Chinatown

San Francisco's Chinatown is one of the oldest and largest Chinatowns in North America, brimming with vibrant colors, rich history, and cultural heritage. Entering through the iconic Dragon Gate, visitors are greeted by bustling streets lined with traditional herbal shops, lively markets, and authentic restaurants. The neighborhood is known for its ornate architecture, historic temples, and festive events, such as the annual Chinese New Year Parade. It's a cultural enclave that offers a unique glimpse into Chinese traditions and cuisine while providing a lively and immersive experience.

Chinatown is located in San Francisco’s downtown. Make sure to take your time exploring the plenty of shops and restaurants here. 

Along your way be sure to stop at the Fortune Cookie Factory to pick up some flavoured fortune cookies! We planned to have dinner at House of Nanking, a restaurant that is featured in the TV Show Chef Dynasty: House of Fang. The food here was delicious!

This is one of the oldest and most established Chinatowns in the U.S.  I recommend taking a walking tour. 
Be sure to check out China Live - a 
Modern marketplace & culinary stop offering multi-course Chinese fare, casual snacks & artisan teas. 

The oldest Chinatown in North America, San Francisco’s Chinatown is a vibrant district with colorful architecture, markets, and authentic Chinese eateries. Explore historic temples, sample dim sum, and enjoy unique shopping opportunities.

Un lugar fantástico para hacer compras a buen precio y comer comida asiática espectacular!
