Tangra and Tiretta Bazaar in East Kolkata are the city's two Chinese quarters, sitting at opposite ends of the old city. Tiretta Bazaar, near Poddar Court and Bowbazar, is the older settlement, a tight grid of lanes behind the office district holding two Chinese temples and a breakfast market that runs from dawn to mid-morning only. Tangra lies east of the centre, close to Salt Lake, and is the Indian-Chinese restaurant district most people mean when they talk about Chinese food in Kolkata. The community dates from the late eighteenth century, when Chinese traders and craftsmen settled near the river and later took work in the leather trade; families moved east to Tangra for the tanneries. Both are working neighbourhoods rather than sights, with ordinary street life, narrow lanes and no ticket counter at either. Visitors go to Tiretta Bazaar early and Tangra in the evening, allowing half a day for each and more if they plan to eat properly.
