Activity itinerary

660 California St

  • 30m
Built in 1854 by Chinese labourers using granite quarried in China and bricks from New England, this is the oldest cathedral in California. It miraculously survived the 1906 earthquake and fire, and its famous clock tower still bears the inscription: "Son, observe the time and fly from evil."

Grant Avenue

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Sing Chong & Sing Fat Buildings

733 Kearny St

  • 30m
Known as the "Living Room of Chinatown," this bustling concrete plaza is where the city of San Francisco was originally born. Travellers will see locals gathered by the dozens playing intense games of Mahjong and Chinese chess. It’s also home to historic markers, including the spot where gold was first announced in California in 1848.
