Chinese American History Trails

sf google map edited

Once one starts to look for Chinese American historical sites (at least in California and elsewhere in the west), one is amazed at how many places were witness to history. In many places thematically linked walking routes or travel itineraries can be devised.

A stroll along the waterfront from China Basin along the embarcadero is one good example. This link is to a Google map that plots out a walking tour along the San Francisco waterfront. Here’s the route for the San Francisco Maritime Route.

Route CA #1 Chinese American History on the San Francisco Waterfront


Click on the link to reveal the full map with historical annotations explaining the history associated with each stop on the route.
I think many will find it a real walk of discovery. Walk this itinerary and post some video or pics!
