Panda Garden, Best Local Chinese Food
Chinese cuisine is an important
part of Chinese culture, which
includes cuisine originating from the
diverse regions of China, as well as
from Overseas Chinese who have
settled in other parts of the world.
Because of the Chinese diaspora and
historical power of the country, Chinese
cuisine has influenced many other cuisines
in Asia, with modifications made to cater to
local palates. Chinese food staples such as
rice, soy sauce, noodles, tea, and tofu, and
utensils such as chopsticks and the wok, can
now be found worldwide.

SEE THE BEAUTY OF BOYERTOWN
The Colebrookdale Railroad connects visitors to
the history, beauty, geology, and nature of one of
the most historic, beautiful, geologically-unique,
and naturally-unspoiled valleys in the United
States—the Secret Valley. This magical land is
part of the Secret Valley Natural, Recreation,
and Heritage Area in development by the
Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust.
OLD TRACKS NEW STORY
While the Civil War-era railroad will form the
backbone of the Heritage Area, visitors will eventually
be able to travel between Pottstown and Boyertown
by hiking, biking, kayaking, canoing, and rafting. A
trail currently in planning stages, as well as the
Manatawny and Ironstone Creeks, will augment the
railroad in offering access for fishing, camping, bird
watching, nature tours, etc. Additionally, the Trust is
working to plan access to the numerous public parks
and other attractions—including one of Pennsylvania’s
premier breweries—located along the
right-of-way.
