Lower Antelope Canyon

The Lower Antelope Canyon is located in the north of Arizona, USA. It is formed by soft sandstone after millions of years of various erosion forces. Flash floods often flow into the canyon during the monsoon season. Due to the sudden increase in rainfall, the flow rate of the flash flood is quite fast. In addition, the narrow channel narrows the river channel, so the vertical erosion force is relatively large, forming the corridor at the bottom of the Lower Antelope Canyon and the hard and smooth edges on the valley wall that look like flowing water. There is no artificial lighting in the Lower Antelope Canyon. All visible light comes from the cracks at the top of the canyon. These lights are repeatedly refracted by the rock texture and enter the valley bottom, producing a dreamy and irregular color change. These colors are from deep to light, colorful and beautiful.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's largest single-span suspension bridges and is considered a symbol of San Francisco. Spanning 2.7 kilometers, it spans the entire San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Strait in the Pacific Ocean, serving as a vital transportation hub connecting San Francisco with cities to the north. American blockbusters such as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "X-Men" have also been filmed here.

Palace of Fine Art

The San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama Pacific International Exposition. After the conference, the Palace of Fine Arts gradually fell into disuse and eventually became a ruin. It was not until 1962 that the famous German architect Maybeck redesigned and renovated it, giving it a second youthful beauty.

Lombard Street

Lombard Street is known as the "world's most crooked street". Many movies such as "Venom" have filmed racing scenes here. It is one of the most popular landmarks in San Francisco. Every year, millions of tourists walk or drive through its eight sharp turns. It is surrounded by the mansions of Russian Hill, well-manicured landscapes and flowers, and is also one of the most scenic streets in the city. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the breathtaking view of San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge and Coit Tower.

San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf is a household name in San Francisco. Starting from Ghirardelli Square and extending to Pier 35, you can see the busiest Pier 39 with its various shops, restaurants, and street performances, as well as the views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay Bridge.

San Francisco Bay Cruise

The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge and the spectacular Oakland Bay Bridge are the faces of San Francisco. You can visit these two attractions one by one by taking a cruise. The cruise passes under the beautiful bridge, and you can feel the sea breeze on your face and feel relaxed and happy. You can also get a close look at the spectacular scenery of Alcatraz Island. Such a trip will definitely bring you very good memories.

San Francisco Civic Center Plaza

San Francisco Civic Center Plaza, also known as Joseph L. Alioto Plaza, is situated in the heart of downtown San Francisco. It stretches north to City Hall, south to Fulton Plaza, and east to the California State Supreme Court building. The area showcases a variety of architectural styles, with City Hall—constructed in 1915 in the French Renaissance design—serving as its iconic centerpiece. Additionally, the plaza functions as a cultural and artistic hub, home to premier performance venues such as the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall.

Twin Peaks

The two hills, about 270 meters above sea level, are also the only natural hills preserved in San Francisco. They are famous for their 360-degree panoramic views. Twin Peaks are the two main commanding heights in San Francisco, and there is an 8-shaped road surrounding the two peaks. The mountaintop observation deck here has a panoramic view of the beauty of San Francisco because there are no dense trees blocking it. Looking down from the peak, the bustling San Francisco city view and the charming bay scenery will make you intoxicated.
