Neighborhood

Located on Chicago’s South Side, Chinatown is a vibrant business district brimming with an array of specialty shops, cafes, dim sum spots, and teahouses. The robust Chinatown Square outdoor mall boasts plenty of additional shopping and dining opportunities as well as intricate murals and sculptures.

Chinatown residents enjoy a peaceful reprieve from an otherwise bustling atmosphere at the 12-acre Ping Tom Memorial Park, situated along the south branch of the Chicago River. The neighborhood provides a strong sense of community at numerous year-round events, from the annual Summer Fair to the Lunar New Year Parade. Getting around from Chinatown is easy with access to the Red Line, I-55, and I-90.
