We didn’t want to buy any of the cheaper knock-offs and we are on a budget.
Chinatown is in San Francisco. The area has nearly the largest concentration of Chinese people, eating establishments and shops selling wares outside of China. The first Chinese immigrants moved into San Francisco in the mid 1850s. A decade later, they opened the first Chinese only school in San Francisco. Around 1720, California instituted a lot of laws to protect Chinese and Japanese settlers in the country. At the start of the twentieth century, they opened the first Chinese hospital to support the people in the community. There are a large number of historical sites to visit in Chinatown. The restaurants offer some of the best traditional Chinese cuisine anywhere. Probably my favorite reason to visit San Francisco is the pork dumplings and the sweet and sour chicken Chinatown. There is nowhere else in CA or even the whole country that sells pork dumplings and sweet and sour chicken that taste as good as in Chinatown. Since I live a two hour drive from San Francisco. I make a special trip whenever I am in the mood for good food. Last weekend, I was feeling bored. I picked up my mother and we drove all the way to the bay on Friday. We wandered Chinatown and ate food from different vendors. There was so much that we wanted to see and do, that my mom and I found for two nights. The hotel was right across the street from a row of cute little shops. After we checked into our room, we walked around for several hours. The prices in that location are really high. The shops offer some really unique items. We didn’t want to buy any of the cheaper knock-offs and we are on a budget. So we took our time and enjoyed just browsing. My mom found a great handbag and I ended up buying a pair of shoes. We really enjoyed our trip.
