Dennis HsuJanuary 15, 2018From "Dragon's Gate," walk north on Grant up to Broadway through the heart of Chinatown. Check out Good Mong Kok for dim sum take-out, Chong Qing for delicious noodles, or the famous R&G LoungeUpvoted Feb 12
Ginette LuMarch 30, 2018Definitely allocate some time here to stroll around and take some candid shots of the gate. The location offers an abundant amount of goodies from Asia, and souvenirs. Tip: bring your bargaining game!Upvoted 3 weeks ago- Victoria KJanuary 27, 2013Please do be careful, when you're taking photos at the gate. Every day, I see/hear a near miss between a car and a tourist standing out in the street, trying to get the best shooting angle.
Al B.January 4, 2015The boundary from Chinatown and union square. Be prepared for hordes of tourists.
Vicky OApril 2, 2018One of the cooler chinatowns I’ve been to. Lots of Instagram worthy graffiti walls!

Bre RozApril 14, 2015This is probably a good place to grab tiny souvenirs. Prices are lower the further you go down the street.
Fi VeiNovember 15, 2015The gate to the largest Chinatown in the world, you really need to visit the whole neighborhood.- Jared ZimmermanNovember 6, 2012Biggest chinese population outside of china, really good food, photo-ops, and fortune cookies.
- RossMay 4, 2017Once you are checked in here turn around and wave at the folks of Foursquare HQ SF @ 425 Bush
EY Customer HuntOctober 12, 2012On a road that is the last letters of a sudden attack, look between the stars of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and the original "A Star is Born" and find a plaque in honor of Dennis Sullivan
Kendal CockrelAugust 16, 2018Take a photo then keep it moving. This intersection gets busy and cars do pass through the gate.
Cory O'BrienJanuary 20, 2012Welcome to Chinatown. Spend some time walking around here, and you'll soon forget what country you're in.
Steven MansillaDecember 9, 2015Perfect place to do shopping cheaper things like disposable camera, manga, toys and copy things.
Well sweeties. It is THE entrance to Chinatown. Nuff said.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 26, 2015Avoid the back street! A bit smelly and dirty. But the rest is nice to photograph
Wilson Favre-DelerueJuly 24, 2016Cheesy tourist landmark and gateway to crappy Chinatown tourist shops.
