动物园之旅对于我这种懒人来说实在是太友好了,整个园区交通设施很方便就是坐缆车,坐车,上车,吹风,听讲解员讲动物习性。整整一个月都沉静在我要保护动物们的想法中。

The ticket was very useful. I booked it one evening in advance and received the entry code in the morning. It is worth going. I went in the afternoon and walked for 4 hours. There was no queue for the cable car on Friday evening. I like to see tigers and elephants and ride the cable car the most.

Balboa Park: Balboa Park, covering an area of 4.9 square kilometers, is a famous cultural park in the center of San Diego, USA. It is named after the Spanish explorer Vasco de Balboa. Balboa Park is the former site of the 1915 World's Fair in California. The city of San Diego built many magnificent museum buildings for the World's Fair. The complex castle buildings not only reflect the characteristics of the Spanish colonial Renaissance period that was popular at the time, but also reveal a strong Gothic, Baroque and Rococo style. There are 14 museums, four theaters, a complex sports field, a rose garden and a Japanese garden in the park, adding brilliant colors to the park. The famous San Diego Zoo is also located in the park. Most of the venues in the park have been demolished, leaving only a few to be preserved forever, so that future generations can imagine the grand occasion of the year. In 1977, Balboa Park was rated as a national historic landmark.

La Jolla Beach The La Jolla (Jewelry in Spanish) area is located in the north of downtown San Diego. It is a famous natural ecological reserve in Southern California, the main residential area for the rich in San Diego, and a famous tourist area. It is close to the Pacific Ocean, with both excellent beaches and cliffs and reefs. The blue and transparent sea water is sometimes calm and sometimes rough. The beach here is particularly soft and fine, suitable for various beach sports. There are toilets and showers on the beach. There are many surfing spots when the tide rises and falls. The sea surface is relatively calm between the tides, so La Jolla has become a resort for surfers, swimmers and sunbathers.

The unique historical origin has created a unique local customs. When visiting Santiago, the Old Town Historical Park is worth a visit. Walking in the park, in the old streets and alleys with a strong ancient charm, the deepest FIESTA DE REYES is the most popular. Fiesta de Reyes is a group of Mexican-style courtyards that integrates catering, shops, leisure and entertainment. Environment-"Coco" This "record" has a cool atmosphere that is natural, the stage-young and old dancers are full of fun, and the surroundings-tourists from all over the world are eating and enjoying themselves...Experiencing the colorful exotic customs feels really good.

Belmont Park is a small amusement park in Mission Beach. The most famous and fun thing in it should be the wooden roller coaster. You can see the beautiful scenery of Mission Beach from it. It is suitable for bringing children to play together.

The day before yesterday, San Diego had its first heavy rain in six months. The sunny San Diego after the rain was particularly charming. This morning I went to Torrey Pines State Beach. It was beautiful.
