What to do and see in Chinatown, California (CA): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

October 15, 2021 Milan Banda

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

There is a particular energy and spirit you feel in this place. It is also right next to City Lights Bookstore which is one of my favorite bookstores in the world.

Chinatown Alleys

Reviewed By dunadan - Lynnwood, United States

The alleys in Chinatown are so well-known that there are bronzed relief maps detailing all of them embedded in the ground throughout the district. There are some great finds to be had in some of the alleys (fortune cookies, anyone?) and lots of other hidden gems awaiting your discovery. If you are in the area, whether shopping for cheap souvenirs, eating some great food, or taking a tour, be sure to turn that corner down a narrow lane and see where it leads to--it's an adventure!
