CHINATOWN, Dixon St Plaza.
Originally concentrated around Dixon and Hay Streets, Chinatown is expanding to fill Sydney's Haymarket area, stretching west t Harris Street, south to Broadway and east to Castlereagh Street.  It is close to the Sydney Entertainment Centre, where some of the world's best-known rock and pop stars perform and indoor sporting events are held.

For years, Chinatown was a run-down district at the edge of the city's produce markets where many Chines migrants worked.  Today Dixon Street, its main thoroughfare, has been spruced up, with street lanterns and archways, and a new wave of Asian migrants fills the now up-market restaurants.

Chinatown is a distinctive area with greengrocers, traditional herbalists and butchers' shops with wind-dried ducks hanging in their windows.  Jewellers, clothing shops and confectioners fill the arcades.  There are also two Chinese-language cinema complexes.

CAPITAL THEATRE, 13 Campbell Street.
In the mid-1980's a cattle and corn market was situated here.  It became Paddy's Market Bazaar with sideshows and an outdoor theatre, which were in turn replaced by a circus with a floodable ring.  The present building was erected in the 1920's as a luxurious picture palace.  In the mid-1990's, the cinema was restored, in keeping with the original theme of a Florentine Garden.

The Capital reopened as a lyric theatre with productions of West Side Story and Miss Saigon being staged beneath its Mediterranean-blue ceiling studded with twinkling stars reflecting the southern sky.
Open:  performances only. 
Box office:  9am -5pm Monday - Friday, 9am - 8pm during performances.
Tel:  93 - 20 - 50 - 00.

PADDY'S MARKETS, Corner of Thomas and Hay Streets.
Haymarket, in Chinatown, is home to Paddy's Markets, Sydney's oldest market.  It has been in this area, on a number of sites, since 1869  (with only one five-year absence).  The name's origin is uncertain, but is believed to have come from either the Chinese who originally supplied much of its produce, or the Irish, their main customers.

Once the shopping centre for the inner-city poor, Paddy's Markets is now an integral part of an ambitious development including residential apartments and the Market City Shopping Centre, with fashion outlet stores, an Asian food court and a cinema complex.  However, the familiar clamour and chaotic bargain-hunting atmosphere of the original marketplace remain.  Every weekend the market has up to 800 stalls selling everything from produce to chickens, puppies, electrical products and leather goods.
Open:  9am - 5pm Thursday - Sunday and public holidays.
Closed:  April 25, December 25.
Tel:  13 - 00 - 36 - 15 - 89.

POWERHOUSE MUSEUM
This former Poser Station, completed in 1902 to provide power for Sydney's tramway system, was redesigned to cater for the needs of a modern, hand-on museum.  Revamped, the Powerhouse opened in 1988.  The early collection was held in the Garden Palace hosting the 1879 International Exhibition of invention and industry from around the world.  Few exhibits survived the devastating 1882 fire, and today's huge and ever-expanding holdings were gathered after this disaster.  The buildings' monumental scale provides an ideal context for the epic sweep of ideas encompassed within:  everything from the realm of space and technology to the decorative and domestic arts.  The museum emphasizes Australian innovations and achievements, celebrating both the extraordinary and the everyday.
