Harry Potter like fantasy bookstore, The Last Bookstore♥️
#bookstoresandgalleries
Check in at a Harry Potter like fantasy bookstore, The Last Bookstore, a magical bookstore in the world. I love browsing the vinyl section, but I don't quite understand. But a hair burning Mav attachment that is definitely suitable for someone who likes vinyl records.
In order to ensure the reading environment, cameras are not allowed to take pictures in the bookstore, only use the mobile phone Mordor Most Beautiful Bookstore.
In addition, the bookstore also sells related souvenirs, which are very creative. A [Note] When thinking of the actual name of the Southern Information Bureau to make an appointment in advance, it is better to make an appointment in advance when going to the weekend

Universal studios Hollywood Fantastic visit 🇺🇸
#usatrip
[Los Angeles] Universal Studios from opening to closing
Universal Studio is the most successful "Hollywood" theme park in the world. It is distributed in major cities around the world. It does international business and shapes world-class brands.
Especially as the originator Universal Studios in Los Angeles, it is even more
TripAdvisor is listed as a must-do thing to do in Los Angeles
Top of the list!! It can be said that if you don't come to Los Angeles or go to Universal Studios, it will be in valn.
For Universal Studios, you need to register to buy tickets online, and the operation time of the park is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I'm going to stay from the opening to the closing.
12 hours, so I bought an ordinary ticket, but I strongly recommend everyone to buy Universal Express, because one of the purposes of my travel is to experience the lifestyle of local ordinary people. I have no choice but to spend more money for privileges, but most people don't have me. I don't have my physical strength and endurance, so I advise you to buy Express directly for the sake of your travel comfort, especially if it's not easy for you to come from Asia.
Don't save this small amount of money. 💰
Top Stimulating roller coaster Six Flags in Los Angeles 🇺🇸
#usatrip
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles, USA, is Tsuji Mountain.
A theme park famous for cars
It has been reviewed twice by USA Today since its opening in 1971.
Personally, I think it is slightly better than the domestic roller coaster in terms of the degree of thrill and the number of types.
Babies travelling to Los Angeles must come and experience the screaming is really cool!

Universal Studios Supremacy Hollywood🌟🌹
#universalstudiosingapore
Arrived at 8:30 in the morning, no one queued up to play the mummy and the Transformers in Ambiguous Rocky Park. They were suspended and closed, and then went to play the two items of Harry Potter, exactly the same as those in Osaka, Beijing. You played an English version and then went to play the universal studio tour. It was worth it and only Hollywood has it! I played Simpson again, and I personally love Simpson the most. I really enjoyed watching it and filmed it for half an hour. I met him and got it! Then I went to paint the mummy again. I came to shoot Transformers for the second time. It was shown that I had to arrange for minutes. Then the Haocaiwu Universal Studios, who likes to travel to the beautiful Guoqin, left the park
From LA Buzz to Huntington Beach Bliss

I recently embarked on an unforgettable adventure in Los Angeles and Huntington Beach! The journey began with a thrilling visit to Dodger Stadium, where I cheered on the Dodgers amidst a sea of passionate fans.

The adventure continued at Huntington Beach, where I basked in the sun, watched playful seals, and was amazed by sightings of dolphins and a majestic blue whale. This trip perfectly blended the vibrant energy of LA with the serene beauty of the California coast—truly a dream holiday!

Watts Towers Arts Center 🇺🇸
#bookstoresandgalleries
My visit to the Watts Towers Arts Center in Los Angeles was a unique and inspiring part of my summer vacation! 🎨🏰 Located in the Watts neighborhood, the arts center is home to the remarkable Watts Towers—an intricate series of towers made from steel and adorned with mosaic tiles, shells, and glass. The entrance fee is modest, around $10, which is a great value for such a distinctive cultural experience.
The towers were created by Simon Rodia over 33 years, and the detail and creativity are truly impressive. The arts center also features exhibits about Rodia’s life and the local community’s artistic endeavors. The surrounding Watts neighborhood has a rich history, and it’s worth exploring the nearby community murals and cultural sites. 🌟🖼️
If you’re in LA and want to experience something off the beaten path, the Watts Towers Arts Center is a must-see!

