Explore the Rich Heritage of Sing Chong Building

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the heart of Chinatown, make your way to Grant Avenue, which is a main thoroughfare. Begin at the intersection of Grant Avenue and Sacramento Street. Head north on Grant Avenue for about two blocks. You will pass by various shops and restaurants. Continue walking until you reach the Sing Chong Building located at 601 Grant Ave, on your left-hand side. The building is recognizable by its distinct architectural style that reflects the cultural heritage of Chinatown.

• Public Transport (Muni)

  If you are further away and prefer public transport, you can take the Muni bus. Locate the nearest bus stop that services routes such as the 30 or 45. Board the bus and ride until you reach the stop at Grant Avenue and California Street. From there, head south on Grant Avenue for about half a block, and you will find Sing Chong Building at 601 Grant Ave on your left. Note that a single ride on Muni costs $3.00, and you can pay using a Clipper card or cash.

• Cable Car

  Another option is to take the iconic San Francisco cable car. You can catch the Powell-Hyde or Powell-Mason line at the Powell and Market Streets station. Ride the cable car to the Powell and California stop. Upon disembarking, walk south on Powell Street until you reach California Street, then turn left and head east until you reach Grant Avenue. Turn right onto Grant Avenue, and Sing Chong Building will be on your right at 601 Grant Ave. A ride on the cable car costs $8.00.
