Palace of Fine Arts Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts was originally built to display works of art for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, but was mostly rebuilt in 1965. It is currently enjoyed by visitors for its beauty, as well as by locals for private and corporate events and weddings. The entrance to the Palace of Fine Arts is often lively; you can often see children running about and playing in the open space. The lake and surrounding trees are also home to wildlife, such as ducks, birds and raccoons. The Palace of Fine Arts is designed in the Parisian Beaux-Arts-style and the interior of the rotunda's dome is exquisitely decorated. On top of the dusky red stone pillars stand sculptures of nymphs, which are a favorite subject of many photographers. The theater to the rear at the Palace of Fine Arts is a venue that also regularly hosts many diverse stage performances.

San Francisco not only has the Golden Gate Bridge cut throat island, but also has a cultural heritage. We went to the San Francisco Cultural Palace, which has many Western oil paintings, and the cultural heritage of the ancient Indians, so that we can see a civilization on the other side of the earth, and have a long experience.
The Art Palace (Palace of Fine Arts) is a must-visit attraction in San Francisco's port area. It was built in 1915 as the venue for the exhibition of artworks at the World's Fair. It was later rebuilt in 1965 to rebuild artificial lakes and walkways and strengthen the earthquake resistance of the building, and it was not completed until 2009. This is a popular spot in San Francisco, where newlyweds often take wedding photos and hold weddings.
Beautiful environment, good place for leisure, the building is also very distinctive, it is worth visiting
The exterior view of San Francisco's art-empty space is still very good, with lakes and surrounding gardens.
