Historical background
San Francisco Chinatown is the oldest in North America and largest outside of Asia. All original buildings were destroyed during the 1906 fire. When Chinese immigrants first made the voyage to "Gold Mountain", the Chinese name for California during the Gold Rush, one of their first missions was to thank the deity who guided them safely across the Pacific. The temple they built to honor the goddess Tin How (also known as Mazu) in 1852 is still in its original location, and is the oldest Taoist temple in America.
