15:00 Walking tour of the old Chinatown — Millionka.
The gathering place is Primorsky Arbat, Fokina str., 5, at the third fountain.
Millionka is a maze of courtyards and wells in the very center of Vladivostok, at the beginning of the last century there was a local Chinatown inhabited by a "million" Chinese, the most criminal quarter of the port city with brothels, thieves' raspberries and opium smokeries.
The spirit of adventurism still hovers here, although the thievish age of the Millionaires ended with an NKVD raid in the 1930s.
Now the quarter is inhabited by creative bohemians, who open fashion stores, coffee shops and art residences here and gradually put the almost slum landscape in order.
