The Symbol of Peace – The Kiss Statue in San Diego

The 'Kiss Statue' (Unconditional Surrender) standing at the port of San Diego, California, is a gigantic sculpture based on the famous photograph celebrating the end of World War II. The image of a sailor and a nurse embracing symbolizes the end of the war and the joy of peace, and the real-life presence of the statue is overwhelming. In the background, the retired battleship Midway adds to the emotional atmosphere, combined with the beautiful scenery of San Diego Bay. It is a popular photo spot for tourists and an impressive place where you can experience a moment in history. It is a must-visit spot when you are in San Diego.
