  1. Chinatown, Chicago Travel Brochure By: Anna Hayes and Nikole Trudeau

  2. Introduction On May 30th we will be taking a bus to Chinatown, Chicago. The Chinatown neighborhood in Chicago, IL, is on the South Side (located in the Armour Square community area). Centered on Cermak and Wentworth Avenues, it becomes an example of an American Chinatown, or ethnic-Chinese neighborhood. It is not to be confused with an area sometimes called "New Chinatown", which is on the North Side around Argyle Street, and which attracts a larger number of people of Southeast Asian heritage. Chicago's Chinatown emerged largely because the clusters of Chinese immigrants who had settled on the West Coast of the United States were being treated inhumanely, hence their decision to head east to find a more peaceful place to live. Throughout Chinatown there are many places to eat and see.

  3. How to Get There? You will be traveling by bus. It should take about 2 hours and 25 minutes. -Start out going southeast on E Wisconsin Ave/WI-67/WI-16 toward St Paul St. for 0.2 miles. -Enter the next roundabout and take the 2nd exit onto WI-16 Efor 15.5 miles. -Merge onto I-94 E for 11.3 miles. -Merge onto I-894 E/US-45 S via EXIT305A toward Chicago continue on that route for 4.3 miles. -Keep left to take I-894 E toward Chicago. -Keep left to take I-43 N/I-894 E via EXIT 319 toward College Avenue (Crossing into Illinois) -Keep right to take I-94 E toward Chicago-Indiana (Portions toll) -Keep left to take I-94 E toward Chicago (Portions toll) -Take EXIT 52C toward 18th St. -Turn slight left onto S Union Ave. -Take the 1st left onto W 18th St. -Turn right onto S Canal St. -Turn left onto S Archer Ave. -Take the 1st right onto S Stewart Ave. Welcome to Chinatown, ChicagoIllinois!

  4. Places to See Located at 60616 Chicago IL, the Ping Tom Memorial Park is a park in Chicago's Chinatown named after one of its most important community members. I recommend this breathtaking site to see because Ping Tom was a businessman who invested heavily in the formation and expansion of Chicago's Chinatown. Without him there would be no Chicago Chinatown.

  5. Places to See Another place to see when visiting Chinatown is the Nine Dragon Wall, which is located at Cermak Rd., Chinatown Chicago IL, 60616. I recommend this place because it's one of the only three such replicas outside of China, and it's modeled after the beautiful wall in BeiHai (North Sea) Park in Beijing. A place of utter perfection, this Chinatown art piece replicates the large dragons and over 500 smaller dragons painted in red, gold and blue signifying the Chinese focus on good fortune.

  6. Places to See The Pui Tak Center Building, located 2216 S Wentworth Ave Chicago, IL 60616, is yet another stunning place to see.The Pui Tak Center won a $100,00 grant in November 2007 by gaining the most votes over 25 other historic sites throughout Chicagoland. With it's gorgeous green and red pagoda towers topped with walls of terra cotta flowers and mother lions. I recommend this building because it truly represents the majestic traditions of China.

  7. Places to See Another breathtaking place to see is the Chinese American Museum of Chicago. Located 238 W 23rd St Chicago, IL 60616, this place is the only museum dedicated to the cultural heritage of Chinese Americans in the Midwest. I recommend this place because it's packed with so much knowledge and you can see a piece of Chinese beauty within these walls.
