Shanghai Tunnel Tours
Explore Portland’s infamous Shanghai Tunnels on an underground tour the whole family can enjoy. Winding around and beneath Old-Town/Chinatown in the heart of downtown Portland, Shanghai Tunnel Tours guides visitors on a journey both above and below ground offering a glimpse into the darker side of Portland’s past.
Many years ago Portland, Oregon had a reputation as a Shanghai town. Unsuspecting visitors and locals alike were kidnapped and moved through a maze of underground tunnels and forced into slavery on ships waiting at the city’s waterfront. Shanghai Tunnel Tours are an educational and informative way to learn about Portland’s past.
Tour reservations can be made online and can be tailored to the specific interests of your group or party. Shanghai Tunnel Tours are also a great way to get acquainted with other Portland visitors and locals because tours groups are often combined into larger parties and meet at local restaurants and pubs, including Hobo’s downtown, and The Barrel Room.
Be sure to make your reservations in advance and wear appropriate attire. Tours last from one to two hours and involve a lot of walking and standing. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes and a sweater in case the underground tunnels are cold. Flashlights will be provided by your tour guide.
