Designed by architect Peter Fung and modeled after a wall in Beijing, Chinatown's landmark gateway was installed in 1975. Since refurbished, the Chinatown Gate marks the entrance to the heart of Chicago's Chinatown, with its numerous shops, restaurants, churches, grocers and bakeries.

The four large Chinese characters near the top of the gate translate into "the world belongs to the commonwealth", which was a famous saying in the early part of the 1900's and reflects the spirit and determination of the Chinese people. 

The Pui Tak Center Building on Wentworth anchors the bustling commercial district.  The Pui Tak Center won the grant in November 2007 by garnering the most votes over 25 other historic sites throughout Chicagoland.

 The mural depicts the history of Chinese immigrants in the U.S as well as Chinese philosophies and social hierarchy. 

Dragons are sacred and are believed to have magical powers just like the number nine. Walk across the street from the Chinatown Gate to experience the power of The Nine Dragon Wall. 

Situated along the south branch of the Chicago River, this 12 acre park was dedicated in honor of Ping Tom, Chinatown’s most prominent civic leader.  

Completed in 1993, this two-level retail / commercial center features a multitude of colorful shops and dining spots. The heart of the square includes the Pan Asian Cultural Center ringed by twelve beautiful bronze zodiac figures. 

There are twelve statues, one for every animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Unlike the Greek zodiac, like Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, etc. which are determined by what month you’re born, your animal sign in the Chinese zodiac depends on what year you were born.

Located in S Archer Ave, to honor memorize Chinese and American veterans.
