Anonymous userI finally visited the legendary Alcatraz Island while traveling in San Francisco! First, be prepared, it will be very crowded—similar to places in China. The photos are full of heads. The eerie smell and atmosphere hit you as soon as you arrived. It's a very photogenic place.

136***99It 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's electric cars, and "Dad's dad is grandpa"

112***09This 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.

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.

Museums

Themed exhibition halls

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.

生长在海边的果果Although the overall area is not very large, the picturesque scenery is very interesting. The whole is the style of ancient Roman ruins. It is built for the World's Expo. The later renovation and use continue to this day. In addition to Roman architecture, the Roman column can be seen, and there is also a fountain pool, many beautiful flowers and green plants, and the faces of tourists from all over the world. Suitable for taking pictures and punching in, there are scenes everywhere

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.

吴乔乔At Stanford University in California, the Stanford couple's only son, Leland Stanford, died of typhoid fever in 1884 while traveling in Europe, aged just 15. In grief, the couple decided to spend their accumulated wealth on building a university to honor their son and provide educational opportunities for California teenagers. The world's best university ranking: #3, after Harvard and MIT, remained in the top three for years. In 2015 and 2018, respectively, the second tour of Stanford University, 2018 entered the famous memorial church on the campus.
