Chapter 388: This journey has touched me a lot!
The columns of the Roman temple in the middle are also directly imported from Europe, and the project is huge. The Poseidon Pool has been rebuilt three times before it becomes what Zhang Feng sees now.
【The Roman Pool】
In the entire Hearst Castle, the one that spent the most money to build was this [Roman Pool]. This is an indoor swimming pool, and the special thing is the 24-karat gold mosaic bricks, which are covered from ceiling to floor, with 24-karat gold melted inside, and the perimeter is blue, orange, or transparent (if you look gold). This Roman pool, made of Venetian glass and solid gold, is undoubtedly the place where Hirst spent the most money. Mediterranean blue tiles and gold borders, a pool of clear water, reflecting the Greek gods and dusk lampholders along the edge of the pool, the composition of symmetry up and down, left and right, as if there is heaven in the earth, and there is earth in the sky.
Hearst San Simeon State Park
Leaving Hearst Castle, Zhang Feng continued the day's itinerary to Hearst St. Simon State Park.
Due to time constraints, Zhang Feng only made a stop at the mouth of the San Simeon Creek in the state park.
Because the Saint-Simon River flows into the sea from here, it attracts many seabirds to drink and play in this freshwater area.
Hearst San Simeon State Park
Hearst St. Simon State Park is located between Cambria and St. Simon.
After a short stroll on the beach at the mouth of the San Simeon Creek, watching the waves fall and the birds fly and fly, Zhang Feng knew it was time for him to move on to his next leg of his journey, Morro Bay
Morro Bay is located in the south-central part of the California coastline, Morro Bay's topography is very unique, compared to the overall area of the bay, its northwest corner of the estuary appears very narrow, and the outer Pacific Ocean is connected to the Pacific Ocean like a natural breakwater to shield the sea from the wind and waves. Morro Bay is a natural harbor for fishing boats and yachts, as well as a paradise for water sports enthusiasts such as sampans and canoes.
The most distinctive feature of Morro Bay is the hemispherical Morro Rock located at the mouth of the sea, which was the work of the Portuguese seafaring explorer Cabrio (. Cabrillo) was named in 1542. "Morro", in Spanish, refers to a round hill. At 176 meters high, Morro Rock is an ancient extinct volcano. Morro Bay is also a sanctuary for migratory birds, and every winter is the peak season for migratory birds, and a large area of land on the east side has been incorporated into the state park and is strictly prohibited from development.
Someone walking hand in hand on the road of life is the most beautiful scenery, Zhang Feng is very envious of the figure of those two.
Keep going.
It was already dusk when Zhang Feng arrived at [Danish Village, Danish Village], and the shops in [Danish Village] mainly gathered in the southwest area of the intersection of MissionDr (246) and Alisal Rd, and parking was simple and free. At this time, most of the shops on the street have been closed, and there is no bustling tourists during the day, which adds a solemn and quiet beauty anyway.
【Solvang, Danish Village】
The famous resort town of "Danish Village" in Southern California, whose real name is "Solvan", means "Sunshine Farm" in Danish, and Sunny-Field in English, is located in [Santa Barbara County], about 30 miles northwest of [Santa Barbara City].
Eighty-five percent of the residents of Solvang are of Danish descent, and these immigrants still follow the food, customs and culture of their home countries, and the town is full of Danish flair. Every year on the third weekend of September, the town celebrates Danish Day, a lively celebration that attracts many tourists to the Danish Village.
【Solvang Breing Company Restaurant】
The town's famous restaurant serves a lot of delicious food, but the most famous is their home-brewed draft beer.
A free bicycle rental point in front of the hotel, Zhang Feng would like to try it, but the free is only rented to users of their hotel.
The Danish flag with a white cross on a red background is usually flown on the streets of Solvang
Solvan is truly famous for his Danish Village, and the buildings in the city make Zhang Feng feel like he has walked into the European countryside, completely forgetting that he is in California. According to the information on the Internet, this village was built in 1911 by a group of educators in order to inherit Danish culture, and the Nordic-style town buildings feel almost the same as the antique old houses in Denmark today, so that even tourists from Denmark are amazed, and since the fifties, it has become an important attraction in the West Bank, one of the most beautiful and characteristic towns.
Paula's Pancake House
There are many Danish bakeries in Danish villages and towns, and Paula's Pancake House on Mission Dr Road in the western section is relatively famous, and the store's signature - fragrant Danish-Pancake is a unique Danish delicacy.
The common language spoken in the small town of Solvan is Danish, and the townspeople cherish Danish traditions and customs. The town's architecture is Danish, with a red tone, and the streets are small but orderly, with two-storey wooden houses on the side of the road either angular or spired. The various styles of house structures, together with the flowers and trees planted in front of the house, create a colorful and charming landscape.
Since the fifties, Solvan has been an important attraction in the West Bank and is one of the most distinctive towns, although I knew that Solvan was a Danish village before I came, and it was very surprising to see the architecture here. The area is quite large for walking and shopping, with Nordic buildings with windmills, unique shops and restaurants, making visitors feel like they have entered a fairy tale country. Due to the restrictions of urban regulations, there is no invasion of chain store culture here, and it can be said that it is a rare forbidden place for American popular culture that is rampant today.
After Zhang Feng finished visiting the Danish village of Solvan, it was about 8 o'clock in the evening, and he was ready to leave for the next stop of this California road trip [Los Angeles]. At this point, Zhang Feng's California Road 1 journey has basically ended successfully, although it is a little urgent, but more is inseparable, just because of the extraordinary beauty along the way.
From 17 Mile Bay, to Big Sur, to San Simeon, whether it is a natural landscape or a cultural town, the beauty presented by California Highway 1 is always so dazzling but unconventional. The soft and gentle beach, the gentle and sometimes magnificent waves, the rocks that have stood for thousands of years but are still majestic, the graceful waterfall like falling jade, and this Danish town as quiet and beautiful as a cardamom girl......
Although he was so reluctant to say goodbye, this scene of scenery was like a beautiful painting that had been deeply hidden in Zhang Feng's mind...... One of the most beautiful scenery on the Pacific coast --- California Highway 1, you are a fairy with colorful wings that has fallen into the mortal world......"
