Quevedo is a city in the coastal region of Ecuador. It is not a city well-equipped for tourism. Regardless, accommodation, good food, and a unique cultural experience are all available. Quevedo is known for its prominent Chinese immigrant population and has even been called the "Chinatown of Ecuador". This gives it a distinct appearance and cultural feeling in relation to other Ecuadorian cities. There are many chifas (Chinese food restaurants) throughout the city of highly variable quality.
Nice crab rangoon wonton.
It is likely the finest of the hotels in the area. Large swimming pool with high dives and water slides. The hotel itself is a little ways out of the city center (though still within easy walking distance).
Clean, cheap hostel environment with apparently good security. Rooms with two beds or a matrimonio (single large bed).
Rooms are comfortable and spacious, everything its of good quality. The hotel has a bar-restaurant with homemade food. Also a boutique with imported products and clothes from USA and China. Su casa en Quevedo.
If you can speak at least a limited amount of Spanish, the best way to get around Ecuador is by bus.
Read in the guideTaxis are everywhere in the city and eager to give you a lift. It seems to be sort of an unwritten rule that a ride from anywhere to anywhere within the main city costs $1. Don't let them charge you more.
