“A large population of Chinese lived here during the construction of the railroad.”
We headed back from Yosemite tired and eager for a warm shower and comfortable bed. After we had freshened up, we headed out to Hanford’s very own Chinatown and received a little lesson on our Chinese American heritage. Today, Chinatown consists of a one-block alley and was once home to Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century who came here to work on the railroad and on farms.

And least I forget, a great big thank you to our hosts, who opened up their home (B&B-style) so that we could wash-up and rest up for the remainder of our travels.
