Route 1 in California connects San Francisco to Los Angeles from north to south, and from San Diego at the southern end along the west coast of the United States, to the northernmost Leggett in California, into Route 101, which is more than 1,000 kilometers long. On one side is the scene of the sea and the sky and the waves, the sails are a little bit, and the gray whales swim; on the other side is the steep cliffs and flocks of green, the grass is like grass, the cattle and horses are in groups, beautiful. Known as the most beautiful road in the world, this is also named one of the 50 places that National Geographic magazine has to visit in life. If Highway 1 is divided into three sections, we just walked the middle section, San Francisco-Los Angeles, and it was more than 800 kilometers. First day check-in attractions: Stanford University, Monterey Pier, 17 miles, Purple Beach, Bixby Bridge, Elephant Seal Beach.

The most scenic drive in CA with a perfect view of the vast ocean. It’s a refreshing treat to the eyes and the soul to drive along the 17 miles drive along the bay. make sure tyt you tie your hair well as they would be all over the place due to the strong wind.

Monterey Bay is located on the Pacific coast of California, between the two major cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Monterey Canyon is one of the world's largest underwater canyons and Asiloma State Marine Sanctuary is the marine protected area of Monterey Bay. Like underwater parks, these marine protected areas help protect marine wildlife and marine ecosystems.

First purchase on here and the ticket sounded almost too good to be true. Took my chance on them, and they worked without issue. Got scanned into the aquarium and had a blast with the kiddo. Took a family of 5 for the price of 2 people. Very good deal. Will buy from again.

Backed by the hillside, facing the blue sea, fine white beach, large tree cover, flower decoration, art Carmel is more spacious than European exquisite towns. Bohemian style architecture, the place where artists gather, Zhang Daqian has also lived here, only more than 4,000 residents of the coastal town, life should not be too comfortable. Left-hand cliff, right-hand wave Pacific, August 2016 self-driving California Highway 1, in the famous 17 miles back to the town of Carmel for 2 days, the first overseas self-driving tour of the best memory.

Apple is a famous park in Frog Valley. As a fruit powder, it is definitely going to Apple. Like Google, I personally think that Apple is also a great park, and it is really a technology that changes lives.