Los Angeles|Griffith Observatory Travel Tips
Griffith Observatory, the filming location of the movie 'La La Land', is one of the must-visit attractions in Los Angeles and one of my personal favorites😌.
.
🚕Transportation
✔️Take a taxi directly up the hill. After getting off, walk a short distance to the entrance. It is recommended to avoid holidays and weekends, and go a bit earlier. Many people go up the hill around 4 or 5 PM to watch the sunset🌇, which can cause traffic jams.
✔️When going down, you can take a free shuttle bus to the bottom of the hill and then take a taxi, which can save some fare😁.
👀Highlights
✔️The observatory does not require an entrance fee. Watching a show costs $10, and you can buy tickets on the spot. The seats are incredibly comfortable, especially for those who have been walking all day. Lying on the sofa and looking up at the vast universe is extremely relaxing👏.
✔️Viewing through the telescope is free, but you need to wait in a long line.
✔️Don't miss the dome mural and Foucault pendulum in the observatory hall.
✔️Be sure not to miss the sunset🌅 and the twilight after sunset at the observatory, which are breathtakingly beautiful.
⚠️Reminders
✔️Closed on Mondays.
✔️The signal📶 on the hill is not very good, especially indoors.
Walk into American TV Series | Explore the City of Angels, Los Angeles
The place where you see Los Angeles the most is probably in American TV series. Finally, I had the chance to drive along Highway 1 and see the real-life scenes from the TV.
The most unforgettable thing about Los Angeles, besides the purple beach of Santa Monica, is the high parking fees! $40/hour, I guess I won't have the chance to park in a more expensive parking lot in my lifetime.
✅ Attractions Introduction:
Universal Studios - A collection of roller coasters, highly recommend the Harry Potter themed area, the level of detail is just too high!
Griffith Observatory - The sun sets around 19:00-20:00, you can see the purple-pink sky and the golden observatory;
Desert Hills Premium Outlets - It is said to have 180 brands, including Fendi, Burberry, BV, but no LV or Gucci. It's good for buying American local brands, and out-of-season Coach items are really cheap!
Beverly Hills - The name itself sounds high-end, a collection of various brands, don't miss it if you want to shop!
Santa Monica Beach - Next to the Pacific Ocean! The best time for photos is in the evening when you can capture the pink sky. ⚠️ The parking meters on the roadside charge $2.5/hour, and you have to buy at least 3 hours!
Angels Flight - The famous scene in LALA LAND where the male and female leads kiss is on Angels Flight. This short 1KM railway is built on a slope and witnessed the brief but beautiful love between Mia and Sebastian;
Grand Central Market - Foreign markets always have a kind of allure, just like the market in Barcelona redefined my understanding of markets. Most stores in LA start their business day at 10 AM;
Staples Center - The timing wasn't right, it wasn't NBA season, so I couldn't get into the arena. Even though I'm not a basketball fan, I still hope to watch a game of the world-famous NBA;
✅ Car Rental and Usage:
⭕️ After exiting Los Angeles International Airport, follow the signs to the designated area to wait for your car rental company's shuttle bus;
⭕️ The shuttle bus will take you to the car rental hall, which is not far, about a 5-10 minute drive;
⭕️ Register yourself at the self-service kiosk to complete the car rental process, then go out and pick up the car;
⭕️ The actual car you get may be different from the model you booked (I booked a Corolla but got a Nissan), but it will be a vehicle of the same class;
⭕️ The car comes with a navigation system, but to be safe, it's better to use your phone's navigation to the hotel;
⭕️ The hotel only offers paid parking services, $36 per day (excluding tax), unlike in China where hotel parking is usually free;
⭕️ In the US, you can refuel at the machine with a chip-enabled credit card or go inside to the counter, tell the clerk the pump number, the fuel grade, and the amount, then go out and refuel yourself;
⭕️ At intersections in the US, if there is a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop and make sure there are no people before proceeding;
⭕️ If you encounter a school bus unloading or an ambulance, you must pull over and stop;
⭕️ ⚠️ Be sure to have sunglasses ready, the UV rays in LA are very strong, and the afternoon sun can easily make you feel tired;

