The gateway to Santo Domingo’s Chinatown got its start yesterday when Mayor Roberto Salcedo did the honors at the start-up ceremony. The gateway is located at the intersection between Duarte and Mexico avenues in downtown Santo Domingo. Chinese “lions” danced in the street as the five million-peso project got underway. The Taiwanese government has donated US$40,000 for the project. Rosa Ng Baez, president of the “Flor para Todos” (Flowers for All) Foundation, told reporters and officials present that the gateway would be built in typical Chinese architectural style, serving as the doorway to a growth of tourism and contact with Chinese culture.
