china town walking tour

Inviting Peking duck on a plate, steaming dim sums, majong games, fragrant exotic shops and ornate temples? And how come there are suddenly dragons and bright red lanterns everywhere? What has Fun Amsterdam done with the Amsterdam that you know or come to expect?

Don’t worry, you are just on a walking tour through the city’s Chinatown in Zeedijk Street and Nieuwmarkt, the centre of the Chinese community here for many years.

The ancestors of the local Chinese community were mostly seafarers who were working as stokers on ships, and who began to settle on these unfamiliar shores around 1900.

Knowing all that, your tour will be lead by your informative guide who will walk you through china town, past the He Hua Temple with the possibility for a guided tour inside by one of the temple guides. 

After your guided tour, make sure to try some of the local delicacy such as very delicious roast ducks.
