Part 16

Navigate Liberty City's districts, complete Random Character encounters, and master all the races and weapon ranges in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Alright, let's dive into Part 16 of our Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars adventure! This section is all about wrapping up some of the game's side activities and getting a feel for the different parts of Liberty City. Think of it as a checklist to really round out your experience.

First up, we've got a bunch of Course Time Trials to tackle. These are races where you're up against the clock, not other drivers. You'll need to master the tracks for:

• Patriot Park TT
• Wetscapade TT
• Boulevard Boogie TT
• Dukes Dust Up TT
• Go-Kar-TT

Next, let's get serious with the Street Race Tournaments. These are more involved than the time trials and will test your driving skills against opponents:

• Transfender Invitational
• S&M Grand Slam
• Hi-Way Tire Tourney

Don't forget about honing your combat skills at the Liberty City Gun Club. You'll need to ace all five Weapon Ranges:

• Pistol
• SMG
• Shotgun
• Grenades
• Sniper Rifle

Beyond that, keep an eye out for the Random Characters. You'll need to complete one encounter with Cherie, Guy, Marcy, Tommy, Selma, Giorgio, and Alonzo. Wilhelm requires a bit more dedication, with three encounters needed. These encounters often pop up unexpectedly as you're cruising around, so be ready to switch gears!

For PSP Version owners only: If you're playing on the PSP, you've got some extra goodies. There are five additional Main Story missions:

• Parking Pickle (Chan Jaoming)
• Dock'u'Mental (Melanie Mallard)
• Factory Fun (Melanie Mallard)
• Half Cut (Melanie Mallard)
• Sources (Chan Jaoming)

You also get five extra Rampages, each in a different district:

• [NLD-R31] (North Holland)
• [VTH-R32] (Varsity Heights)
• [FTS-R33] (Fortside)
• [ETC-R34] (East Island City)
• [DTN-R35] (Downtown)

There are also three additional Riding Shotgun Rampages:

• East Holland (Algonquin)
• Little Bay (Bohan)
• Hove Beach (Broker)

And finally, four extra Checkpoint Races:

• Highway Heat (North Holland)
• Comet's Tail (Northern Gardens)
• Home Run (Meadows Park)
• Dock Front Dash (East Hook Bay)

Now, let's get a lay of the land. Liberty City is broken down into several distinct areas:

Broker is where you'll start. It's mostly Triad territory, with areas like Cerveza Heights and the Broker Navy Yard. You'll find a mix of lower-class neighborhoods here, often inhabited by Russians and Jamaicans.

The Dukes area offers some nicer homes and neighborhoods, along with large parks like Meadows Park. It's connected to Bohan and Charge Island.

Bohan, to the north, is a mix of heavy industry and rundown apartments.

Charge Island sits between Bohan and Dukes and houses the city's waste treatment center.

Francis International Airport is located to the east of Broker and Dukes.

Algonquin is the bustling heart of Liberty City. The northern part has apartments and middle-class homes, with Middle Park offering a green escape. High-class areas are east and west of the park, while Star Junction is the entertainment hub. The tallest building, Rotterdam Tower, is just south of Star Junction. The southern half is dominated by skyscrapers, but Little Italy and Chinatown manage to thrive.

Further out, Castle Gardens has a park with ocean views. Colony Island to the east has apartments, businesses, and a cemetery. And Happiness Island to the southwest is home to the Statue of Happiness.

This overview should give you a solid understanding of the city as we move into the main part of the guide, starting with the very beginning of Huang's journey.
