The region Old Town is an historic landmark and was of the major water ports when it was at its highest peak. The MAX Light Rail is a great option to use for transportation if you want to see and make your way through Old Town & Chinatown. 

Portland Classical Chinese Garden is a good attraction that you would want to see while visiting Chinatown.  You might find it to be relatively new if you haven’t been to Chinatown in a while.  That’s because it was opened in Septebmer of 2000 and continues to make the area look rich and youthful.
