Chinatown in Denver, Colorado, was a residential and business district of Chinese Americans in what is now the LoDo section of the city. The first Chinese resident of Denver arrived in 1869 and lived in a shanty at Wazee and F Streets. Additional Chinese immigrants arrived the following year.

The Denver Office of Storytelling has created a documentary commemorating Denver’s Historic Chinatown and, after months of interviews, filming, and editing, is excited to share the completed documentary!

The Shaolin Hung Mei Kung Fu Association is proud to have been offered the opportunity to share this documentary at its “Academy of Chinese Martial and Cultural Arts.” While admission is free, we do request tax-deductible donations and suggest a minimum of $10.00/person.
