Submitted by the Event Organizer

Tour presented by Love to Explore with local guide, Dan Love, who is very knowledgeable in world history and also a foodie adventurer to take you to explore through the streets and alleys of Chinatown and explain the fascinating culture and history and social movements that shaped this community.

This time they are going to combine the tour with The Chinese New Year Market Fair. The Chinese New Year Street Fair is held on the weekend after Chinese New Year Day. It’s a place to come to purchase fresh flowers, fruits, candies and brand new supplies for the home to begin the new lunar year. Tons of people! You will find over 120 booths and concessions making this a shopper’s paradise. As well as you’ll visit sights with history dating back to the days of the early settlers, see unique views of the city, try delicious Chinese treats, and be immersed in a culture so intertwined in San Francisco’s Chinatown history that you just can’t miss it.

The tour is an easy and efficient way of getting around and seeing a lot without worry about getting lost, and you don’t have to spend a lot of time reading about the history of every place beforehand. The tours usually take two hour or two and half, then you can head out on your own to poke around in the alleys, do a tea tasting, look around in the shops, have a leisurely lunch, and watch Chinese New Year Parade. Moreover, make new friends with other visitors or locals, and most of all, have fun.