Where the Light Shines at LACMA 💡
The Urban Light Sculpture is an iconic (and free) installation located at the entrance of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
Stepping into the courtyard, I was greeted by a symphony of vintage street lamps standing tall against the night sky. Created by artist Chris Burden, 202 vintage street lamps were sourced from various locations around Southern California to create this installation. Despite the lampposts ranging in style and design from different eras, their arrangement in a grid formation created a visually striking and symmetrical display.
Each lamp seemed to whisper stories of the past, evoking nostalgia and wonder. Walking amidst them felt like strolling through a forest of illuminated memories, each lamp casting intricate shadows and patterns on the ground. The meticulous arrangement of the lamps created a mesmerizing visual spectacle.
I found the Urban Light sculpture to be a vibrant experience, offering a unique blend of art, history, and urban charm.

Finding my favourite Stars in LA 🎬🎶
To me, visiting the Hollywood Walk of Fame was a tribute to the icons of the entertainment industry. I got here via the LA Metro Red Line (Line B) and got off at the Hollywood/ Highland station, which have exits conveniently located along the walk of fame.
Walking along the star-studded sidewalk felt like stepping into the history of entertainment, with icons from Walt Disney to Michael Jackson immortalized beneath my feet.
I challenged myself to see how many of these icons I could recognise and to be honest, I didn’t recognise most of them 😂 I did find Jackie Chan’s plaque and made sure to take a photo with it as he was my favourite movie action star growing up.

To me, Hong Kong is a city that has so much to offer - culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit the Instagram spot of Sai Wan Swimming Shed, stop at a cafe at Sheung Wan to savour a cup of latte, climb to the roof of Hong Kong at the ICC Sky 100 Observation Deck and...so much more!
Griffith Observatory for NON-GEEKS
If you are not a fan of museums like me, there is still a reason to visit Griffith Observatory - the fantastic view of LA.
I took LA DOT’s FREE (YES IT IS FOC) DASH Observatory/ Los Feliz bus to Griffith Observatory, and it dropped us off right at the entrance. The bus ride was fun, and we got to see some cool sights along the way.
Once we arrived, we climbed up a little hill to reach the observatory, and the view was amazing! We could see all of Los Angeles spread out below us like a giant puzzle. The tall buildings downtown, the Hollywood sign in the distance, and rolling hills of Griffith Park. We spent hours just staring at the view and taking pictures. Inside the observatory, we learned all about space and stars, but nothing beats the view from outside.

Iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame, LA 🇺🇸
#winhkflight
📍Hollywood Walk of Fame
Hollywood Boulevard, Vine Street, Los Angeles, CA 90028, United States
Visited this iconic spot in Hollywood for the second time and it was still as amazing and cool! Honouring achievements in music, television, films, this walk of fame is an iconic sidewalk celebrating fame and recognition. There are a lot of artist’s name on the stars tiles on the pedestrian. It was like a scavenger hunt looking for our favourite artist’s name, and it was kind of fun and exciting. The main area to check out would be the street near the TCL Chinese Theatre. The crowds were kind of huge when we visited on a weekend morning. There are plenty of parkings on the streets, and the rate wasn’t too bad as compared to the garage parkings. There are also a lot of restaurants and eateries on the walk, could easily spend half a day here! Would recommend!
I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!
Walt Disney Concert Hall
#losangeles
Amazing building with interesting architecture, a great terrace garden, and a nice program of shows throughout the year.
Plenty of facilities and signage inside, clearly designed to work with the amount of people it holds for a show, and plenty of staff that are friendly, helpful, and professional.
Frank Gehry's masterpiece. Extraordinary outside and inside. Fabulous architecture but wonderful acoustics and sumptuous materials used. The LA Phil is a world class orchestra.

