SF: China Town

China Town in San Francisco is biggest china town outside of Asian, that's the reason why you can see a lot chinese at San Francisco, as well, that is a lot of direct flight from East Asia to San Francisco....

Enterence to China Town, is a long distance along Grant Avenue...

Building with both western and chinese culture...

Chinese Pagoda... so called "trademark"...

Lantern...

Culture is borderless...

Along Grant Ave...

and i turn back for another shot...

Citibank of China town really make me feel like been to China...

What i do at China town?
1. Buying souvenir: a lot of item for tourist to buy with good deal, either on China Town or San Francisco, or Pier 39....
2. Buy gin seng: I don't know where exactly, but gin seng of USA is good... and should be cheaper to buy here... i always goto the one opposite hospital at 850, Jackson Street...
3. Chinese Food: Egg tart from Golden Gate Bakery is nice, but please expect for queuing... I tried oriental set lunch with 3 main course for 4 person, not too bad if 3 or 4 of you look for meal...

Yatch, fruit stall, candy shop, chocolate shop, live circus show, live band, and sea lions... you can see all these from Pier 39... I remember that performer not to record his show and put into youtube, but i hope he don't mind for me to blog him... Ohya... can you see Alcatraz is behind me? A lot movie like The Rock and X-men was shooting here....

Fisherman Whalf is right behind Pier 39, a lot seafood restaurant, street show, souvenir shop and parking lot here... Bear with this famous tourism spot.... I had a clam chowder with bread from pedestral stall, not really nice, but if you want to try, don't get bread, cause i can not finish that bread...

Few miles south of Pier 39 is another nice spot to go, not that much tourism but there is a lot nice landmark though...

Pier 39 is wooden mostly, but this pier is concrete... looks grand... here is also Port of San Francisco, for ferry from different place, including Sausalito....

Gandhi is here... Walking for freedom... From Pier 3, you can have a nice view to Bay Bridge and Downtown San Francisco....
