The San Francisco Art Palace was originally built in 1915, originally built for the Panama "Pacific World Expo", which attracted 18 million tourists at the time, but was abandoned after the meeting, and it was not until 1962 that the famous German architect Meibeck was asked to design and renovate. He specializes in detail decoration. This is the art palace, a finely carved building with antique Roman ruins designed by Maybeck, an architect born in New York City and living in Berkeley. The design of the Art Palace is mainly to show the world a visual spectacular beauty, the Art Palace was the last construction of the Expo, built on December 8, 1913. The Art Palace is mainly a domed hall with arches and stone pillars.

    The San Francisco Palace of Art is a monumental building originally built for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Expo to display artwork. It is the only structure that survived the Expo. The most prominent building in the Palace of Art is a 49-metre-high open rotunda, surrounded by a lagoon on one side and adjacent to a large arced exhibition center, separated by a colonnade from the lagoon, which is very distinctive.

    San Francisco not only has the Golden Gate Bridge cut throat island, but also has a cultural heritage. We went to the San Francisco Cultural Palace, which has many Western oil paintings, and the cultural heritage of the ancient Indians, so that we can see a civilization on the other side of the earth, and have a long experience.

    The Art Palace (Palace of Fine Arts) is a must-visit attraction in San Francisco's port area. It was built in 1915 as the venue for the exhibition of artworks at the World's Fair. It was later rebuilt in 1965 to rebuild artificial lakes and walkways and strengthen the earthquake resistance of the building, and it was not completed until 2009. This is a popular spot in San Francisco, where newlyweds often take wedding photos and hold weddings.

    The exterior view of San Francisco's art-empty space is still very good, with lakes and surrounding gardens.