One of the coolest attractions in the world!
A must-experience in this lifetime, the otherworldly feeling—Valley of Fire in the United States!
😜Speaking of places you must visit in this lifetime, the Valley of Fire in the United States is definitely on this list! This hottest place in the world, with its magical charm, is bursting with energy!
💃The Valley of Fire, Valley of Fire State Park is located 90 kilometers northeast of Las Vegas, USA, commonly known as the Valley of Fire. Established in 1935, it covers an area of 14,120 hectares and is the oldest national park in Nevada. It is called the Valley of Fire because the large area of Mesozoic red sandstone exposed on the surface of the valley refracts a fiery red color under the sun, and it looks like a burning valley from a distance.
😝Because of its full otherworldly feeling, it has also become the filming location for many Hollywood sci-fi films, such as 'Star Trek VII: The Final Frontier', and 'Transformers', etc.
The entrance fee is 10 dollars per car, the administrator gives a park map, the main attractions are marked on the map, friends who are going to play must prepare enough dry food and water, and it is recommended to use the 'TanTu Offline Map', the park network signal is poor, it is still more reliable to use the offline map!
📍Attraction name: The Valley of Fire
📍Ticket price: 10 dollars/car
Guinness World Records Museum 🧩✨
The collection is amazing and so much fun to go through. They also have some interactive sections, like the musical staircase, mirrors, upside down room etc.
The museum shows lots of different records from the Guinness Book of World Records. Most of them are portrayed so one can have some imagination of how bizarre some of the records really are.
Besides that, games can be played so that visitors can challenge some of the world records. That makes it a great family experience as well! Prices were reasonable and kids get a discounts. Recommended

El Pueblo de LA Historical Monument 🏤✨
El pueblo is a historic park that documents that beginning and growth of Los Angeles. I recently had the pleasure of visiting El Pueblo de Los Angeles historical site, and it was truly an exciting and enjoyable experience. As I ventured back through time, walking among the historical sites, I found myself completely captivated by the breathtaking atmosphere that surrounded me. 🥰
It’s a slice of old Mexico in downtown LA. Always full of affordable shopping, happy hour specials, casual Mexican fare, a dash of history, and on occasion. 👀
One of the most remarkable aspects of this historical site was the opportunity to learn about the rich history of the first Mexican settlements in Los Angeles, California.
I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this remarkable historical site. It will transport you to a different time and leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich tapestry of our collective past. 🫶🏻✨

Art Deco Vibes In Los Angeles
Miracle Mile is a historical district in Los Angeles filled with art deco buidlings, museums and interesting landmarks. The area thrived in the 1930’s when a local developer created lots of new features to try and rival downtown, he catered more to automobile traffic over pedestrians and this helped the area grow. He implimented a lot of firsts for America including drive in parking, timed traffic lights and parking lots for every shop. The speed of development in the area and the success of the new form of shopping district is where it got the title ‘miracle mile’ for it’s unprecedented development.
The area is one of the few areas in Los Angeles where you can walk between many big sites in the same area, for a car based city this is what drew me to it. I walked around the many art deco blocks to take in the architecture, then spent the afternoon hopping around the museums in museum mile.
You will find landmarks such as The Grove, La Brea tar pits, Peterson automotive museum, Los Angeles museum of art and the Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures.

Downtown Los Angeles, a pleasant surprise!
Downtown Los Angeles has had a bad reputation for many years for abandoned buildings, crime and a homeless problem - however I was pleasantly surprised when I visited. The area has seen lots of development with much of the historic architecture restored, big shops have opened and various food markets and street food spots have popped up. With most visitors preferring to visit the beach side locations the city is more famous for downtown has become quite overlooked.
I found lots of bars and restaurants with very interesting menus, seating areas and rooftop bars - some with fantastic views that show you the clash of old and new around you. There are book shops, cafes and ice cream parlors that have some very instagrammable spots.
Downtown is within walking distance of LA Live entertainment district, Chinatown, little Tokyo and the famous angel’s flight funicular railway. There is plenty of parking and it’s a nice place to spend the day exploring, getting a different experience compared to beach side Malibu & Santa Monica.
