TOP 8 THINGS TO DO IN CHINATOWN, CHICAGO

These are my top things to do in Chinatown, Chicago Illinois in 2021! In this vlog and guide, we cover things like Chinatown Food, Chinese Architecture, Parks, Shops, Boba Tea, Shaved Ice, Karaoke, and much more!
Chinatown is a relatively small neighborhood that I mentally split up into three areas: Wenthworth Ave., Chinatown Square, and the Ping Tom Memorial Park. It is a short train ride from downtown, and you can even take the water taxi to this area. Let me know your thoughts on this list in the comments below!

[@explorewithmartha6297]

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾🤗 Chinatown is always beautiful to explore🤩 👍🏾

[@WanderlustWellman]

It really is! Thanks for watching

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Wow. The pagoda tower is cool. Realistic sized shops? Katy went to CHIcago CHInatown and went to the same candy store and to mango mango. The plating at the veggie house was so nice! We need a video of you two doing karaoke!

[@WanderlustWellman]

That’s really cool! She has good taste 👍 and idk if the internet is ready for that hahaha 😂

[@SARAEBAUER]

I'm so behind on watching your videos! Need to catch up. Thanks for the shout-out and I loooove this video! Had no clue about the shaved ice spot - it looks delicious. I also DEFINITELY need to visit for a karaoke night!!! 😂 Nice job!!!!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha it's all good, there is so much content on KZbin to always try and stay up to date with (not to mention creating it, am I right?). Thanks for comment, I was hoping you'd be okay with me including that little portion of your video haha. And I agree about the karaoke!

[@SARAEBAUER]

@@WanderlustWellman I think I'm world's slowest editor lol, so can relate to the creating part! Will be catching up on more of your videos over the weekend - can't wait!

[@kevinbag1]

Heading to Chicago next weekend! We intend to sight see and eat at all of these spots! Thank you!!

[@WanderlustWellman]

That’s great, Chinatown will be a great neighborhood to check out. Enjoy your trip!

[@karonhamilton7314]

I love this video and the triple crown restruant there!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks a lot! 😊

[@ChicagoBoiADRMX.]

My favorite!!!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Chinatown in Chicago is pretty rad!

[@jimwilson774]

I've only been there one time. Been to Chicago several times, though I live in Indiana. My 6th grade teacher took the class to Chicago, and Chinatown. This video shows it's a lot different today than it was in 1971 when I was there.

[@WanderlustWellman]

That's wonderful, and I'm not surprised that it's changed a lot in the last 40 years

[@JessicaKwon]

amazing tour 👍🏼👍🏼

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks!

[@80ssnorklover7]

When I move one day maybe I could live in Chicago Chinatown now looking at this video.❤

[@WanderlustWellman]

That's wonderful, it definitely is a really great area to spend some time in!

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

I live outside (northwest) of the city and I would love to go back there soon, because I enjoy the food and souvenir shops. For my birthday as a gift, my mom bought me a battery-operated golden cat statue that waves. Very cute. I've only been to one restaurant in Chinatown and I think it's out of business and that's Won Kow. I'm also amazed just how inexpensive merchandise is over there, considering it's in Chicago and they're imported.

[@WanderlustWellman]

I hope you go back to Chinatown soon, thanks for sharing your own memories and experiences!

[@royfechter7291]

You give helpful information - keep up the good job! Here’s a bit of advice though: look in the camera lens, that’s where your viewer is. You are looking away from your viewer if you’re looking at the camera’s viewfinder screen. A couple of inches makes a difference!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks so much! I’ll keep that in mind, I try and be authentic and want to connect with my viewers more so I’ll definitely work on it👍

[@ReiseVisionen]

Very intressting upload. Take care and have a nice week my friend.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thank you! You too!

[@LanihParish]

those sweets are yum

[@WanderlustWellman]

They really were!

[@lonnieclemens8028]

I miss Chinatown and Chicago. I'm having withdrawals.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha I can understand that, maybe it’s time to visit Chicago again soon!

[@jesusgutierrez7347]

Hi how many time do you spent just walk around all china town? Thank you!

[@WanderlustWellman]

It depends on how many stores you go into and if you get any meals, but I would recommend a half day to a full day!

[@orangemanbad]

Great video! Are you from Chicago? I’m looking at moving there with a great job offer. The crime stats you see all over tv make me nervous. I’m assuming most crime is in gang areas like most cities?

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks! I only lived in Chicago for a year, so I wouldn't say I'm an absolute expert on the matter. What I will say is that most cities in the USA make me feel sketched out with the homeless people, swindlers, odd people on public transportation, etc. That being said, it is mostly localized to gang areas in the south side of Chicago. Crime still happens in traditionally more "safe" areas, but I honestly think if you have street smarts and stay out of trouble, it really isn't as big of an issue as you may think.

[@luckyjanetravel]

very beautiful building china town in Chicago and look yummy ice cream

[@WanderlustWellman]

I agree, thanks!

[@elanatapp3070]

Can I take an uber to Chinatown from milinium Station?

[@WanderlustWellman]

Absolutely!

[@kvibes2022]

I miss Chinatown Chicago

[@WanderlustWellman]

I do too!

[@lonnieclemens8028]

Is there a place in Chicago where I can purchase a Tang Dynasty sword? I am doing a photoshoot with a clothing style from the Tang Dynasty. I already have most of the clothing. But I need an authentic reproduction sword from the Tang Dynasty time period. Thank you very much.

[@WanderlustWellman]

I don't unfortunately, I hope you find what you're looking for though!

[@boxman123abc]

bro recommended a veggie restaurant first...

[@JacobYuanHang]

Best things to do in Chicago Chinatown: Japanese candy store French bakery Japanese sushi Vietnamese restaurant 😂

[@JacobYuanHang]

You didn't build the neighborhood but I found it funny

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha I definitely included a lot of things besides ones that are strictly "Chinese", but there is a lot of things that are very Chinese on this list as well!

[@touvang667]

It's not all that good. I was there the thing about it. The whole Chinatown itself has no public restrooms. Even the restaurants don't allow you to use their bathroom and your freaking dining in.🤯🤯

[@gerthao5305]

Agree they will not even care about it, if you going to shit in your pant

[@nicolefnjane]

Tu deh zheure

[@kadeemsucks1919]

Oh no man, those are the 3 worst restaurant recommendations. Only Richland was good.

[@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia]

not that big of a deal

[@WanderlustWellman]

Well make sure to check out my future content showcasing Chinatown in Singapore!

[@lucianion1]

Thought I would see Chinatown... instead half of your video is showing your face. Thanks.
