Flushing In Queens, NY Walking Tour - Part 2

Original Film Date: Tuesday October 22, 2024

This is the second Flushing, Queens walking tour video I filmed on October 2024, making this Part 2. Flushing is known to be New York's largest Chinatown that's bigger than Lower Manhattan's Chinatown in area size and population of Chinese immigrants. I was so surprised to see Flushing as a big Chinatown that there's so many Chinese businesses with people from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong working there and I had a feeling that I was in China for a moment. Flushing also has South Koreans as they're a part of the community and mostly next door neighbors living in Murray Hill, Bayside, Auburndale, and Douglaston in northern Queens. The next video I filmed after this video is a walkthrough tour of Koreatown in Murray Hill. Sorry about some parts in the middle of the video that look a little blurry. My phone's camera was blurry, while I was in the middle of filming.

I have seen Flushing changed more with new developments, more Chinese coming in and expanding the nearby areas, new apartments built, and the newly built malls like Tangram and The Shops at Skyview. Both Tangram and Shops at Skyview are shown in the Part 2 Walking Tour. Like other expensive and developing communities in New York, Flushing is another place experiencing rising rent, more traffic each day, it continues to be crowded like always, and some other changes coming up soon.

Flushing has some Hindu and Buddhist temples in the East Flushing community. There is only one Russian Orthodox Church (Annunciation Russian Orthodox Church) with religious Russians going there for Sunday masses. Of course, there are Korean restaurants and businesses in East Flushing next to Murray Hill. For people commuting to Flushing, it's usually some Chinese people who moved to Kew Gardens Hills, Elmhurst, Queensboro Hill, Jackson Heights, Murray Hill, Bayside, Jamaica, Whitestone, Astoria, some Long Island suburbs, and the southeast Bronx (like Throgs Neck and Pelham Bay).

College Point is a residential neighborhood involved in this video located north above Flushing and pretty close to the Bronx. It borders with Flushing, Whitestone, and Malba. College Point is below the southeast Bronx and you can visit the Whitestone Bridge connecting with both Queens and the Bronx by driving. College Point has a diverse demographics of Colombians, Mexicans, Chinese, Greek Americans, some Italian Americans, some Koreans, and a few Puerto Ricans. College Point isn't known for much things, but the College Point Fields is a green space park offering sports fields and a roller-hockey area. There are construction warehouses, some Chinese-owned hotels, a few MTA bus stops, several business stores, small local parks, and a Police Academy for trained police officers.
