WELCOME TO CHINATOWN!
The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America, and also the oldest. It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge. The climate is mild all year round, meaning it is always a good time to visit.
欢迎来到唐人街!
旧金山的唐人街在全美规模最大、历史最为悠久,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。这里一年四季气候温和,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 centre 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.
历史上,在修筑铁路和淘金热时期,来自中国的移民定居于此。这里原本是中国移民的居住地,后来变成一个中国文化中心。如今唐人街的绝大多数居民依旧是华人,他们中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。
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. Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights, smells, and sounds of China. Portsmouth Square is also a key site, being the centre 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 practising tai chi.
唐人街的大部分建筑毁于1906年的大地震,但是市政府和居民将它重建,并且特地融人诸多中国建筑元素。传统上,游客从具有传奇色彩的龙门走入唐人街,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。游客亦可花上数小时,一探此地的中国味道与美景声色。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·史蒂文森曾长居于此进行创作。如今,花园角广场已经成为游客的一个好去处,可以欣赏现实生活里的中国传统文化,如中国象棋和打太极拳。

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.
唐人街的商店出售各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服。此外,各种各样的中草药也随处可见,还有中国茶叶商店,游客可以品尝和购买各种中国茶叶。
然而,很多游客和旧金山人最钟爱的或许是唐人街的美食。这里有着来自中国各地的传统菜肴,各种口味,应有尽有。
Chinatowns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA. They allow visitors (who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.)
唐人街是美国多元文化的一个重要组成部分,未曾踏足中国的游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化。
Thank You!
