Walking Tour: Philadelphia's Chinatown (English language)
Philadelphia's Chinatown
Philadelphia's Chinatown traces its start back to 1871, when a Cantonese immigrant named Lee Fong opened a laundry business at 913 Race Street. Chinatown stands out as a vibrant part of Center City, where generations of families have lived, worked, played, and worshiped. Sarah Yeung, an urban planner and the founder of Sojourner Consulting, will lead a walking tour of Chinatown with Harry Leong, who is president of the Philadelphia Suns organization and a lifelong resident of Philadelphia's Chinatown. Their 90-minute tour will focus on stories of the ordinary people--small business owners, working-class families, and others--who have given Chinatown life over the past 150 years.
This tour will be conducted in English. A Chinese-language tour will take place on June 10.
REGISTRATION IS NOW FULL. Registrants will receive the meeting location the week of the tour!
