Whether you’re looking for the latest Broadway smash (当红作品), a 19th-century classic, or an avant-garde (前卫派) surprise, San

Fran cisco’s theaters have what you’re looking for. The Curran develops daring new works, while Broad way SF (Broadway San Francisco, LLC) brings the best of Broadway to its Orpheum and Golden Gate theaters. The San Francisco Opera regularly stages the classics in inventive new ways.

Dance

San Francisco is a city of dance. America’s first professional ballet company was founded here in the 1930s. The 20-year-old San Francisco International Hip Hop Dance Festival attracts performers from all over the world. Companies like the Alonzo King LINES Ballet push the boundaries of what dance (and dancers) can accomplish. There are enough dance festivals to plan your trip around, including the

Bay Area Dance Week in spring and the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival in June.

Cultural Festivals

A city as diverse as San Francisco always has plenty to celebrate, and the annual festivals that celebrate our citizens’ heritage are a great example of art uniting community.

that can add unexpected excitement to your visit.

2. In the last few years. “bike-sharing” companies like oBike, ofo, and Mobike began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore with bikes. But I didn’t take long before there were too many companies and too many bikes on the streets. Soon many companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of unused rental bikes. Many of them were completely new.

Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized that though these bikes didn’t have any value where they were, they could do a lot of good

for schoolchildren in Myanmar. Some children in Myanmar travel an

hour or more on foot every day to get to school. Soon. Mr. Than Tun Win had raised around $400, 000 for the LessWalk project. About half

of the money was his own, and the other half was given by companies.

The LessWalk project bought thousands of new rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. Once in Myanmar, the bikes are changed to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second place to sit at the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school

on one bike. Recently they’ve added another change—they’re u sing special tires that don’t go flat to take the place of the bike’s regular tires. With all the changes, Mr. Than says each bike costs Less Walk about $35.

Giving out the bikes takes a little longer, since Less Walk wants to make sure that the bikes go to the students who need them the most. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and schools to

focus on poor students who walk close to two hours a day to school.

Though Less Walk only began in March, the project has already brought around 22, 500 bikes into Myanmar and has given out over 1, 000 bikes. Mr. Than Tun Win hopes to bring in as many as 100,000

bikes and expand the program to Laos and Cambodia.
