The Chinatown centered on Grant Avenue and Stockton Street in San Francisco, California, (Chinese: ćäșșèĄ; pinyin: tĂĄngrĂ©njiÄ; Jyutping: tong4 jan4 gaai1) is the oldest Chinatown in North America and the largest Chinese enclave outside Asia. It is also the oldest and largest of the four notable Chinese enclaves within San Francisco.[4][5][6] Since its establishment in 1848,[7] it has been highly important and influential in the history and culture of ethnic Chinese immigrants in North America. Chinatown is an enclave that continues to retain its own customs, languages, places of worship, social clubs, and identity. There are two hospitals, several parks and squares, numerous churches, a post office, and other infrastructure. Recent immigrants, many of whom are elderly, opt to live in Chinatown because of the availability of affordable housing and their familiarity with the culture.[8] San Francisco's Chinatown is also renowned as a major tourist attraction, drawing more visitors annually than the Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco's Chinatown was the port of entry for early Chinese immigrants from the west side of the Pearl River Delta, speaking mainly Hoisanese[21] and Zhongshanese,[22] in the Guangdong province of southern China from the 1850s to the 1900s.[23] On August 28, 1850, at Portsmouth Square,[24]:9 San Francisco's first mayor, John Geary, officially welcomed 300 "China Boys" to San Francisco.[25]:34â38 By 1854, the Alta California, a local newspaper which had previously taken a supportive stance on Chinese immigrants in San Francisco, began attacking them, writing after a recent influx that "if the city continues to fill up with these people, it will be ere long become necessary to make them subject of special legislation" You can check the collector stores, flea markets & antique shops, if similar ones are ever available...
