Chinatown: Fan Tan Alley

Interesting history: Named after the Chinese gambling game Fan-Tan, the alley was originally well known for opium factories that produced opium until it was made illegal in 1908. The alley became known for gambling and got its Fan Tan name from the card game of the same name during the 1910s. The area fell into disrepair over the years but was revitalized in the 70s & 80s and is now a tourist destination.
