Largest Chinatown on West Coast
San Francisco's Chinatown is one of North America's oldest and largest — it's reportedly the largest in the nation (New York City's Chinatown runs a close second). You can't miss the entrance to Chinatown — just look for the green Pagoda Gates on Grant Street.

Visit the famous Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how fortune cookies are made. Enjoy Tea Tastings at Chinatown tea shops and learn all about the wonders of tea — this is really fun!

Take a Chinatown Walking Tour and see the cultural side of San Francisco — where the old world meets the new. Chinatown's streets and alleyways are jam-packed with little shops and stalls, specialty stores, food markets, herb shops, fish markets, antique stores, bakeries, Dim Sum parlors and exotic Chinese restaurants.

One of the most highly-visited Chinatowns in North America, San Francisco's Chinatown is popular with tourists and locals alike. You can easily spend hours walking along Grant Street and its narrow side streets — shopping, eating and people-watching!

Hundreds of thousands of people flock to Chinatown to celebrate the Lunar New Year during San Francisco's annual Chinese New Year Festival and Parade. Each year, the Chinese New Year Flower Market Fair takes place the weekend before the Lunar New Year holiday.
