Chinatown

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOUR:


  • Learn the entire history of San Francisco’s Chinatown - the past, present and future. A comprehensive understanding of a very complex neighborhood
  • Experience Waverly Place, the “Street of Painted Balconies” with its many upstairs temples and nationalist flags.
  • Visit the interior of the First Roman Catholic church on the West Coast - a 1854 Cathedral!
  • Step into a real Fortune Cookie factory - watch how the cookies are artfully shaped by adept hands, before they cool and harden
  • See how Chinese medicine works by visiting one of the most fascinating herbal shops in the neighborhood
  • Discover the oldest Chinese Temple in the United States! (You will have to climb three flights of stairs to see it but I promise it will be worth the hike!)
