TRAVEL LOCATIONS

Exploring San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the USA’s most exciting cities. Millions of tourists visit every year and they don’t go home without visiting Chinatown – a popular tourist attraction. San Francisco has got a large Chinese-American population and has got the largest Chinatown outside Asia. Chinatown became a popular tourist attraction over 150 years ago. This special area offers something for people of all ages and there’s never a dull moment. The best place to start your tour of Chinatown is at its Dragon Gate. This extraordinary gate with its dragons and guard dog statues was a gift from the People’s Republic of China to San Francisco in 1969. Stop to take a photo and then walk down Grant Avenue, the main street. It’s also the oldest street in San Francisco and it’s got many exotic buildings. Even the street lamps look like pagodas with dragons’ tails. The shops are full of unique things, and restaurants serve delicious Chinese food. As you go deeper into Chinatown, the area becomes busier with fruit, vegetable, meat and fish markets. The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory promises a great experience. Visitors taste their delicious biscuits and learn about their future. This amazing factory makes 20,000 biscuits every day. Believe it or not, only two women work there and they make each biscuit by hand! The best time to visit Chinatown is in February for the Chinese New Year celebrations. For two weeks, this part of San Francisco is really lively. There are music events, flower and street fairs and the Miss Chinatown USA competition.
