Chapter Twenty-Four: Playing (I)

I woke up very early today, and I was very excited to know that I was going to visit San Francisco today. I cleaned up early, and I was dressed up beautifully. Standing on the balcony and looking out the window, everyone is refreshed, isn't it time to say hello to people outside and say good morning.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, indicating that it was the mother.

"Hey, Mom."

"You still know that there is a mother like me!" Said angrily.

"Mom, don't be angry yet, I can't help it." Reassured.

"Say, why did you break off the marriage contract with Qiu Chen, what he did there badly, you can tell me."

"Mom, don't be angry just yet. Grandpa Xia knows about this matter, you can call Grandpa Xia. I can't say anything more about him on my side. Explained.

"Okay, I'll call your grandfather Xia, and I'll call you later."

After hanging up the phone, I heard someone knocking on the door, it was Yunfan knocking on the door.

"Did you sleep well last night? Why do you wake up so early?" Said when he saw that it had been sorted out.

"Had a really good night's sleep, fell asleep in one trip. Didn't you promise me to go out today? So of course I'm going to clean up ahead of time, and I don't want to hold you back. Said with a smile.

"I heard you talking in the room just now, is there anyone in the room?"

"Oh, it was my mom who called me. She asked me if I had been to San Francisco, if I had eaten well, if I had slept well, and if I had any problems with the water and soil. Explained.

"Auntie is concerned about you, don't be impatient." Touching my head, he said.

"My mother asked one more question, said hello to you, and asked you to take care of her daughter."

"Auntie is too polite, I should do this." Said with a smile.

"Did the two of them get up? Let's go to breakfast together! How's the tour arrangement while eating?" Look at the room of those two people.

"It's already up, let's go get them together!" Nodding his head.

"Okay, wait until I grab my bag and go." Go back to the house and get the bag I had prepared.

Walked to the entrance of the room for two people and knocked on the door.

"Sister Ting, we have already packed up and are waiting for your arrangement." Teruko said when she saw me.

"Let's go to breakfast together, these days are play, you don't need to be my bodyguard, you can play freely for a few days." Said with his arms around him.

"Okay, then we'll have a good time." Nodding his head.

"Yizi, are you okay, everyone is waiting for you! Of the four of us, you're the slowest, like a snail. How about giving you the nickname Snail?" quipped.

"Sister Ting, I don't care if I think it's good! Call me anything. Said with a smile.

"Haha.... Snails, hurry up. If you don't hurry up for breakfast, you will be eaten by others. Said with a smile.

"Here, I've packed up." Walked up to me and said.

"Lock your doors, don't lose anything." A word of advice.

"Don't worry! We've all locked it, I don't know if Sister Ting has locked the doors and windows!"

"I'm more careful than you, and I've locked it up a long time ago. When we arrived at the restaurant, we talked about the location of today's visit in detail, and we must be happy today. He said.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, greeted each other politely on the road, and the distance between them was narrowed. I found a restaurant close to the hotel, and as soon as I entered the restaurant, I could see the menu. There are fresh milk, coffee, bagels, scrambled or boiled eggs, sausages, fried potato chips, pancakes, jelly, toast, muffins, orange juice and coffee

"What do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll buy it. "Find a good seat and say to us.

"A glass of milk, eggs and sausage!" Teruko said.

"I'm just like him." Yizi said.

"Tingting, what about you!" Said gently.

"A glass of milk, eggs, sausages and muffins." Said as he looked at the menu.

"Okay." After that, I went to buy breakfast.

"Sister Ting, let's play for a few days!" Teruko asked.

"I don't know, when I've had enough of playing and eating, I'll rest." Said helplessly.

"Breakfast is coming, I'm hungry! Hurry up and eat it!" Yun Fan came over with a plate and said.

"I didn't expect that there are so many kinds of breakfast here, and I don't have to worry about breakfast if I live here in the future." I said, looking at the breakfast in front of me.

"That's right! Not only does this one have a wide variety of breakfasts, but there are also several other restaurants that are the same. They can't eat it all the time, and they will develop new varieties for customers to taste every day. Yun Fan said in detail.

