Free Chinatown Food Tour

Take a tour of mainland China, Hong Kong, Korea and Vietnam with frequent food stops to refuel as we explore this small but might and uniquely Philly Chinatown.   With a densely packed wealth of delicious food and rich culture.  Journey from the search for "gim sa" (Golden Mountain) to a rail worker bachelor society, to the birth of a vocal, thriving and striving cultural enclave that is more than just a business district but a diverse and eclectic "Asian Town". that many call home.

 

 

Join Free Tours by Foot for a 2.5 hour tour of Philadelphia's Chinatown, a journey through the history and culture of this rich and growing community.  We have designed this tour to provide visitors with excellent insight into the neighborhood's culinary possibilities and the distinctive personality of this diverse Asian neighborhood.
