    Getting TO/AROUND: Take a ride on San Francisco's cable cars! Cable cars are famous and unique to San Francisco. A visit to this area is never complete without taking a cable car ride. And also, you get the chance to hang from the side of the car! I recommend taking the Powell and Hyde Street Line, because these cars climb and descend very steep hills. You can ride the cable car from the waterfront area to Chinatown using this line. Tickets are $3 per person per ride; you can pay the fare on the car. The line to ride the cable car can be very long, so do anticipate on waiting.

     Yan, your description of Chinatown in SF is very accurate! As a working person in SF, I love going to Chinatown at lunch time. The Chinese restaurants there are the best.
