San Francisco’s Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. The streets are shoulder-to-shoulder with people on their produce run. Skinned ducks hang in the store windows along with piles of ginger and tanks of live fish. In Portsmouth Square, “Chinatown’s living room,” the older generation plays chess, cards, and mahjong. It is San Francisco’s city within the city.

This audio narrated walking tour comes with a detailed tour route map and powerful navigation features to guide you from one tour sight to the next. Tour sights included in this application are:

* Chinatown Gate
* Old St. Mary’s Cathedral
