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.

8.8/10 Excellent! (779 reviews)

I stayed at Proper Hotwl last night and couldn’t be happier. The hotel is very stylish, artistic, and spotless. I really liked the Aesop brand amenities, the shampoo, creams, and hand wash were a nice touch. The rooftop bar Charmaine’s is one of my favorite spots in San Francisco, with great vibes and charm. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and overall, it was a fun and pleasant stay.
