In any given city in the world, you don't have to look far to find a Chinatown.
Though millions of Chinese have left the motherland to create a new life for themselves elsewhere, these neighborhoods give them a lasting connection to the culture and cuisine of the country they left behind.
In this iReport assignment, we want to hear about your favorite Chinatown.
Maybe it's a shop serving the city's best dim sum. Or a colorful street that lights up every year during the Chinese New Year festival.
Through words and pictures, show us what makes your favorite Chinatown special.
Deadline: October 15
