Education
Join us on A Tale of Two Chinatowns!
After leading tours for over twenty years, over the last few months, we have made some changes to our Heritage Walking Tour. We refreshed our theme, updated our tour curriculum, and have brought in new docents to reenergize our tour and re-imagine the landscape of Chinatown, as seen through the Chinese Culture Center. In the process, we were able to ask: which stories embody the Chinese American experience and Chinatown today?
Join us! We now have regular Saturday tours, and are offering discounts if you book online. Enter the code 'CCCENEWS' at checkout after buying tickets here.
If you are interested in becoming a storyteller of Chinatown, apply to be a CCC Heritage Walk docent here.
