Don't miss the beautiful outdoor pool at the Getty Villa Museum. It is very beautiful. It forms a beautiful landscape with flowers and plants outdoors. This also reflects the richness of the villa.
At the Getty Villa Museum, you can feel the high demands of people in the past for quality of life and living environment. Although it is a museum now, it was actually a real villa before, which is amazing!

My mom, youngest brother Luke & I went here for the first time Summer of 2012 to celebrate my 8th grade graduation. I discovered this park because I grew up going to Six Flags St. Louis with my parents, friends, & Luke as my home park frequently since I was about 8 years old & became more of a thrill seeker first with SFSTL, then Six Flags Great America, and I used to go on the Six Flags website because I was curious about seeing parks in other states & seeing what kind of rides the other parks had to offer & discovered Six Flags Magic Moutain as I was browsing & thought this park looked like so much fun, which it really was! My mom took my youngest brother Luke to meet the Looney Tunes characters & Hurricane Harbor waterpark since he wasn't tall enough yet to go on the major thrill rides while I went on lots of amazing rollerocasters with Val, someone who used to babysit for us whenever she was able to. We stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn right across the street from the park, took a picture of X2 which could be seen from our hotel, palm trees in the parking lot, & our elevator had Looney Tunes characters on it which made the Hilton Garden Inn Unique! My dad was also excited for us because Six Flags Magic Mountain is the park featured in his favorite movie, National Lampoon's Vacation & is only about an hour and 40 minutes from Santa Monica beach! Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California.
their rides are amazing the customer service is amazing their water park is awesome they're right X2 is great especially at night

Universal Studios Express Pass is a must-have for summer vacation. It's incredibly cost-effective. Booking with Ctrip is incredibly convenient, with tickets issued in just one second! I previously booked tickets somewhere else, but they didn't come through for an hour. I was so anxious I canceled and switched to Ctrip! Ctrip is truly reliable, and the price/performance ratio is better than Beijing! I hit all the attractions in one day, and basically played them as soon as I arrived with minimal lines. I even ate at Mario's Mushroom Restaurant! I had a blast! 🥳 Harry Potter and the Minions are a little different from Japan. The studio tour was a bit underwhelming at first, but it was amazing later on. Overall, I highly recommend it!!!
The ticket purchasing process was smooth, with a simple and clear interface. I filled in the ballot, filled in my information, and paid in just a few minutes. Tickets were also issued quickly, with clear order information. I easily entered the park with the QR code I received.
No.

Griffith Park: Wilderness and Stars on the Top of Los Angeles
Griffith Park is no fine garden, but a rugged and charming oasis in Los Angeles. As one of the largest urban parks in North America, it is definitely worth a special visit, especially for travelers who want to embrace the majestic nature and urban legends at the same time.
The undisputed centerpiece is the Griffith Observatory, which stands on the top of the mountain. It is an architectural masterpiece in itself, and it also has a "God's eye view" overlooking Los Angeles. During the day, the Hollywood sign is clearly visible on the hillside in the distance, and the city skyline spreads out at your feet; but at dusk is the real magic moment, when the setting sun melts into gold and the city lights gradually light up until they merge into a dazzling starry sky. Inside the observatory, Foucault's pendulum swings leisurely and the dome screen presents cosmic wonders, where science and romance blend together.
The vast hinterland of the park is a paradise for hikers and explorers. From easy family-friendly trails to challenging mountain routes (such as the steep trail leading to the Hollywood sign), there are many options. Walk through the dusty California oak forests and cactus bushes, encounter deer or coyotes, and feel the wilderness. The abandoned zoo area is a mysterious and desolate place, which is an alternative check-in point. The Greek Theater is hidden deep in the valley and holds concerts in certain seasons. Listening to the sounds of nature under the stars is an unforgettable experience.
Real challenges to note: Parking in the observatory area is extremely difficult due to the constant crowds (it is strongly recommended to use the DASH Observatory Shuttle or online taxi); the facilities inside the park are relatively primitive, some trails lack shade and the signs are not clear enough, so you need to plan your route in advance and prepare enough drinking water.
In short, the charm of Griffith Park lies in its primitive and simple wildness and unparalleled vision. Touch the stars in the observatory, feel the mountain breeze on the trail, and listen to the echo in the Greek Theater, and you will understand why it is not only a landmark of Los Angeles, but also a spiritual home for citizens-an extraordinary bridge connecting the bustling city with the quiet wilderness, the real earth and the vast universe.
A very suitable place to enjoy the night view of Los Angeles, you can overlook the night view of the entire Los Angeles, but it is often crowded here, so you have to squeeze out a spot by yourself~ It was a bit foggy when we came, and the weather was not very good, but you can still enjoy a good night view. It is said that this is the filming location of the movie Lalaland. Friends who are interested can come to make a pilgrimage!
