Chinatown (Chicago IL)

Some might disagree with me but my take on Chicago’s Chinatown is that it’s a lot more authentic and ‘real’ compared to other Chinatowns around the country. When I rented a Chicago charter bus to Chinatown, it wasn’t an eye-opening experience, but I felt a lot more alive here. This rental charter bus attraction in Chicago IL is a lot smaller and less crowded than others but it’s still worth a side trip when you’re there for a holiday. Apparently, the state is planning to put some money into making this Chicago attraction worth a charter bus stop for every single tourist in Chicago!

On top of being a little less crowded than other Chinatowns, it’s also a lot cleaner….which is a much-welcomed fact. Tired after trudging around the city all day, hopping from one attraction to another in my rental charter bus, I wasn’t ready to confront loud, offensive people in less-than-pleasant surroundings. The people here selling at Chicago’s Chinatown are mainly from Hong Kong, that’s my guess. They have the same objectionable disposition which is practically a signature of Chinatowns but the food is absolutely good and there are tons of good buys all over the place. There aren’t as many shops but the deals are just as good. 

Another thing that I’d like to point out about this Chicago IL rental charter bus stop is the location. While other Chinatowns are located right smack in the middle of all that hustle and bustle of city-life, when you take a rental charter bus to Chicago’s Chinatown, you’ll feel more surreal because it’s removed from the city….but just get on a Red Line CTA train and you’ll be there in no time (if you’re not taking a rental charter bus). Don’t forget to try out their signature Dim Sum (sure winners!) and Peking Duck. All in all, it’s a leisurely (and tummy-filling) stroll here.
