the California gold rush city
San Francisco in California USA is one of the most comfortable city for living in the States, with its beautiful mix of architecture styles, the up and down rolling hills, the famous cable car driven manually, the Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, etc.

Biggest Chinatown in USA

Best Chinatown inspired experience in the US! You can find a lot of places to buy a souvenir, eat Chinese food or markets where you can find groceries in an affordable price. It is so beautiful decorated with symbols and accents from Chinese culture and so many different market and food options. It was amazing.

Such a wonderful trip and beautiful city. San Francisco was in my wildest dreams, never thought that I would have the opportunity to walk in their beautiful streets and hills. It was so excited and beautiful, seen all those places that I have seen in the movies. Definitely it’s a city that needs a lot of time to really see, explore and appreciate. #mytripvlog #fallingforfall #tripblazers

One of the oldest Chinatown on foot
This is one of the oldest and most established Chinatown in the United States. It is very easy to explore by foot, bring your walking shoes, as there are steep hills along the way. You can start from the Financial District and walk around the Chinatown, discovering the interesting wall murals. If you are craving for some Dim Sum, can drop by those dim sum joints or traditional eateries to have a break before continuing the walk.
There are ornate temples including the landmark Tien How, as well as the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum.
The end of the walking tour can be at the iconic Dragon’s Gate.

Chinatown in downtown San Francisco is the largest Chinese gathering area in the west. It houses more than 80,000 Chinese and overseas Chinese, where the shops are marked in Chinese. Pearl milk tea, mahjong chess, all kinds of life groceries are sold, the ear is Cantonese mixed with Mandarin, and they do not feel that they are in the United States.
is the Chinese New Year of the Lunar New Year, so there is a Cantonese opera on the Chinese street, and there are also various kinds of characters for selling the New Year. We will be here for the New Year. Many times, I feel that I have arrived in Hong Kong. The street is a roasting shop, a grocery store and a layer of neon. The neighborhood is full of family life.

Picturesque… SAN FRANCISCO 🇺🇸
San Francisco is a lovely and cozy city to visit.
Recommended places to visit :
📌fisherman wharf / pier 39
It’s a scenic and relaxing along fisherman wharf. There are many piers along the way but pier 39 is my favourite. There are restaurants around the area as well.
📌Chinatown and its Shanghai theme bars
Lively town , alot of shops selling souvenirs like magnets at decent prices to choose from.
📌Lombard street - this is the famous crooked street, bring a comfy shoes if you are walking around the area as it’s steep
📌Golden Gate Bridge - beautiful and magnificent bridge as seen in pictures. In real life, it’s even better 🩷
food to try:
In n out burger
Chowder soup

Beautiful Chinatown in San Francisco

📍Chinatown, San Francisco
Of course we had to visit Chinatown while travelling to San Francisco for a short trip. It is one of the largest Chinatown outside Asia, with plenty of dangling red lanterns on the streets, colourful shops with some Chinese words, dragon gates. Such a cool and unique neighbourhood to walk around and hang out. There are plenty of shops to stop by and have a look for such stores that sell dimsum, steamed buns, jewellery stones, touristy souvenirs shop and more! We spent around 3 hours here just hanging around and had some Chinese cuisine for lunch. Beautiful neighbourhood that everyone should visit while travelling to San Francisco!

San Francisco’s Finest: My Top 5 Travel Picks
I love San Francisco! I’ve visited this unique city twice and I can’t wait to go back a third time!
Here are some of my favorite things to do in the city:
1️⃣ The Painted Ladies - This icon row of colorful houses sits against the stunning backdrop of the city. After snapping the ladies, take a walk through the surrounding neighborhood as the architecture is beautiful!
2️⃣San Francisco Tram - The tram network in the city is extensive and there are many photo opportunities throughout the city to snap the tram in action!
3️⃣The Golden Gate Bridge - Whether you walk or cycle, crossing The Golden Gate Bridge is a must! You’ll find excellent viewpoints on both sides!
4️⃣Little Italy - A beautiful area that really comes to life at dusk. There are a plethora of Italian restaurants and cafes for you to feast in! If you’re after a good sandwich check out “Molinari Delicatessen”
5️⃣Chinatown - One of the best Chinatowns I have been to! There’s lots of Chinese culture to explore and hills cut through the area so you can get some great pictures of the city with the Bay Bridge in the distance!
This is just a slice of what San Francisco has to offer and I could truly spend weeks in this city and not feel bored!
