San Francisco's Chinatown is arguably the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. In the United States, except for New York's Chinatown, other Chinese gathering places always feel so little flavor.
While Chinatown is surrounded by the spectacular Union Square and the Western Financial Center, this does not affect the Chinese flavor of Chinatown. Everywhere you look, there are eaves, buildings and plaques in Chinese, making you feel like you're in a different country.
1, the main street
There are two main streets in Chinatown: one is Dusan Street, along which you can see the "China Gate" pagoda on Bush Street, the statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in St. Mary's Square, and the Veterans War Memorial. The other is Dayton Street, which is served by several trolley and bus routes. The Chinatown Station of the San Francisco Light Rail Transit T-Line Extension, which is expected to open in the year, is also located underneath Dayton Street, and it will also be an important train station serving San Francisco's Chinatown.
2. Traditional Festivals
Chinatown still maintains the tradition of celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year. At this time of year, a Cantonese opera stage is set up in Chinatown, and stores begin selling various New Year's items, such as Fuzhi and Chunlian. It's the barbecue restaurants down the street, the grocery stores, the layers of neon lights. Neighbors talk loudly about their simplicity, warmth and simplicity. If you happen to be in San Francisco for New Year's Eve, come to Chinatown for a taste. Maybe you'll feel like you're in a trance back in your hometown.
