🌸I didn't know when the first American drama would happen in this literary town when I went there for the first time. After the Great Women Kill fire, a story happening in this filter-filled town, both magical and reasonable . Because Pasadena is a place with a high level of history and a pleasant surprise. 🍄Traffic guide: It's very close to LA city area. We drove by ourselves. 🌼Local must punch: the attraction is the town center itself, which is the neighborhood I feel really small and exquisite, park the car in one place, you can all walk. But it takes a lot of time, because it is so beautiful, I want to shoot everywhere! 🌻Gourmet Raiders: Pasadena has a special praise and one thing that makes us go back to review is that there are so many Chinese dishes. We went to a super authentic Sichuan hotpot restaurant! highly recommended!
