chinatown
The largest Chinatown outside of Asia, this densely populated neighborhood is known for its unique architecture, colorful tourist shops, affordable markets and authentic eateries. Historically speaking, Portsmouth Square was the heart of San Francisco when Chinese merchants arrived during the Gold Rush. Today, Portsmouth Square is an active public space for outdoor activities and relaxing, as is St. Mary’s Park. For everyday goods and shopping, residents here frequent the many open-air produce stores, bakeries, and meat and seafood shops.
