Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Island is a small island located in San Francisco Bay, about 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) offshore from San Francisco, California. It is most famous for the federal penitentiary that operated there from 1934 to 1963.

Lombard Street

avatar
泰迪小熊
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.

Big Bus Tours San Francisco

Very convenient, just verify the QR code on the bus, much cheaper than buying on site. The route is also better, arrange the itinerary, and then start to appreciate the beauty of San Francisco!

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

旅途花样多
Located in downtown, this museum has a modern decoration style. It has famous paintings by Picasso and other masters, as well as iconic works by Yayoi Kusama. The fifth floor (I think) is about homosexual photography, which fits the tone of San Francisco. There is an American coffee shop where you can rest and have lunch when you are tired at noon. It is worth going.

Golden Gate Bridge

泰迪小熊
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.

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.

Union Square

泰迪小熊
Came on September 24, 2017. Union Square is the city center of San Francisco, surrounded by downtown, surrounded by many classic buildings with a sense of age. Various brands and big-name flagship stores are mainly concentrated along the Geary Street on the south side of the square; there are some small shops on Post Street on the north side. You can go shopping here, just find a shop to sit down and eat and drink. In addition, San Francisco's popular tuk-tuk is also around the square, you can sit and play.

Chinatown

泰迪小熊
Came on September 24, 2017. "San Francisco" is actually a nickname for Chinese to San Francisco, California, which is enough to experience generations of Chinese people who have been based in the city for a long time, and San Francisco's Chinatown is also a relatively large Chinese community in the United States. As tourists from the motherland, we naturally come here to punch in. The first time I came to Chinatown, I had a sense of sputum. It is obviously a place where Chinese people live, and Chinese is also everywhere, but it doesn't look "China". Later, I figured out that the earliest Chinese emigrated to the United States was the Qing Dynasty, and then experienced the Republic of China and New China, plus the integration of local American culture, so the overall face of Chinatown looked familiar and strange. Although it may be a long time since we left our country, we can still feel the red heart of most Chinese people. We were already a week away from the National Day, and Chinatown had already put up lights and colored, hanging banners celebrating the National Day early, and really showed that "although the dress is worn, my heart is still the Chinese heart".
