Pass By: Dragon's Gate, Bush St What3words: ///also.secret.ever, San Francisco, CA 94108
Meet your guide and small group, limited to 12 participants, at Chinatown Gate. You'll venture on foot through two vibrant neighborhoods and discover tucked-away spots down unassuming alleys.

Immerse yourself in the cultural and aesthetic contrasts between one of the largest and oldest Chinese communities outside of Asia and the European charm of North Beach, birthplace of the Beat Generation.
Follow your guide through the bustling streets and learn about the history of this Chinese community during San Francisco's Gold Rush, as well as America's railway-building boom.

From here, proceed to Waverly Place and have your fortune read at the oldest Chinese temple in the US. Then weave your way between performing street artists to taste fortune cookies hot off the press, followed by an in-depth tea tasting session where you will learn about the different types and flavors of traditional Chinese tea.

We loved this tour! We had already walked around Chinatown on our own but missed so much . Our guide took us for Moon Cakes in an traditional bakery, and tea tastings in a Chinese tea shop! We had our fortunes read in a temple and designed our our fortunes for hand made fortune cookies! We then crossed over into the North Beach area. We saw street art, book stores, Italian restaurants and music venues. We saw art by Banksy! A great tour!
