Washington is a multinational city that introduces you to the culture and traditions of the peoples of different countries of the world. One of the most colorful and attractive areas is Chinatown - the concentration of the best Chinese restaurants, shops, and other themed establishments. It is worth noting that Eastern traditions have become an integral part of Washington: the incredibly beautiful and romantic National Cherry Blossom Festival is held here every year.
It is dedicated to the significant event that occurred in 1912. The mayor of Tokyo decided to present the city a few sakura trees as a gift. It was decided to plant them next to an artificial lake near the Washington City Canal. Since then, the trees delight locals and guests of the capital with their unique look every spring. The festival is held in early April - interesting exhibitions dedicated to the culture of Japan are organized as part of the holiday. Another part of the large-scale festival is the traditional Smithsonian Kite Festival , and the National Mall remains a permanent venue for its holding. Amazing architecture and historical heritage, a rich cultural program and an abundance of entertainment facilities are just a few attractive features that make Washington irresistible in the eyes of modern tourists.
