The San Francisco New Year’s Eve fireworks, known as the city’s most highly anticipated midnight spectacle, attract massive crowds to the edge of the San Francisco Bay. To ensure optimal viewing, it is recommended to secure your spot by 7 PM, well before the dazzling display commences at 11:59 PM. 

 For approximately 15-20 minutes, the night sky is illuminated with bursts of vibrant colors, creating a mesmerizing reflection on the surface of the bay. The southern end of the Ferry Building offers prime vantage points, allowing an unobstructed view of this spectacular pyrotechnic showcase. 

 Another exceptional option is Rincon Park, strategically located along the waterfront, providing a perfect position to witness the fireworks against the sparkling skyline of the city. For those seeking a hidden gem favored by locals, Pier 14 offers an unparalleled view of the glittering New Year’s Eve celebration in San Francisco, particularly if you secure a spot by the water rather than the street.

Historic buildings

A few hundred metres from San Francisco&#39;s pier, Alcatraz was once the hardest-core prison in the United States, and after the prison closed in the 1960s, Alcatraz was occupied by Native Americans for nineteen months, and the island&#39;s social hall was burned down. Alcatraz became the Golden Gate National Amusement Park, designated as a national historical landmark in 1986, including the burned social hall, which is 15 minutes by boat from San Francisco.

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
