out of #Zhejiang migrants who initially started apparel-related businesses and later developed a wholesale hub. Today, rising rents, tourism, and urban policies are reshaping the district—echoing trends seen in many Chinatowns worldwide, including New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C.

Its future may lie with a new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs.👇

I recently explored Ma’andi (马鞍底), home to China’s #ButterflyValley and site of one of the world’s 2️⃣ butterfly explosions, where over 100 million butterflies hatch. 🦋

Learn what’s being done to preserve the ecosystem, as more tourists flock to #Yunnan’s picturesque border.

[The World Of Chinese @WorldofChinese]

Once a year, a butterfly explosion occurs in #Jinping Miao, Yao, and Dai Autonomous County's #ButterflyValley, in southern Yunnan. 🦋

Over 100 million #butterflies emerge from their chrysalis, creating one of only two butterfly explosions in the world.

But over-tourism challenges and the urgent need for preservation remain.
