Archway set to be new tourist magnet in NYC

NEW YORK - A grand and distinctive Chinese-style archway to be installed in the fast-growing Chinatown of Brooklyn, New York City's largest borough, is set to become a new tourist magnet in the cultural capital of America.

The arch, 12 meters tall and 3.65 meters wide, will span the 60th and 61st streets along the 8th Avenue in Sunset Park of Brooklyn, an area which has grown into one of the biggest hubs of New York's vibrant Chinese-American community over the past decades.
