The Street Fairs of the Chinese in San Francisco

China has a history going back 5,000 years with a rich cultural heritage, many customs and traditions. For example, the Chinese calendar is older than the western calendar. The year is divided into 24 divisions and there are 12 animals for the zodiac.
Lots of Chinese live in San Francisco. They have a rich cultural heritage. They have street fairs to celebrate festivals two or three times a year in Chinatown. At the street fairs, they have lion dances, firecrackers, costumes, music, entertainment, foods, and many more.
I hope the cultural heritage of Chinese in San Francisco is fostered and enhanced forever.
