The Old Portland Underground, better known locally as the Shanghai Tunnels, are a group of passages in Portland, mainly underneath its Old Town/Chinatown section and connecting to its main business section. The tour is about Portland's dark past, largely about the history of human trafficking. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for young kids.
