In Mexicali, an underground secret is hidden that reveals part of the Asian past and its dynamics in the locality. This is La Chinesca, a subsoil neighborhood created by immigrants in the 1900s, when they came to the city after working in the fields of Colorado. The rooms include hospitals, a temple, and casinos with opium dens, built in basements to escape the high temperatures.
