The Official Chinatown Walking Tour

Uncover the layers of history woven into Manhattan’s Chinatown on this guided walking tour of its most meaningful landmarks and hidden corners. This lively neighbourhood is packed with stories – and your knowledgeable guide brings them to life with engaging anecdotes, cultural insight, and local expertise.

Wander through narrow streets alive with market stalls, vibrant signage, and the irresistible scents of traditional cooking. You’ll go beyond the surface of Chinatown, gaining access to places not typically open to tour groups while learning how this community has evolved over generations.

Along the route, you’ll visit New York’s tallest Buddha statue, explore a Taoist temple, and step into the historic Five Points area, famously featured in Gangs of New York. The experience concludes with a special visit to the Chinatown Consolidated Benevolent Association – the long-standing organisation at the heart of the community, led by the honorary “Mayor of Chinatown.”
