San Francisco
These two shops are across the street from each other. An item from either would make a great souvenir.
717 Grant St./Sacramento St., Chinatown, (415) 989-5182. Daily 10am-8pm.
Family-owned since 1969, the tiny Chinatown Kite Shop stocks all kinds of kites--Asian fighting kites, dragon kites, traditional Chinese handmade silk-butterfly kites, cartoon-character diamond kites, and even dual-control stunt kites. Not interested in flying a kite? Consider using them as a room decoration. Chinese costumes and a lion dance costume are also available.

Owner Tane Chan calls the wok the “original nonstick pan” and provides directions on how to season one. She promotes Chinese culinary arts, has written a book about stir-frying, and has many demonstration videos on YouTube. The Wok Shop also is stocked with interesting cooking equipment and, of course, Chinese tea sets.
