Cultural Delights of Cho Lon

Program Details:

Begin your journey in one of the city's most culturally rich quarter of Cho Lon, being known as the largest Chinatown in the world. Start by exploring a century-old residential alley that holds generations of stories, followed by a visit to the city's biggest fabric market, a vital hub for textile trade in the southern region.

Dive into a lively fruit market, where the air is filled with the scent of tropical fruits, pickles, and even the clucking of live chickens. It's a vibrant, photogenic spot — a personal favorite — and a perfect place to sample some fresh local produce.

Hop onto a traditional rickshaw for a leisurely ride past historic buildings and narrow streets lined with herbal medicine shops. Visit two distinct Taoist temples, each dedicated to different deities. Take in the ornate architecture, witness daily rituals, and join a local tradition by writing a wish and tying it to an incense coil.

End your experience by meeting members of a long-standing Chinese community. Hear their stories, learn about their heritage, and see how their customs have been preserved across generations.
