"The closing credits are rolling on Jet Li's latest film,War, and you get the sudden urge to take your life from Occidental to Oriental. You realize you'll need 17 hours and a lot of yuan to get to China by air, but only a couple of minutes on I-95 and gas money to get what you desire. So you roll to Miami China City, and when the elephant statues perched in the window see you coming, they kinda smile. "
虽无名却有实 美国北迈阿密沙滩市中国城渐成形
"据美国《世界日报》报道，美国北迈阿密沙滩市的163街，有着许多中餐馆、东方超市和中式艺品店，颇具“中国城”风味，但多年来并未有正式中国城名称，不少华人称之为“中国街”。迈阿密前锋报8月20日特别报导中国街的商家和其多元化的一面。
文章介绍商家迈阿密中国市(Miami China City)，该地区虽没有“中国城”的正式名称，但已经像是南佛州的中国城了。
美华协会南佛州分会长邓咏娴表示，虽然北迈阿密沙滩市163街没有中国城的正式名称，但对业者和旅客而言，早已是一个闻名的亚洲商业区。该区吸引了许多亚裔业者开设如银行、糕饼、中餐馆、沙龙，以及东方超市等商店。"

"SOME SAY A MAIN ROAD IN NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE HAS BECOME SOUTH FLORIDA'S HIDDEN 'CHINATOWN,' DRAWING BUSINESSES SERVING THE REGION'S ASIAN COMMUNITIES
Shirley Liu dreams of looking out of her family's North Miami Beach shop and seeing a stories-tall, ornately decorated Chinese gate welcoming drivers as they drive west along 167th Street in Northeast Miami-Dade.
She dreams of the stretch being officially recognized as "Chinatown," similar to the well-known enclaves in New York City and San Francisco.
"This is already like South Florida's Chinatown, without the formal name," says the 23-year-old Liu, who has worked at her family's Miami China City store -- where you can get everything from bamboo to Kung Fu movies -- since she was a kid."
