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.
