Trip.com It is convenient to buy tickets, and there are discounts. There are main parks such as Harry Potter, Mario, Mummy Transformers. After entering the gate, the water performance is very exciting. It is worth seeing. Los Angeles must visit attractions.

Disneyland Park California

This Thanksgiving holiday, my friend and I chose to go to Disney California, the experience is simply full! Just stepped into Disney, the strong holiday atmosphere came to our face, and Thanksgiving elements were decorated everywhere, making people instantly immersed in joy and warmth. The park is beyond imagination, but fortunately there is a fast pass, greatly reducing the queue time, so that we can enjoy the fun of playing. However, I still don't understand the reservation mechanism. Every appointment has to wait an hour and a half to two hours to make an appointment to make an appointment for the next project. I feel that the waiting time is a bit long. It would be better if it could be optimized. The whole park is clean and tidy, the staff's service is also very intimate, all kinds of cute IP characters can be seen everywhere, they interact with tourists warmly, especially interesting. My friend and I bought a lot of good-looking badges here, each of which is unique, and now seeing these badges, I can also remember the joyous scene at that time. Adventure park is our happy paradise, we have sat on every roller coaster, the feeling of wind and wind, the stimulation of heartbeat, really fun! When playing the sunset flying car, although the sunset of the day is not so perfect, but also have a special flavor. The jumper is my favorite, even brush twice to enjoy, from the moment of rapid fall from the heights, screaming and laughter intertwined, release all the pressure. The Christmas tree in the park is also specially filmed, the lights are bright, and the decoration is beautiful. My friend and I took a lot of beautiful photos underneath, and Zhang Zhang can be used as wallpaper. Unfortunately, there was no fireworks show that day, a little regret, I can only look forward to making up for it next time. Disney California really brought us a wonderful memory, here, we enjoy the joy, as if back to a carefree childhood. I hope to come with friends next time and feel the wonder and joy of this exclusive Disney again! @Jeremy

Golden Gate Park

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.

USS Midway Museum

It is very convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. After the ticket is issued, it is very convenient to scan the code with the electronic ticket to enter, without making an appointment in advance. The Midway is very fun and worth going. My dad had a lot of fun. The scenery at the seaside is also good. It is less than 5 minutes away from the statue of the kiss of the century.

The Winchester Mystery House is also a very distinctive urban building. You can also see many interesting little things in the Mystery House. You can also see many things in this science and technology center, which is also a very interesting and fun thing.

Apple Infinite Loop

泰迪小熊
Came here on September 25, 2017. This is a store in the Apple headquarters campus. Next door is the headquarters building. It is simply a "headquarters marketing department". If the Apple headquarters is considered a tourist attraction, then this Apple store is undoubtedly a "tourist store". Many Apple fans come to the Apple headquarters to check in, and they will naturally buy things here. Therefore, the "customers" here have several characteristics: many of them are with their families, buy several things at a time, and take photos at the door or in the store after shopping... These scenes are not seen in ordinary Apple stores, and only the "headquarters marketing department" has this treatment. It seems that what you buy here are "local specialties", but in fact, this store is no different from other stores.

California State Capitol Museum

It took a two-hour drive from San Francisco to Sacramento, the capital of California. We went to the State Capitol Building, also known as the Little White House. Its exterior was magnificent and its interior was exquisite and elegant. We also visited the State Capitol Hall and saw a large photo of Schwarzenegger.
