Our note

This is the only offering written for children under about eight, and the $150 is for the group rather than per child, so a full class costs the same as a half one. It is all on foot outdoors on public sidewalks, so plan a washroom stop before you start.

What the children do

A Chinatown walking tour for the youngest students, focused on visual symbols: the murals depicting a Chinese family, Chinese students and a Chinatown street scene, the Gate of Harmonious Interest as a way to explain feng shui, red lanterns, the upturned eaves on the Chinese Public School roof, and dragons. Includes stories well known to Chinese children that explain what is going on in Chinatown today. Cost $150 for the group.

Walk through Chinatown looking at murals, the Gate of Harmonious Interest, lanterns, rooflines and dragons, take part in a lion dance, play a Chinese game and learn to count to four in Cantonese.

Good to know

A group-priced outdoor walking tour in Chinatown with hands-on moments built in. Duration, group size, notice period, washrooms and any wet-weather plan are not published.

Sources disagree. Two of their pages name different meeting points, both near the corner of Fisgard and Government. Confirm which one when you book, so nobody is waiting on the wrong corner.

Sources disagree. Their pages give different walking distances for the same tour, between 1.5 and 3 kilometres. Plan for the longer one with young children.
