Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Mød ved Old St. Mary's Cathedral, 660 California St., for at begynde din vandretur til Chinatowns mest populære seværdigheder og skjulte steder. Din guide vil fremhæve Chinatowns historie og kultur og forklare, hvordan den bemærkelsesværdige ægthed af gammel kinesisk kultur er blevet bevaret og fejret i en must-besøg San Francisco-attraktion.
Chinatowns udendørs opholdsstue og fødestedet for San Franciscos første amerikanske flag, første offentlige skole og første svævebane.
Gå en tur blandt de friskeste og mest eksotiske fødevarer i Bay-området på Stockton Street Food Markets.
Vi vil prøve disse "kloge krakkere" og se hvordan det er gjort.
I denne eksotiske tørrede butik kan du se ginseng, fuglereder, gekko firben, fiskeblærer, søagurker, abalone og mere og høre om, hvad disse fødevarer kan gøre for dig.
Beundre arkitektoniske detaljer; høre om historien om hemmelige institutioner på Waverly Place; og hvis tiden tillader det, kan du besøge et afsondret buddhistisk tempel.
Papirhandel? Forhandler af festartikler? Kom med os for at finde ud af præcis, hvad denne butik sælger og hvorfor.
Se bygningen på Østvestbredden for et eksempel på arkitektur i pagodestil, der er almindelig i Asien. Men hvad var her før banken? Ved dette stop vil du forstå kompleksiteten af det kinesiske sprog, både talt og skrevet.

It was fantastic! We could ask Linda anything, laughed a lot, and learned a lot! We can really recommend this tour!
For those of you who understand German - hope it's a positive review! I love that my guests post reviews in their own language. All I can respond with is: Thank you Barbara and Milan!
Ryan was a knowledgeable guide! The experience was wonderful. The food and tea were very good. I highly recommend.
Linda Li was really wonderful--it was a very bespoke tour, and she shared all her knowledge about culture and history of Chinatown. We really appreciate her thoughtfulness and insights, and for tailoring the tour to our group's interests!
Hi Scarlett: I was fortunate to take you and your family to places of interest. Stopping at the tea shop was the highlight of our visit because we had the hostess Corinna all to ourselves! Thank you for the 5 star review.
Linda provided us with a fun, interesting, and very informative tour!
Hi Karend: Love those adjectives! Thank you for the 5 star review.
Super experience. Linda was so helpful with our scheduling. Alan provided a great tour with so much information and insights on Chinatown and the history of Chinese-Americans. Thank you so much. It was just the experience we were hoping for.
Hi prjense: Our team of Alan and myself just love this review. We are thrilled to have offered a memorable experience for your family!
We had a great tour with Lei Huang through SF‘s Chinatown. It was way more than just pointing out the landmarks, Lei gave us an insider‘s look into the real Chinatown - the history, architecture, culture, social organizations, power balances, and of course the delicious food! I’ve done some research on the Chinese American experience in California, and Lei‘s insights helped fill in the gaps and gave me new questions to explore. Fantastic experience!
Hi Stepha: All that in 2 hours? What a terrific tour! Lei is an exceptional tour guide, and you were fortunate to share your knowledge with each other. It's also wonderful to read that his tour inspired you to learn more. Thank you for the 5 star review of Lei Huang.
I lived in the Bay Area many years ago. I was worried about visiting because what if things were not as fun or nice as then. I am very pleased that it was just as I remembered ( a tad busier) I love China town. It has always been a go to spot for me . It was clean. People were friendly and helpful.
Hi NevaS1: I feel the same way! Although I am in Chinatown almost every day giving tours, I see places that are no longer there (sad) but new stores that are replacing these locations with new products and staff that are bilingual and appreciative of continual commerce. Thank you for this 5 star review.
An absolute must for families. We had four generations with us — kids aged 8 and 10 and grandparents in their 70s — and Linda Lee managed every single one of them beautifully. Born and raised in Chinatown, with over 40 years leading this tour, Linda brings history, humor, and genuine heart to every stop. The herbal pharmacy, fortune cookie factory, Buddhist temple, Stockton Street markets, and private family clubs all meant nothing to us before she explained them. She turned streets we’d walked down a dozen times into places we finally understood. Her stories of growing up in this community, surviving the 1906 earthquake’s legacy, and rebuilding with pride are unforgettable. She remembered all our names. She made our 8-year-old laugh and our 70-year-old grandparents feel like they were getting the insider tour of a lifetime — because they were. Best experience of our San Francisco trip, full stop. Book early — it sells out constantly.
Dear TheLoaf: This review is making me look like the Cheshire Cat. Upon meeting your family, I wanted your children to be engaged with the stories and sights of what Chinatown had to offer beyond its touristy look, and I knew I had to work hard when your son did not believe I was Bruce Lee’s wife after viewing his mural at the start of the tour. Perhaps asking your kids to show off their healthy looking tongues in the herbal pharmacy convinced them that Chinatown had stores showcasing ancient remedies worth thinking about more than the Labubu dolls and Pokemon cards beckoning from store windows. Thank you for this fantastic review. What is thrilling to read is that your family’s curiosity about Chinese culture and history was memorable, and a jumping board to learn more about a civilization that dates back thousands of years. I wish I could compose this thank you reply as articulately penned as your review. Suffice to say that a 5 star is an owner’s dream rating, and this eloquently composed note of your family’s tour experience makes my heart sing. Thank you, Linda Lee
Wow! Linda is amazing! Getting a tour of Chinatown from a Chinatown native was so valuable. She knew such cool old stories and facts about the people of Chinatown. My sisters, Mom and I did a Saturday morning tour and it was the highlight of our vacation. Thank you, Linda! You were wonderful!
Hi Tess_G, Janice,Tara, and Robyn: The four of you were so interested in Chinatown and delightful that I kinda wanted to be a distant family member. I'm glad you went home with memorable stories of Chinatown's history and culture. Don't forget to save your Colorado and Nevada tangerine peels to fight off impending colds!
The tour was fun and informative, the kids enjoyed it too. We learned a lot about Chinese immigration to the city as well as a lot about their beliefs and culture.
Hi Jennifer and Kelly: I'm thrilled that you ended the year with a memorable tour and that your kids learned a little bit more about Chinese culture. Thank you for the 5 star review and Happy New Year!