"Then if I live here, will I become a big fat man!" Said worriedly.

"No, Tingting is a person who won't get fat no matter how she eats, don't worry." He patted me lightly on the head and said.

"Let's eat first! After eating, how can I see where the first stop of the day is. Said anxiously.

Ten minutes after the meal, Yunfan told us about today's itinerary. The first stop is Union Square in San Francisco, the second stop is Golden Gate Park, the third stop is Golden Gate Bridge and Baker Beach, and the last stop is Twin Peaks, we can save a lot of time by car so that we can buy things in the car.

"Well, okay, let's go!" Nodding his head.

Union Square is a square in San Francisco, USA, covering an area of 2.6 acres, surrounded on all sides by Giary Avenue, Powell Street, Post Street, and City Dayton Street, occupying several blocks of central shopping, hotel, and theater districts. With one of the highest concentrations of department stores, high-end boutiques, travel accessories, art galleries and salons in and around the street-block plaza in and around the American West, this one-street plaza is one of San Francisco's main tourist attractions and a world-class shopping district.

Although it is small in size, it is as elegant as a park, the garden is lush with palms, yew and flowers, and often holds various activities such as art exhibitions and flea markets, as well as female beggars painted purple, green witches and orange elves to join in the fun, plus the famous shops around the square gather, people who are tired of shopping always go to the square to rest, so it is always crowded with people, full of romance and pleasant atmosphere.

Yun Fan also told me on the way that I had booked a restaurant in Union Square a week in advance, and I would play first and then go to eat.

At Bostrio, their Californian cuisine has its own characteristics, such as "Bay Prawn Tempura" with grilled shiitake mushrooms, chives fried rice and lemongrass-flavored cream, which is a mixture of Japanese, Vietnamese and European cuisines, and "Garlic Stir-fried Lamb" with fresh chili peppers and mint, which is a variation of the Chinese dish "Lamb with Green Onions". You may think that this "hodgepodge" is nondescript, but because each cuisine has its own strengths and weaknesses, "California cuisine" can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses to create the perfect combination, which is really valuable.

Union Square is also the most luxurious and expensive shopping area in San Francisco, where Tiffany, Cartier, Chanel and Gucci are all vying for fashion and jewelry, and the big department stores such as Macy's and Nimonmac are so full of treasures that you want to become millionaires in order to take them all for yourself.

As soon as I walked here, I was attracted by the environment in front of me, and it only took me 5 hours to buy several clothes and several pairs of shoes. Lunch was also unique and satisfying.

"Tired or not, why don't you do it and take a break." Said softly.

"I'm not tired, it's rare to be able to come out and play once. I don't want to waste such a great opportunity. He shook his head and said.

"Then I'll go and put my things in the car first, and you wait here for me to come back." He said as he looked at what he was doing.

"Well, go ahead!" Nodding his head.

Watching Keiko and Yizi having fun, he beckoned to them. They ran over and said, "Sister Ting, what's wrong?" Are you tired?"

"No, I want the three of us to take a photo and leave a souvenir to prove that we have been to San Francisco in the United States." He said as he took out his phone.

Keiko and Yizi nodded and took several group photos, and I chose several good photos to keep. Yun Fan also came back, and the two of them ran away to play again. He sat next to me and massaged my shoulders and took a sneak peek while he wasn't looking.

"Take a picture if you want! Don't be sneaky. "He found out.

"Who took pictures of you, I'm taking pictures, you're too narcissistic."

"If you have the ability, give me your phone, and I'll see if you're taking pictures of the scenery or secretly filming me." Reach out and ask for my phone.

"I don't give, I don't give." Hurry up and put your phone away.

When he saw me put my phone away, he squeaked at me, and for a moment they looked at each other. His nose was almost close, and he held me on the face and kissed me, and I was so frightened by his actions that I hurriedly ducked.

"I.... We.... Where to go next?" Stammered.

"Go.... Go to Golden Gate Park. He stammered.

"Then let's go!" I looked at the time on my watch.

"Okay, let's go now." The flush on his face has not yet dissipated.

