City Guide Tour of San Francisco's Chinatown

In January 2007, Teen'Zine embarked on a walking tour of the historic San Francisco Chinatown. Armed with notebooks and cameras in hand, the group walked from the Chinatown Library, down Washington Street, to Portsmouth Square to meet our tour guide, Ernie Ng from City Guides. Although many of the teens had grown up in Chinatown, or visited the Chinatown area frequently, there was much to learn about the history behind the monuments and buildings that we walk by every day.
