Such a rich street. Just bursting with history. Lombard street must be a wonderful place to live on. The trees are so GREEN and the streets are so clean. It makes the living area so good you wouldn't want to leave. The hills in Dan Francisco amaze me as well, so many movies shot here. Like Miss Doubt fire and many more. Warner Bros is so lucky!!

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. General tourists will not go to this attraction specially, because we are free to travel and can be more relaxed. The park environment design is unparalleled and worth checking in for sightseeing.

Knowing that Alcatraz Island is a movie left a deep impression on me, but I always feel that the movie is fictional, just go to San Francisco to drive, the car drove up a rugged steep slope and parked at a traffic light, suddenly saw an island in the sea, exactly the same as in the movie, It's very shocking.

The San Francisco Palace of Art is a monumental building originally built for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Expo to display artwork. It is the only structure that survived the Expo. The most prominent building in the Palace of Art is a 49-metre-high open rotunda, surrounded by a lagoon on one side and adjacent to a large arced exhibition center, separated by a colonnade from the lagoon, which is very distinctive.

It's really iconic and great to see. Unfortunately, I couldn't ride it due to the long queue of tourists.
