Grant Avenue, San Francisco

Heart of Chinatown

San Francisco is home to the oldest Chinatown in North America and the largest Chinese community outside Asia. It is a "city within a city" with hospitals, banks, shops, and restaurants. It is also a major tourist site for visitors to the Bay Area. The area is commemorated in the song "Grant Avenue" from Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical, Flower Drum Song.
