Photos of Chinatown

In San Francisco's Chinatown, the cornice paintings, Qionglou Yuyu, and Chinese plaques that can be seen everywhere make people feel completely unfamiliar in a foreign country. 1. Main Streets There are two main streets in Chinatown: one is Duban Street and the other is City Dayton Street. Several trolleybus and bus routes pass through this street. The Chinatown Station, an extension of the T-Line of the San Francisco Light Rail Transit, which is expected to be opened in 2019, is also located under Dayton Street, which will also become an important rail station serving San Francisco’s Chinatown. 2. Traditional festivals Chinatown still retains the tradition of celebrating Chinese New Year. At this time of the year, Cantonese opera stages are set up in Chinatown, and shops have begun to sell all kinds of New Year goods, such as blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets. There are roast meat shops, grocery stores and layers of neon on the street. If you happen to be in San Francisco during the new year, you might as well come to Chinatown to experience it, maybe you will feel like you are back home.
