A young man who climbed high on the Chinese Rock and looked far away, looking very high-spirited, Zhang Feng couldn't help but take two more photos, and his heart was finally a little angry.

Next to it is the Bird Rock Hunt Course, which was famous for horse hunting and cross-country horse racing in the 1920s, and is now the coastal golf course of the Monterey Peninsula Country Club.

【Bird Rock】Going down from China Rock is one of the landmarks of 17 Mile Bay, Bird Rock.

The man holding the dog on the coast, they looked at the ocean together, and the tacit understanding made Zhang Feng a little amazed.

Bird Rock, as the name suggests, is full of this kind of bird, that kind of bird, this bird, that bird, that bird......

Don't forget to interact with the seabirds at Bird Rock. These birds are not afraid of people at all, they are robbing like hungry crazy, they are robbing?

After turning around a lot, Zhang Feng found a beautiful one.

Of course, Bird Rock is also indispensable to the presence of many cute rock squirrels (Rock Squirrel).

The ground squirrels of Bird Rock, burrowing in the crevices of the rocks. It's all over the street, looking for people to eat everywhere, it's shameless to eat, but it's cute and cute, and it's not annoying.

If you want to see seabirds, harbor seals and sea lions on Bird Rock, you can also take advantage of the coin-operated telescopes provided by the sea. The reef is teeming with seabirds, and there are many seabirds on the beach, and you can also watch a variety of coastal birds flying over the sea.

The next attraction is Cypress Point.

Cypress Point is also a major spot for sea otters along the 17-mile coast, especially in the spring, when sea otters flock to the shore. Nestled in the midst of lush cypress trees is Spy Glass Hill Golf Course, which is one of the 40 best golf courses in the United States.

The most famous attraction on the central coastline of California is Lone Cypress, which is located at Spot 16. Admire this 250-year-old tree on the reef and is also a must-see for sightseeing groups. The "Lone Cypress" tree is also a registered trademark, as long as the image of this lone cypress tree belongs to [17-mile Drive Management Company], unauthorized advertising or commercial use is prohibited.

There is no earth-shattering feat of the lonely cypress, and people come here from thousands of miles to admire its perseverance, green branches standing on the raised cliffs, as if staring at the other side of the ocean. Although it was almost knocked down by a strong sea breeze, the conservators carefully reinforced the supporting support with steel cables, so that the solitary tree that grew on the barren stone hill was preserved, and later visitors could continue to marvel at the Creator and nature's work.

When Zhang Feng went, it was just sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to make the reef cross a layer of golden light, setting off the lone cypress on the cliff wall more verdant and upright. The standing lone cypress is just like a strong warrior who is not afraid of wind and waves, as if he wants to stand up for eternity with the glory of this moment.

In Pescadero, the shoreline is colourful with lush succulent green vegetation and small pink flowers dotted around the sea rocks. Here, visitors can always find a good angle to admire Carmel Bay and Still Water Bay.

Ghost Tree is the last stop on today's 17-Mile Bay itinerary. In addition to the lone cypress, the ghost tree is also a famous landmark in 17 Mile Bay. The tangled tree trunks, like a natural labyrinth of nature, have become the signature landscape of Seventeen Mile Road, and it is also the favorite hunting lens of the calendar and postcards.

In the evening, as night fell, the sky gradually darkened, and the endless sea gradually changed from turquoise to deep blue, and then to a little inky blue, and the outline of the surrounding scenery began to blur and fade as twilight fell. Quietly enjoy the breeze from the Pacific Ocean in California, stand on the somewhat steep rocky shore, and take one last look at the stunning 17 Mile Bay at dusk. This glance must be so affectionate, because, for this beautiful coastline that fascinates Zhang Feng, at this moment, Zhang Feng is really reluctant to say goodbye ---.

Accommodation: Riverside Campground & Cabins

The occasional stay at the camp is also quite a good experience. Zhang Feng's suggestion is that you don't have to stay in a hotel every day on your California Highway 1 self-driving trip, but occasionally stay in a campsite, walk through the woods at night, listen to the murmuring of the stream, and look up at the stars in the sky.

Big Sur

Big Sur is derived from the Spanish word "el sur grande", which means Great Southern District. Big Sur is one of the only natural attractions in the West of the United States (the other being the Grand Canyon) selected by National Geographic magazine as one of the 50 Places of a Lifetime.

Big Sur in the broadest sense is a large area, stretching south of Carmel to San Simeon, the most shining stretch ★ of ★ the picturesque Route 1. This 90-mile stretch of winding coastline is mesmerizing with its pristine natural beauty and breathtaking views.

In the narrow sense, Big Sur can be regarded as an abbreviation of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, located on the central coast of California, in the Los Padres National Forest on the east side of Highway 1

Big Sur consists of four state parks: Point Lobos, Andre Molera, Pfeiffer Big Sur, and Julia Pfeiffer Burns.

--- Zhang Feng's trip today starts at the Point Robles State Reserve.

Point Lobos State Reserve

Cape Robles State Reserve, known as "The Cron Jeel of the State Park System," is known not only for its geological landscapes, but also for its flora and fauna. There are attractions such as Rocky Coast, Moss Cove, Bluefish Cove, Cypress Cove, Halers Cove, Sea Lion Rock, China Cove, and Weston Beach.

A small blue cabin is the "Visitor Information Center", and the staff standing on the side smile and take the initiative to provide visitors with information about the reserve and answer questions from tourists quite patiently, admiring her enthusiasm for her work.

The 550-acre Cape Robles State Preserve includes coastal features such as bays, headlands, meadows, tide pools, and the first underwater ecological reserve in the United States, covering 750 acres. The reserve also has diving, but in order to protect the ecosystem, there are certain restrictions on diving, so it is important to book in advance.

Then Zhang Feng came to the Rocky Coast.

Scenic spot [Rocky Coast] Both the shore and the shore of the water are full of craggy and strange rocks, looking abruptly like a beast about to move, Zhang Feng thought that if he was here at night, he would definitely have a feeling of fear.
