“Shanghai Tunnel Tours” are a complete waste of money and time. For one thing, they are not real: there is no evidence that “shanghai-ing” ever took place in Portland. There are also no actual tunnels… this is a dirt-floor foundation of a commercial building: freezing and the winter and stifling in the summer. Secondly, most of the “relics” have disappeared; there is little more down there than a pair of beat-up antique shoes and an old wicker chair, tho you may be able to nick a #10 can of fruit… this is Hobo’s basement, after all. Which leads to be best reason to avoid this “attraction”: Hobo’s Restaurant is alive and well, and you will clearly hear it during your tour; patrons were signing karaoke during the tour I went on, and the guide kept losing her place in the “ghost” story.
