CA-1
CA-1 is a highly iconic coastal self-drive route on the West Coast of the United States, stretching over 1,000 km along the Pacific coastline and connecting coastal towns from the San Francisco Bay Area, Monterey, Big Sur, San Simeon, and Morro Bay all the way to Los Angeles. Its highlight is concentrated in the Big Sur section between Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and San Simeon: the road winds along steep cliffs, with the surging Pacific Ocean on one side and mountains and redwood forests on the other. There are many scenic parking areas along the way where you can pull over at any time to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the waves crash against the cliffs. There are several highly recognizable scenes along this section: the Bixby Bridge, which spans the canyon, is an elegantly designed concrete arch bridge, and there are almost always vehicles parked at the bridgehead for photos; McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park drops directly from the cliff top onto the beach in the cove, making it a rare beach waterfall in California; the sand at Pfeiffer Beach has a faint purple hue due to the weathering of manganese garnet in the cliffs; further south in the San Simeon area, groups of northern elephant seals can be seen sunbathing on the beach year-round, and you can also visit Hearst Castle on the mountain nearby. The Old Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey at the northern end and the town of Carmel-By-The-Sea also have their own unique charm.United States · Monterey County

What travellers say about Fresno County

Fisherman's Wharf was bustling and a bit chaotic. Sea lions lay sprawled on wooden planks, howling, their fishy smell wafting from afar. Bowls of clam chowder were piping hot, served while street performers sipped. Crab stalls lined the streets, piles of red shells high; you'd crack open a claw and pop a crab into your mouth, your fingers smeared with butter. A rickshaw clanged past, tourists craning their necks to watch—nothing particularly special, just a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere.

虽然整体面积不算很大，但风景如画很有看头。整体是古罗马废墟风格，为万国博览会所建，后期改造使用延续至今，除了罗马式建筑，罗马柱可看，还可有一处喷泉池，很多很美的花花和绿植，世界各地的游客面孔。适合拍照打卡，随处都是景

Highway 1 in California, USA, connects San Francisco and Los Angeles from north to south. It winds along the west coast of the United States from San Diego in the south to Leggett in the northernmost part of California where it joins Highway 101. It is over 1,000 kilometers long. On one side is the vast sea and sky, the waves crashing against the shore, the sailboats, and the gray whales swimming; on the other side are steep cliffs and mountains, lush pastures, herds of cattle and horses, and the scenery is breathtaking. This road is known as the most beautiful road in the world and was also rated as one of the 50 places you must visit in your life by the National Geographic magazine of the United States.

The campus is open and has no walls. There is a large lawn in the middle that is sunken and below the ground. There are parking spaces around it. It is very comfortable to lie on the grass. There are many attractions on the entire campus, and this is just one of them.

The Twin Towers are Xiamen's landmark buildings, facing the Gulangyu Island Scenic Area. Nearby are all luxury houses, which belong to the rich and the noble. It is so comfortable to sit on the Twin Towers, drink afternoon tea and enjoy the autumn sunshine.

A must see in San Francisco. You will see many Chinese faces here and most of them speak Cantonese. The culture here is similar to Hong Kong.
