Whether it's because of their spiritual significance, impressive design or interesting history, temples usually feature on the itineraries of many visitors. Kong Chow Temple is a popular religious site you shouldn't miss.

Kong Chow Temple is an ideal place kick off your day in Downtown San Francisco. This place of worship comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow some time for other sights like Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

6.2/10 (862 reviews)

No parking needed. The facility looked decent on the outside, but very dated and run down on the inside. It's a place to sleep for the night. The Becks motel/hotel in the Castro was a much better experience. Some older hotels just have that lived in look.
