China Town
-
China Town is another world. You cross the street and suddenly Chinese characters on street signs, men playing mah jong in the park, corner acupuncturists, and grocery stores selling things you can't identify.
Some of this is for tourists' benefit, but most of it isn't. Hold tight to your children's hands, and immerse yourself here.
Taste tea. Shop for souvenirs. Try on hats. Buy a box of pop pop snappers and wow your kids by setting off tiny explosions at their feet.
Chinatown is fun and unpredictable. You'll often see a Lion Dance parade right down the middle of Grant Street, or a wedding party.
If your kids have an adventurous palate, stop into one of the many restaurants for a dim sum lunch.
