Lets Go to China!!


CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT

One place that I would love to travel is China, but since I’m a broke college student China is way out of my budget! However, another way to cheaply receive the authentic taste of China without actually flying there is to visit Chinatown in Seattle.

When I was younger, I went on a school filed trip to Chinatown and got to experience first hand the wonders of this town. When entering Chinatown you will quickly notice the thousands of people all exploring the unique sights, languages and smells that this exclusive district has to offer.

Just minutes away from the downtown area…anyone can go and visit this community. The best way to have the full experience is to take a Chinatown Discovery tour. According to the Chinatown Discovery website, “the tour covers the history, traditions and customs of Asians highlighting aspects of Seattle's current Chinatown community. Learn about 1,000 year old eggs, myths, legends and much more.” Also, another addition to the tour is that you can request to receive an authentic meal!

Chinatown Discovery has been in continuous operation since 1985. There 90 minute tours are available Tuesday through Saturday, but you can also request private tours too.

The best parts about the tours are that they are extremely cheap, students are $12.00 and adults are $17.00. Now that's what I call a bargain!
