In the early days, many people in San Francisco came from China. Some worked as labors in the gold fields, and others on railroads. These were poor people when they first came to America. They worked very hard to save money.
When the Chinese could afford to, they built houses much like their homes in China. Some opened stores to sell products from China to other Chinese. Others opened restaurants to serve Chinese foods. These people enjoyed the things they were used to having in their homeland.
Today, Grand Avenue is the main street to the very large Chinese-American community called Chinatown. Children who live in this area go to the San Francisco City School. Some also go to Chinese language schools to learn how to read and write Chinese.
People from different places enjoy visiting Chinatown. They may buy beautiful carvings or silks in the Chinese shops. They like to eat the different foods served in the Chinese restaurants.
Visitors to Chinatown also enjoy hearing the sounds of China. The music seems strange because it sounds so different from American music.
A favorite time to visit Chinatown is during the Chinese New Year, usually in February. A big procession to celebrate the New Year is led by a huge dragon made from paper and silk.
1. Long ago, many poor Chinese went to San Francisco of the US in order to __________.
