About The tour
Chinatown extends over a fairly large area, and so, a main route has been planned to help you capture the soul of Chinatown, while two extensions offer a more in-depth perspective. Beyond just the main attractions, all the routes also give a glimpse of the daily life of the people here. If you can’t afford the time, get a general overview by visiting the high points we’ve indicated in our various summaries.
