San Francisco’s Chinatown boasts the largest Chinese population in the western hemisphere, and the city’s culinary palette has been enriched by authentic Chinese cuisine for over 100 years. One of the best places to taste a blend of modern techniques and traditional Chinese recipes is at China Live. The menu at this chic marketplace-style eatery changes daily based on the freshest ingredients available. You can never go wrong with the dumplings—whether you like soupy Xiao Long Bao or crispy fried Sheng Jian Bao, these are some of the best in town. If you’re dining in, score a seat facing one of the four different kitchens to see chefs baking, frying, and glazing your dishes. Or head upstairs to Cold Drinks, a hidden bar that serves up some of San Francisco’s best cocktails.

Sandy cliffs drop 200 feet to a beautiful beach at the southernmost edge of San Francisco. This is the wildest of the San Francisco beaches and the views are gorgeous!! You can follow the trail down to the beach for a gorgeous walk along the shore (coming back up can be a bit hard for some) or stay on the more gentle paved and sandy trails up top. This is not a swimming beach as the undertow and current are very strong.
