The San Francisco Main Public Library will host author and Eth-Noh-Tec Co-Director Nancy Wang from 1:30-3:30 PM on February 2nd, 2025 for the launch of her historical novel, Red Altar. This event is free and open to the public, and will include a reading by the author followed by a Q&A with Professor of Asian American Studies, Russel Jeung Ph.D. On Sunday, February 2nd from 1-3 PM, the San Francisco Main Public Library will host the book launch of author Nancy Wang’s latest novel, Red Altar. Red Altar is a work of historical fiction that tells the story of the Monterey Bay area’s Chinese fishing villages of the 1850's. This is the true story of three generations of Chinese fishermen surviving and building community despite the anti-Chinese laws and violence they experienced in California. Based on Wang’s own family history, Red Altar is written in conversation with the realities of racial injustice that continue to impact BIPOC communities today, weaving awareness and harvesting wisdom from freedom struggles past and present. Wang will read excerpts from the book, followed by a Q&A facilitated by Russell Jeung, Ph.D., Professor of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University. The event will take place in the library’s Chinese Center on the 3rd floor. While the event is free and open to the public, donations are welcome! Food will be provided. This book launch will kick off a book tour that will take place throughout the spring of 2025, including a reading at local San Francisco bookstores Medicine for Nightmares, Fabulosa Books, and others. Follow @ethnohtec on Instagram and Facebook, or check our website www.ethnohtec.org for the full book tour schedule. Eth-Noh-Tec is an Asian American storytelling non-profit co-founded in 1981 by Nancy Wang and Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo. Eth-Noh-Tec presents ancient and contemporary Asian stories, with a mission to build bridges that create compassionate communities through art of storytelling.

The San Francisco Public Library first opened in 1879, damaged by the 1989 earthquake, and the current library was built in 1995, with six floors up and down, as well as a basement, twice as large as the old library building.

Golden Gate Park

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Alcatraz Island is a small island located in San Francisco Bay, about 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) offshore from San Francisco, California. It is most famous for the federal penitentiary that operated there from 1934 to 1963.

Lombard Street

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco.

Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road.

If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain.

Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver&#39;s license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.
