Now, Taiwanese as well as Chinese mainlanders are also moving/have also moved to Alhambra, as well as San Gabriel, Monterey Park, Rosemead... pretty much a good portion of the SGV.
According to my partner, it's becoming more and more common to hear Mandarin spoken with Beijing accents, as well as other mainland Chinese languages, in the SGV.
