Explorar Georgetown: Um passeio a pé pelo patrimônio de Chennai
Descrição
Nesta excursão, exploramos o movimentado bairro de Georgetown. Esta área é composta por bazares especializados bem estabelecidos, com pequenas ruas sinuosas, armazéns, mercados grossistas cobertos, bancas de rua e lojas de retalho. Originalmente chamada de "Cidade Negra", a área surgiu no final de 1600 após a fundação do Forte St. George. A população local instalou-se aqui para negociar e fazer negócios com o forte. Uma parte da Cidade Negra foi destruída em 1700, para fornecer uma área aberta fora do Forte St. George. Os moradores de Blacktown se recolocaram logo além da área aberta, no que foi chamado New Black Town. Em meados de 1800, a área aberta (antiga Cidade Negra) foi usada para construir o grande edifício do Supremo Tribunal de Madras. Em 1910, quando o rei George visitou a Índia, Blacktown foi renomeada Georgetown. Hoje Georgetown continua a ser uma área de mercado movimentada, vendendo tudo sob o sol: pulseiras, tecidos, frutas, legumes, especiarias, papelaria, jóias, etc.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
De ser a cidade negra para se tornar um mercado atacadista movimentado, George Town em Chennai já viu de tudo. Um mercado onde praticamente tudo o que pode ser legalmente vendido pode ser comprado pelo preço certo. O passeio a pé leva você para o coração do mercado de vegetais e flores, com histórias fascinantes que fornecem um contexto para as vistas coloridas. Uma visita ao coração de George Town é uma experiência que você não vai esquecer. Mercados lotados, ruas estreitas, história fascinante e imagens fascinantes estão lhe dando as boas-vindas para experimentar a cultura colorida e rica.
O Tribunal Superior de Chennai, originalmente estabelecido em 1862 por decreto da Rainha Vitória, é um dos edifícios mais icônicos da cidade. Conhecida por sua grandeza e arquitetura indo-sarcênica, a High Court tem sido o coração do sistema legal de Tamil Nadu por mais de um século. No entanto, sua história não se limita ao seu papel no direito e na justiça. Um dos capítulos mais dramáticos da sua história ocorreu durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, quando, em 1914, o edifício foi alvo de submarinos alemães em uma tentativa de perturbar o controle britânico sobre seus territórios coloniais.
Este passeio de Chennai nos leva pela rua histórica onde os refugiados armênios estabeleceram o comércio de seda, especiarias e gemas há mais de 300 anos. Explore a característica Igreja Armênia para uma experiência imersiva desta rica história.
Este icônico edifício de estilo Art Deco está cheio de história e uma vez serviu como sede da empresa de Parry, fundada por Thomas Parry, um gales e um dos primeiros comerciantes livres de Chennai. O edifício tem o nome de John Dare, parceiro de negócios de Parry, refletindo seu papel significativo na formação do legado comercial da cidade. Hoje, ela é testemunha do espírito empreendedor e da grandeza arquitetônica de uma era passada.

NOTHING....the meeting point as stated in the booking confirmation was changed...even a policeman did not know where the location was. The guide took me down 1 part of the market and then told me the rest would not be open...he then took me on a walk through parts of George town...parts of it was scary...at 1 point we went down stairs and under an isolated dingy and flooded bridge. As for the water and snacks that was part of the package...I recieved nothing...what a rip off
Hi Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the meeting point and any inconvenience caused by the changes to the original plan. It appears there was a miscommunication regarding the opening hours of the shops in the bazaar, as they typically open later in the day. We also regret that the experience did not meet your expectations and that the promised water and snacks were not provided. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we will address these concerns with the guide and team to ensure future improvements. We appreciate your understanding. Warm regards, The Wonder tours team
