But how is Kolkata connected to the Chinese community?

The area of Tangra is located in the eastern part of Kolkata about 5 kms from the main city. The area gets its name Chainatown as the large numbers of people staying here have their origin from China or eastern Asia. The area of Tangra which is the only Chinatown in the whole country has some of the best Chinese restaurants in the city and one can experience the old Chinese charm with the chinese temples and the cultural centres located here. This place gives you a true taste of Chinese culture in every sense.
