a lot of sea lions! a must see place in san francisco! should get a sea lion plushie as well as a gift!
The Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco is the earliest known tourist attraction, located in San Francisco Bay within the Golden Gate Bridge, with a mild climate, calm water and pleasant scenery throughout the year. Fisherman's Wharf is close to the old town of San Francisco. There are many things to see, many things to play, and the transportation is convenient. There are many restaurants and hotels nearby, so you can walk slowly.

A few hundred metres from San Francisco'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'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.
Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

Came here on September 24, 2017. 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 "I've been here". 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.
iconic landmark in San Francisco. there’s a beach nearby , a nice place to soak up some sun.

Came here on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco. Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road. If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain. Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver's license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.
Such a rich street. Just bursting with history. Lombard street must be a wonderful place to live on. The trees are so GREEN and the streets are so clean. It makes the living area so good you wouldn't want to leave. The hills in Dan Francisco amaze me as well, so many movies shot here. Like Miss Doubt fire and many more. Warner Bros is so lucky!!

Although the overall area is not very large, the picturesque scenery is very interesting. The whole is the style of ancient Roman ruins. It is built for the World's Expo. The later renovation and use continue to this day. In addition to Roman architecture, the Roman column can be seen, and there is also a fountain pool, many beautiful flowers and green plants, and the faces of tourists from all over the world. Suitable for taking pictures and punching in, there are scenes everywhere
An architectural marvel and a timeless gem, the Palace of Fine Arts offers a stunning blend of history, culture, and serene beauty. A must-visit for anyone exploring San Francisco!

The essence section is the section from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and it must be opened from San Francisco to Los Angeles, because the road on the right is facing the sea, this direction is open, and the scenery is beautiful. It is really the most beautiful road. We drove for 3 days, the first day from San Francisco to Monterey, the second day to Pismo Beach, the third day to Los Angeles, all the way to stop, while walking, playing, the sea view is invincible, a lot of flowers that have not been seen in China, really beautiful. The main attractions passing by are Half Moon Bay, Dove Point Lighthouse, Monterey Town, Carmel Town, 17 Mile Bay, Big Sur McVeigh Falls, Bixby River Bridge, Elephant Seal Beach, Pismo Beach, Solvan Danish Town, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica Beach, etc.
Highway 1 in California, USA, connects San Francisco and Los Angeles from north to south. It winds along the west coast of the United States from San Diego in the south to Leggett in the northernmost part of California, where it joins Highway 101. It is over 1,000 kilometers long. On one side is the vast sea and sky and the waves crashing on the shore, with sails dotted and gray whales cruising; on the other side are steep cliffs and mountains, lush pastures, herds of cattle and horses, and the beauty is breathtaking. This road is known as the most beautiful road in the world and was also rated as one of the 50 places you must visit in your life by the National Geographic Magazine of the United States. If Highway 1 is divided into three sections, we just walked the middle section, San Francisco-Los Angeles, a total of more than 800 kilometers. First day check-in attractions: Stanford University, Monterey Pier, 17 Mile, Purple Sand Beach, Bixby Bridge, Elephant Seal Beach.

The Twin Towers are Xiamen's landmark buildings, facing the Gulangyu Island Scenic Area. Nearby are all luxury houses, which belong to the rich and the noble. It is so comfortable to sit on the Twin Towers, drink afternoon tea and enjoy the autumn sunshine.
The Twin Peaks is a landmark building in Xiamen. It faces Gulangyu Island and is authentically facing the sea. The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, which makes people feel very happy. Next to it is the Ring Road. Although the Twin Peaks are not as high as the Twin Towers in Malaysia, they are definitely the most popular attractions in Xiamen.

San Francisco City Hall is a rebuilt town hall that was destroyed in the 1905 Great Earthquake. Built in 1915, it looks a lot like the Capitol in the United States, but is taller than the Capitol in the United States.
I originally thought that the City Hall was just an ordinary American city government office building, but later I found that it completely overturned my imagination of the city government! The outside of the City Hall is very spectacular, and there is a large square in front of it. The interior is very gorgeously decorated, with a European-style building feel. You can take pictures everywhere! On the day we came, we saw many couples taking wedding photos! If you come to San Francisco, I highly recommend visiting here. (Remember to check the business hours in advance to avoid disappointment)
