Feast for the Senses: We’ll wander across the legendary Tang Hypermarket, a treasure trove of exotic fruits, multiple asian products and fragrant spices.
Hidden Spirituality: Explore the futuristic Olympiade complex, visit a serene Teochew temple, and a "secret" Buddhist underground place.
Monumental Street Art: Marvel at world-class, building-sized murals that have turned this district into an open-air museum.

Fantastic

Michel showed us a very special side of Chinatown. I found his insights fascinating and I was really impressed by the tour

Interesting and unique

Have been to Paris a few times and was good to see a different part of it, you can tell the guide is passionate about it too. My wife liked the food and my son-the art. He recommended a good restaurant for after too. All in all a fun tour
