I
love to go to San Francisco. It is a beautiful city with nice city
planning, and unique building architectures. I use to hang out in
Fishman Wharf, Unique Square, Chinatown, Golden Gate Park, and Japan
Town. Most of the tourist attractions are within walking distance,
walking around in the city not only let me feel and share the
excitement of the city heartbeat, but it is a good outdoor exercise
than treadmill.

The above
view is taken from the Golden Gate bridge. Near the ocean it is very
windy, so bring a wind proof jacket with you. The view below is
taken from the
Twin Peak. It gives you inside the city perspective than the ocean
view.

Unlike Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge does not allow pedestrians on it.


In
Union Square district, you can find department stores, shops,
restaurants, and hotels. You can ride the cable car from Union
Square to Fishman Wharf.


The main avenue of Chinatown is Grant Avenue, and it is between the
Bush and Broadway. Besides the Chinese restaurants and bakery, you
can also find stores that sell silk robes, Wok, Chinese furniture,
souvenirs, and grocery.

It
always lift my spirit when I walk along the Fishman Wharf. The sun,
water front, stores, sea mamuals, and people. Yes, the people there
are usually tourist. Since everyone is having a good time, it is fun
to be surrounding by happy ones. Don't you agree?

Japan town is not too big, but it is unique. I love to go to the
Japanese supermarket, restaurant, and even the bookstore.
