From "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 Lounge

Very cool entrance to Chinatown!

Ginette Lu

Definitely 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!

Please 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.

The boundary from Chinatown and union square. Be prepared for hordes of tourists .

On 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

The only authentic Chinatown gate in the country .

Take a photo then keep it moving. This intersection gets busy and cars do pass through the gate.

This is probably a good place to grab tiny souvenirs. Prices are lower the further you go down the street.

Perfect place to do shopping cheaper things like disposable camera , manga , toys and copy things.
