Chicago's Chinatown is a historic and cultural district that blends rich heritage with modern commercial centers. We will be taking the Water Taxi that leaves from Ogilvie train station to the Ping Tom Memorial Park dock, a scenic 12-acre riverside oasis featuring a traditional Chinese pavilion with bamboo gardens. Then we will see the Chinatown Square, a massive, pedestrian-only outdoor mall; the vibrant, 100,000-piece "Chinese in America" glass mosaic mural. We will also see the Nine Dragon Wall, standing as an authentic replica of the ancient monument in Beijing; the iconic, pagoda-topped Pui Tak Center; and the ornate traditional Chinatown Gateway. We will stop for a quick bite along the way.
Meeting at 9:45 at the ground level of Ogilvie Train station at the Hudson Bookstore. Return to Olgivie at the 3:15.
Additional costs:
Water taxi fee must be paid to the Water taxi. $10.00/one way. $5.00 senior discount with ID.
Food cost is on your own
