General introduction to San Francisco Chinatown
旧金山的唐人街在美国是规模最大、历史也最悠久的。这里是一个非常受欢迎的旅游景点，每年接待的游客甚至比金门大桥还多。这里全年气候温和，这意味着任何时候都适宜来游览。
Historically, Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period. What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a center for Chinese culture. The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese, many of whom do not speak English fluently. This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.

Language:
历史上，在修筑铁路和淘金热时期，来自中国的移民就定居于此。这里原本是中国移民的居住地，后来变成了中国文化的中心。唐人街的绝大多数居民依旧是华人，他们很多人英语说得并不流利。这能让游客体验到正宗的中国味。

Detailed information of San Francisco Chinatown
Most of Chinatown was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the city and residents rebuilt it, taking care to include lots of Chinese architecture. Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton, to name but a few.
Tourist attractions
唐人街的大部分建筑毁于1906年的大地震，但是这座城市和居民重建了它，并且特地融入了诸多中国建筑(元素)。传统上，游客从具有传奇色彩的龙门进入唐人街，龙门的建筑材料是由中国捐赠的。其他的著名景点还有天后古庙、广东银行等，不胜枚举。

Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights, smells, and sounds of China. Portsmouth Square is also a key site, being the center of Chinatown. It has a long and famous history, with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there. These days, the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life, such as games of Chinese chess, and people practicing tai chi.
Tourist attractions
游客亦可花上数小时，一探此地有趣的中国景致、味道与声音。作为唐人街的中心，花园角广场也是一个重要景点。广场历史悠久，声名远扬，作家罗伯特·路易斯·斯蒂文森曾长居于此进行创作。如今，该广场已经成为一个在现实生活中欣赏中国传统文化的好地方，比如下中国象棋和人们练习太极拳。
The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing. All kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found, too, and there are Chinese tea stores, where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea.
But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food. There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste, with traditional dishes from all over China.

The unique dialects in Beihai is Cantonese dialect ,which is different from mandarin, making it very difficult to understand. There are many famous tourist attractions in Beihai, such as the Silver Beach, the Century Street and the Weizhou Island,to name but a few. If you come to Beihai, you definitely can’t miss the delicious local food, especially the local seafood. The beautiful scenery and delicious local food in Beihai always make me fascinated.
