Every year we take a trip to Chicago's Chinatown to see the sights, sample the food and of course take some time for souvenir shopping.
These trips can involve a considerable amount of walking, and are outdoors so dress appropriately for the weather! Check the schedule to see the trip itinerary and how much walking is involved.
We usually take a tour from Ping Tom Memorial Park to Chinatown Square to see the Zodiac statues and the Foo Dogs; to The Chinatown Pagoda and The Nine Dragon Wall.
We cross the street to the north end of Wentworth and the Chinatown Gate, and head south taking some time for souvenir shopping and to sample local delicacies.
Finishing the day with a dinner at a local restaurant.
