San Francisco’s Chinatown — North America’s first and largest — is located next to North Beach and adjacent to the Financial District. With its pagoda-style architecture, ornate lampposts, exotic menus and other distinctive elements, a stop here can feel more like a trip abroad than a neighborhood stroll. How To Get Here An easy walk from Nob Hill, the Financial District or North Beach; or make your way through the neighborhood on the 30 or 45 Muni bus. What To See & Do Stroll past markets heaped with vegetables, ducks, herbs and other goods to get a tangy taste of China without leaving California. Learn about the community’s history at the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum on Clay St. Near Portsmouth Square, visit the Chinese Culture Center, which is free. See the latest exhibition in their Visual Art Center or sign up for one of their neighborhood walking tours. Enjoy a mix of local history and flavors with Wok Wiz Tours, or get an insider view of daily life and historic landmarks from All About Chinatown Tours. Where To Eat Restaurants are everywhere, including Cantonese delicacies at R&G Lounge and the Far East Café, or China Live, a multi-story Chinese food emporium that draws apt comparisons to Eataly in New York City.
