The International District, on the southeast edge of downtown, is one of the easiest neighborhoods in the city to get to. The train station, serving both the commuter rail to and from the suburbs, and the inter-city Amtrak at King Street Station, makes access incredibly convenient. This vibrant area is known for its culinary treats, with an abundance of restaurants well worth exploring. From steamed shrimp dumplings and pork buns to savory turnip cakes and sweet egg tarts, the freshness of the dim sum in Chinatown is sure to satisfy your palate.

The Wing Luke Museum offers insights into the Asian Pacific American experience, while Uwajimaya, a renowned Asian supermarket, provides every kind of cooking paraphernalia and unique ingredients. Long-time practitioners of Chinese medicine also contribute to the district’s rich heritage.
