One of the easiest places to think of when traveling the world here in DC would be Chinatown. So head to this area of the city and connect with the Chinatown Community Cultural Center located on H street. This is an amazing organization that offers Tai Chi, Kung Fu and Chinese Calligraphy classes for free. There are organized hours on the weekends and in the evenings during the week but if you contact them they may be able to get the Wong People to come and give a class during regular school hours. These types of classes really bring learning alive and give students something to go home with practicing on their own.
The Community Center is also a great resource for learning about the Chinatown Community, for a lending library and also a great place to contact about making a hands on field trip throughout the neighborhood. There are local bakeries, traditional pharmacies and restaurants that they can point you to for adding to your trip to the community center. Definitely head down to the area and scope everything out because you will not want to miss anything!Contact Info:
