City Cultural Park, Balboa Park, San Diego, USA.

According to the travel plan, we visited Balboa Park in San Diego. Using the Google Maps app was as convenient. We took a bus from the hotel and arrived quickly on foot. On weekends, there were many tourists in the park. San Diego is a city of many ethnic groups, and most of the people in the park were with children, lovers, or friends. The park is very large and faces the sea, with beautiful scenery. There are many characteristic small parks in the park, and many Spanish-style old buildings can be seen. According to the introduction, they are the legacy of the World Expo in the early 20th century. There are tall palm trees on the street, many cactus plants, some of which are several meters high, and some grow close to the ground, blooming with beautiful small flowers. Children fly kites by the sea, an old artist stacks pebbles incredibly steadily, attracting applause. A painter draws portraits for tourists. The craft shops display paintings and souvenirs, and Balboa Park is full of artistic atmosphere. There are many restaurants and bars in the park. Along the small streets, the fragrance of food such as steak, corn tortillas, and Chinese fried spring rolls occasionally wafts from restaurants and food stalls. After wandering around for half a day, we ate Mexican burritos in the sunset and enjoyed the sea breeze. In Balboa Park, there are several museums that require tickets. There are also paid electric cars and human-powered tricycles for sightseeing in the park.

Balboa Park

When you come to a city, of course you have to visit its parks, and San Diego, California is no exception. Balboa Park, located in the northern part of downtown San Diego, was built in 1910 and is known as "America's largest urban cultural park," rivaling New York's Central Park. The park has 15 museums with themes ranging from human history to photography to art, as well as the famous San Diego Zoo. In addition to the museums, the park also has several gardens with different styles, such as the Rose Garden, Tropical Plant Greenhouse, Desert Park, Cactus Garden, and Palm Valley, all of which will surprise you with their discoveries.
