Exploring Chinatown San Francisco [My Experience]

San Francisco‘s Chinatown neighbourhood is one of the oldest Chinatowns in America and is a testament to the rich, cultural contributions of Chinese immigrants to the city. It’s where you will find signs of the bygone times blended with modern flair.

I would recommend a visit to the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum which chronicles the complex history of Chinese people in America, from the early days of the China trade to the history of Chinese immigration and the life of Chinese Americans.

Happy exploring!
