Chinatown

  • Chinatown Square, : 2100 S Wentworth Ave, : +1 312 225-0088. This shopping center is a bit of a Chinatown landmark, with some cheesy pagoda-like structures as well as animal sculptures of the Chinese zodiac. Be sure to check out the Chinatown Mural—a mosaic of painted tiles depicting the migration of Chinese-Americans from China to, ultimately, Chicago's Chinatown.

  • Dr Sun Yat Sen Museum, : 2245 S Wentworth Ave (3rd floor, above the Chicago Food Market), : +1 312 842-5462. A one-room museum good for some Kuomintang nostalgia. Free admission
  • Nine Dragon Wall (just across Wentworth Ave from 200 W Cermak Rd). A smaller semblance of the ancient glazed tile Nine Dragon Wall located in [[Beijing]]'s Behai Park.
  • Ping Tom Memorial Park, : 300 W 19th St, Website:
