Join Alki Tours on Chinatown, Dim Sum, And Smith Tower
Febuary 5 2008
$59 per person
Built on a reclaimed mud flat, the Chinatown-International District holds memories for many of Seattle's Asian Americans, and it's a fascinating neighborhood for everyone to explore. See the Milwaukee Hotel, built by Chinese consul Goon Dip in 1911. His family lived on the top floor, and immigrant workers rented the rooms below. Due to the 1882 Exclusion Act that blocked Chinese laborers from bringing wives to America, many of these men lived alone in hotels the rest of their lives. Enjoy a fun presentation on Chinese culture followed by a fascinating tour and a 6-course Dim Sum lunch. After lunch, head to the top of the Smith Tower to the Chinese Room to hear the legends and have fun.
