As you listen to the guide’s stories, you’ll observe the buildings that housed ancient Chinese societies from the late 19th to early 20th century.

Since the early 20th century, this neighborhood has been shared by the original Chinese descendants who cherish their inherited homes, and new arrivals to Panama who settle here to join the workforce of the Panama Canal.
