Barrio Chino

3.5/5

2 reviews

Barrio Chino(as it is known locally) is located in the historic center of Mexico City, adjacent to the Palace of Fine Arts and Alameda Central Park. Its main area extends along Dolores Street, spanning only a few short blocks, making it exceptionally compact among Chinatowns worldwide. Chinese immigrants gathered here to open shops in the early 20th century, and today it remains a symbolic gathering place for thousands of local Chinese-Mexican families. Red lanterns and Chinese signs appear alongside the old city's Mexican architecture, making the atmosphere of two cultures coexisting closely immediately recognizable. The Chinese-style archway "Chung Hwa," completed in 2008, stands at the entrance, adorned with ceramic tiles from China and flanked by a stone lion on each side. It serves as the landmark of the entire neighborhood and a popular spot for tourists to take photos.

Museum of Tequila and Mezcal

4.5

3.0/5

32 reviews

The Tequila Museum, built by the century-old winery La Rojeña, is an immersive space for exploring the culture of Mexico's national wine. The exhibition hall was transformed from an old winery. The red brick arcade and steel frame structure retain the industrial texture. The core exhibition area uses light and shadow installations and real objects to fully present the entire process of agave plant planting, baking and fermentation to distillation and aging. The interactive experience is the highlight: identify the aroma differences of different agave varieties in the "olfactory tunnel" and watch craftsmen demonstrate the process of cooking agave cores in traditional stone ovens. The museum displays the original 18th-century copper distiller, and the underground wine cellar restores the oak barrel aging environment. It is a 3-minute walk from the subway station. It is recommended to avoid the peak of the music square on weekend afternoons. Backpacks are not allowed to enter the museum, and free lockers are provided. After the visit, you can experience the mariachi culture on the square, or walk north for 8 minutes to the main church in the old city.

We did all the activities as it was quiet and there were no long lines. My favorite was swimming in the river which we did twice, both times taking the longer route. It was so beautiful and there are so many photos to remember our experience.

It is a very interesting museum. It introduces the history and production process of tequila. Students who are interested in it can go and visit it. At night, you can also hear the singing of Mariachi, a Mexican mariachi music, in the square next to the museum.

Located on the north side of Revolution Avenue, in the center of the Republic Square. From a distance, it looks like a doorway. When you walk in, you will find that it is a doorway structure with four sides. There is also a translucent elevator in the middle for you to go up and visit, but it seems that you need to buy a ticket. The shape looks very unique and it is a landmark building.
