What travellers say about Cupertino

YoYo_1I8Q7O5O1 May 2026

5.0

Silicon Valley doesn't really feel like a tourist attraction. I stood in front of Apple's giant ring for a while; the security guard was polite but wouldn't let me in. Google's colorful bicycles were there, but passersby were too busy looking at their phones. In the roadside cafes, people were frowning so deeply at their computers they could trap a mosquito. Driving around, all you see are low-rise office buildings, much like a typical industrial area. But sitting on a park bench near Stanford, watching kids fly kites, was much more comfortable than any of those tech parks.

The campus is open and has no walls. There is a large lawn in the middle that is sunken and below the ground. There are parking spaces around it. It is very comfortable to lie on the grass. There are many attractions on the entire campus, and this is just one of them.

The colorful Google headquarters is located in Mountain View. An old classmate who works at Google enthusiastically took us inside to visit and introduced us. In the beautiful environment surrounded by bright sunshine and green trees, Google employees can be seen sitting on the ground at work, discussing problems in groups of three or two, or operating computers alone. It is rare to be able to engage in high-tech creative work in such a relaxing and comfortable environment!

When visiting the Computer Museum in Silicon Valley, the first thing I saw was the Chinese abacus from the 1960s, which supported hexadecimal, and then the familiar VAX11 machine. Bosch had the ABS anti-lock braking system in 1978, and Mercedes-Benz used it later. After the IEEE 802.11b standard was established, WiFi routers appeared in the United States in 2000. 2011 was truly the WiFi year in China, and the three major operators focused on the battle for WiFi. In that year, the WiFi usage rate of Chinese smartphone netizens was 14.8% [%].

It is not a very big museum, but the exhibits are interesting. There is a souvenir shop downstairs with interesting items to choose from. There are not many people, it is not crowded, it is easy to walk around. There are many rooms inside for exhibits.
