The first Chinatown in North America in San Francisco is also very big.

Chinatown in San Francisco can be said to be a large Chinese community outside Asia. In the United States, except Chinatown in new york, other Chinese gathering places always feel so chicken-ribbed.

Although Chinatown is surrounded by the spectacular Union Square and the western financial center, it does not affect the Chinese flavor of Chinatown at all. Everywhere you go, you see beautiful buildings and Chinese plaques, which makes people feel completely strange in another country.

Main street 1

There are two main streets in Chinatown: one is Duban Street, along which you can see the "Zhonghua Gate" archway on Bush Street, the statue of Sun Yat-sen in Santa Maria Square and the Veterans War Memorial Hall. The other is Dayton Street, where several trolleybuses and bus lines pass by. Chinatown Station, which is expected to open in 2008, is also located on the ground floor of Dayton Street, and it will also become an important railway station serving San Francisco Chinatown.

2. Traditional festivals

Chinatown still retains the tradition of celebrating the China Lunar New Year. At this time of the year, a Cantonese opera stage is set up in Chinatown, and shops begin to sell all kinds of new year's goods, such as Fu Zi and Spring Festival couplets. It's barbecue shops, grocery stores and neon lights on the street. Neighbors talked loudly about their simplicity, warmth and simplicity. If you happen to be in San Francisco for the New Year, you might as well come to Chinatown to experience it. Maybe you will have a feeling of returning to your hometown in a trance.
