America's Largest Chinatown
6 shoudios
The 24 square blocks of San Franciscos dynamic Chinatown teem with activity 365 days a year. Beloved Grant Avenue, with its red lanterns and bright facades, brims with woks, kites, and kitschy souvenirs galore. Locals shop at Stockton Streets bargain-priced open-air markets, or relax and gossip at monument-filled Portsmouth Square. Enticing smells waft through the air: dim sum dumplings, mooncakes from traditional bakeries, and fortune cookies from a back-alley factory. Vying for space on the packed thoroughfares and quiet alleyways are old-fashioned apothecaries, incense-filled temples, historic churches, one-seat barbershops, family benevolent associations, serene teahouses, fresh fruit stalls, and worlds more. Author: Barbara Rockwell Barbara Rockwell is a San Francisco-based writer specializing in travel and the arts. A native of the SF Bay Area, she has written for guidebooks including "Step by Step San Francisco" and "Smart Guide San Francisco," and regularly contributes to a variety of destination-based websites.
