Portland Chinatown Museum
The Portland Chinatown Museum is Oregon's first museum about Chinese American history, art and culture. Portland's Chinatown is a powerful site of historical memory, its buildings harboring and evoking stories of Portland's first truly multicultural neighborhood stretching back to the city's beginnings. The role and influence of the Chinese is one of Oregon's hidden stories. Despite anti-Chinese legislation and racial discrimination, Chinese merchants and workers were the earliest and largest non-European immigrant group to settle and to build in Oregon. By 1900 Portland's Chinatown ranked as the second largest Chinatown in America. Our Museum provides a new cultural attraction while contributing to the preservation and revitalization of Old Town Chinatown during a time of rapid transformation. We are proud to share this history.

South Waterfront Lower Tram Terminal
The Tram is a popular destination for tourists, locals and people just looking to try something fun. The lower tram terminal is at the intersection of South Moody Avenue & Gibbs Street --the most transportation-diverse intersection in the country. Besides one of the nation's only aerial commuter trams, you'll see cars, buses, a streetcar, a soaring pedestrian bridge, a cycle track and the densest bike parking in America's #1 biking city. Bike valet is offered free to the public at Portland Aerial Tram Monday through Friday. Exiting the upper terminal you'll see the largest enclosed sky bridge in North America. Take a right to access an outdoor patio with seating and views of the terminal, the cityscape, the Willamette River and, on a clear day, Mount Hood and Mount St Helens. The upper terminal links to the 4T Trail--a self-guided tour by train, trail, tram and trolley. Much of Marquam Hill is a natural area with several trails.

Bottled beer runs from New Castle to Sol, rounded out with domestics along with a wide variety of spirits. Sit at the bar and you'll never miss anyone entering or exiting.
