Step into a world where past, future, reality and imagination collide in the heart of Sydney's Chinatown.

This exciting walking tour, inspired by the Art Gallery's exhibition Cao Fei: My City is Yours 曹斐: 欢迎登陆, will lead you through Chinatown’s bustling streets. You'll encounter the sites and sensations that artist Cao Fei experienced while developing the exhibition, including the now closed Marigold yum cha restaurant, the jostling signage, the aroma of traditional Chinese herbal medicines, the buzz of market vendors, and more.

'Behind your city' has been co-produced by Soul of Chinatown, a local non-profit organisation dedicated to revitalising Sydney’s Chinatown through storytelling, advocacy, events and community.

Tickets must be pre-booked.

Select tours will be interpreted into Mandarin and Cantonese. Accessible tours are offered on 7 December 2024 and 22 March 2025.

To begin this tour, meet at the City Mark Building (corner of George and Hay Streets). 

You are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat. Bring a bottle of water, sunscreen, and an umbrella in case of light rain. As the majority of the tour is outdoors, in the event of heavy rain, tours will need to be rescheduled.
