Portsmouth Square, San Francisco

This is the largest area of open space in Chinatown, bordered by Kearny St, Washington St, Clay St, and Walter Lum Place.

This is the largest area of open space in Chinatown, bordered by Kearny St, Washington St, Clay St, and Walter Lum Place. It is known as the 'Heart of Chinatown' because the neighborhood began along one of its sides and extended from there to become what is known as Chinatown today. The square bristles with activity, and here you find local residents playing cards or Chinese chess, and practicing Tai Chi. The square contains several memorials, statues, and plaques ? including a bronze replica of the Goddess of Democracy statue and a marker commemorating Robert Louis Stevenson.
