Chinatown, Chicago
Chinatown
A Chinatown lined with Chinese restaurants and the “All Under Heaven” gate on Wentworth Avenue, plus Chinatown Square and Ping Tom Park by the river.
Chinatown is about 3 km south of the Loop. Its center is the “Tianxia Weigong” (All Under Heaven Belongs to the Public) gate on Wentworth Avenue. Cantonese and Sichuan restaurants, dim sum houses and bakeries are dense here, making it the easiest place in the city to get Chinese food. On the north side, Chinatown Square features a sculpture of the twelve zodiac animals. Along the river, Ping Tom Park has Chinese-style pavilions. In summer, you can take a water taxi between here and downtown. Take the Red Line to Cermak–Chinatown station.
