Take a charming tour of Chinatown! What in the world could you possibly see at an old gai see, just you and me on a warm and easy, slightly breezy springtime Saturday morning? In Cantonese, gai see means “street market,” the lively place where vendors sell all their goods from open-air stalls, pushcarts, and stores. Join a curious little boy as he shops at the market with his family in every season and discovers many special treasures. From noodles in the spring to dragon fruit in the summer, from chocolate coins in the fall to firecrackers for Chinese New Year in the winter, you never know what you might find during a magical stroll through Chinatown.
