    An American street with a taste to China. As a part of Chinatown, this plaza is composed of American architecture from the past century combined with Chinese motives and signs in the language. We can appreciate some extremely original and shocking East Asian Street Art in the nearby alleys. Recommended to walk by it and observe the families living in the area and their businesses.

    πŸŽ„β›„ 🎁 Seasons Greetings, πŸŽ„β›„πŸŽβ˜ƒοΈ A very πŸŽπŸŽ„ Merry Christmas⛄❄⛄ and A Happy New Year 19 🐷 πŸ– . Confucius Plaza in Chinatown, NYC is the largest apartment complex in all of Chinatown. The property is maintained quite well, and is kept up to the standards. There are numerous shops on the ground floor and there is a public school also. Confucius Plaza is located at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge, and the views from the apartments are anyone's dream. Some apartmens have views of the Manhattan Bridge, some have views of the Manhattan Skyline including the Empire State Building, The Freedom Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the ever changing Brooklyn Skyline. Aside from the views, being in Chinatown, NYC doesn't hurt either. There are plenty of places to eat on the Bowery itself. Then you have the joints on Division Street and East Broadway. It's a New Yorkers' rental dream.

    The heart of Chinatown. Wonderful neighbourhood famous for its colourful shops, street vendors and lively chinese community. Confucius Plaza is teeming with locals engaging in chess and mahjong. Fantastic place for a stroll or street photography. Plenty of shops to buy souvenirs. πŸ“Έ Pictures by Ignacio de Asua πŸ“ΈINSTAGRAM: @unhippieconosde πŸ“Έ TRIPADVISOR PHOTOWALKS : β€œBuenos Aires Photographer”

    Friend's grandmother lives here.. Love ❀ the view from her windows. Seaport, the new Pier 17. Though the green lights distract and annoy. There was a fireworks show last night. That is really spectacular.

    It's in the heart of Chinatown, Don't go there just to see the Confucius statue walk around Chinatown, great food and a lot of them don't take credit card so make sure you bring cash with you.

    Confucius Plaza is a landmark in NYC ChinaTown, mostly because of the statue of Confucius that stands in the middle. This is somehow of a convenient central point in ChinaTown as it is easy to get lost, given that there are many small streets where everything is written in Chinese. Confucius has a beautiful, simple, signified and stoic statue there.

    An oasis of solace and reverence. It is a place for quiet contemplation, as the great Teacher would have wanted.
