[2] The Davao City Chinatown Development Council (DCCDC) was established to assist the conservation of the area's cultural heritage and the implementation of policies in that regard.

The Chinese gate archways are inspired by páilou (牌樓) or páifāng (牌坊), a traditional style of architectural arch in China.

The common mode of transportation in the city is PUVs (public utility vehicles), like jeepneys and multicabs, that are accessible within the downtown area.

In minor streets, Cycle rickshaw, also known to locals as a pedicab, offers a ride along a short distance for a low fare cost.

While metered cabs reaching multiple landmarks are the alternative ride for convenient travel built with GPS, or the Global Positioning System.
