Show Me Your Neighborhood - Chinatown Tour
Tuesday, April 23 from 2:00-4:00 pm
Capacity is limited and registration is required
Other tour guide organizations offer Show Me Your Neighborhood programs where guides take other members on walking tours highlighting what makes their areas special. The Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association (CTPA) periodically offered these programs before 2020, and we would like to make it a regular occurrence!
Learn about Chinatown on a walking tour from the founder of the Chicago Chinese Cultural Institute, Z.J. Tong, a long-time member of CTPA. He developed the original Chinatown tour 20 years ago and is recognized for his expertise on the area. Attractions featured on the tour include Historical Commercial Wentworth Avenue, Chinatown Gate, Nine Dragon Wall, Landmark On-Leong Merchants Association (Pui Tak Center today), Chinese Buddhist Temple, St. Therese Catholic Church, Chinese Zodiac Square, Chinese Marble Lions, Four Greatest Inventions of ancient Chinese, Chinatown Mural, and Ping Tom Memorial Park. The tour starts at the northeast corner of Cermak and Wentworth in front of the Chinese Pavilion

- The cost is $5 per ticket with all of the proceeds going to the guide,
- CTPA members can register non-CTPA guests to join them on the tour,

We hope you can join this Chinatown tour and that there are many other Show Me Your Neighborhood experiences throughout the year!
