North Beach or &quot;Little Italy&quot; as they call it, near Chinatown, is a popular neighborhood in San Francisco full of Italian heritage. It is also a popular area for Italian Americans. Here you can find many traditional Italian restaurants and cafes, grocery stores and bars. We loved walking around the area and discovering the different shops and buildings. We had authentic and delicious seafood at the Italian restaurant Sotto Marie. Great area.

It is a very worthwhile place to visit. I wonder why domestic museums cannot be like this, focusing on knowledge acquisition, without the messy rings, children&#39;s electric cars, and &quot;Dad&#39;s dad is grandpa&quot;

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.

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 &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.
