As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as "Chinatown". However London's Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20thcentury, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain. After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled in different area--a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown. At first, the new immigrants found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London.

The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive _ . Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever. Question: Where is London's Chinatown now? - In the east of London - In Limhousse - Not far from Leicester Square. - Outside the city

The 1,142-kilometer railroad runs on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau . Lamu could reach Beijing by train in 48 hours! About 550 kilometers of the railroad are constructed on the frozen earth .

"The new railroad greatly helps Tibet's tourism,"said Liu Yueqin, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences . As more tourists take trains to Tibet, there are more money for Tibetans.
