Rich cultural ties between China and Peru

Peru is the South American country with – proportionately – the largest ethnic-Chinese population. It also has a history with asia immigrants, stretching back more than 150 years. Experts estimate up to one-tenth of Peruvians could have Asian heritage. The descendants of those first immigrants have left their mark, especially in the capital’s Chinatown.
