Chinatown: Your Guide to Cannabis in San Francisco
Exploring Chinatown
Chinatown offers visitors and residents numerous attractions worth exploring:
- Dragon Gate, the ornate entrance marking the start of Grant Avenue
- Portsmouth Square, the ‘Heart of Chinatown’ and historic gathering place
- Tin How Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in the United States
- The Chinese Historical Society of America museum
- Stockton Street markets offering fresh produce, seafood, and specialty goods
Chinatown Culture & Community
Chinatown preserves centuries of Chinese-American heritage while remaining a vibrant, living community. Beyond the tourist attractions, residents maintain traditional practices, from morning tai chi in Portsmouth Square to afternoon mahjong games in community centers. The neighborhood celebrates Chinese New Year with the famous parade featuring a 288-foot golden dragon.
Dining in Chinatown
Authentic Cantonese cuisine defines Chinatown’s culinary scene. Dim sum restaurants like City View and Great Eastern serve traditional small plates, while establishments like R&G Lounge offer Cantonese seafood specialties. Don’t miss the bakeries serving egg tarts, pineapple buns, and other traditional treats along Stockton Street.