"Huizi, Yizi, let's go, let's go to the next stop." Said to them. When they heard me shouting, they hurried towards me and prepared to move on to the next stop.

After a two-hour drive, we finally arrived at Golden Gate Park. San Francisco's Golden Gate Park spans 1,017 acres and stretches more than three miles west from Starnian Street to Ocean Beach. Covering an area of 800 meters wide and about 4 kilometers long, the park spans 53 streets, making it the world's largest man-made park. In 1887, the city of San Francisco purchased more than 5,000 species of plants growing on the loess for decoration. The largest park in the United States, from the Pacific Ocean to downtown San Francisco, changes people's stereotype of "delicate and small" parks, and is exciting.

If you walk around the park by yourself, you may get lost, so do your homework before you come. Strictly speaking, Guangshuo's Golden Gate Park is composed of more than a dozen small parks with their own charms, some of which are famous for their garden landscaping; Some of them win with the beauty of the pond, the winding path that connects the districts is shuttled along the green bushes, it is not impossible to follow the map to visit the garden, but it is not impossible to relax so rigorously as a distraction, rather than relying on the map to recognize the way, it is better to let your emotions swim, getting lost may not be avoidable, but the surprise of "another village" will definitely make you fall in love with the fun of getting lost.

In addition to these, there are also thematic gardens: the Diyan Museum and the Asian Art Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, the Shakespeare Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Conservatory, the Botanical Garden, the Lake Stor, the Polo Field, the Buffalo Ranch, the Jade Fragrance Garden, and many more.

We took a lot of photos here and didn't have to stay long before heading to our next stop, the Golden Gate Bridge and Baker Beach.

Golden Gate Bridge ----English: Golden Gate Bridge, standing on the Golden Gate Strait in San Francisco, California, USA, is one of the world's famous bridges and a miracle of modern bridge engineering. The bridge is more than 1,900 meters long, took four years, used more than 100,000 tons of steel, cost 35.5 million US dollars, and was designed by bridge engineer Josef Strauss.

It connects Northern California to the north and the San Francisco Peninsula to the south. The first thing that catches your eye is the giant steel tower of the bridge. The steel towers stand on the north and south sides of the bridge and are 342 meters high, of which 227 meters above the water are divided, which is equivalent to a 70-story building. The top of the tower is connected by two steel cables with a diameter of 92.7 centimeters each and weighing 24,500 tons, the midpoint of the steel cable sags, almost close to the bridge body, and the steel cable is connected by thin steel ropes. The ends of the cable extend to the shore and anchor in the rock. The bridge body is suspended in mid-air by the huge tension generated by the two steel cables on both sides of the bridge. The span between the steel towers is 1,280 meters, which is one of the rare single-hole long-span large suspension bridges among the world's bridges. The height from the sea to the center of the bridge is about 60 meters, and it is wide and high, so even at high tide, large ships can move smoothly. Including the part extending from both ends of the steel tower, the total length is 2,737 meters, for which two auxiliary steel towers were built on both sides to make the bridge even more spectacular. The bridge deck is 27.4 meters wide and has 6 roadways and 2 wide walkways. The bronze statue is vivid and self-contained.

It was already afternoon when we arrived, and we were excited to drive on the bridge. Standing on Shell Beach to watch him, his orange appearance is particularly beautiful in the sunset.

Baker Beach is a public beach on the San Francisco Peninsula in California, United States. The beach is located on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, northwest of the city, about half a mile in length, starting at the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a public beach on the San Francisco Peninsula in California, United States. The beach is located on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, northwest of the city, about half a mile in length, starting at the Golden Gate Bridge. Here is the famous naturist beach. Despite being located on the southwest edge of the walled city, San Francisco's most popular beach is sandy and packed with people strolling, splashing and sunbathing on sunny weekends. In fact, Baker Beach has long been recognized as "the best place in the Bay Area for sunbathing."

Our last stop is the Twin Peaks, two hills about 270 meters above sea level and the only natural hill in San Francisco that is known for its 360-degree views. On a clear day, you'll get a bird's-eye view of San Francisco, and you'll find the Red Golden Gate Bridge next to San Francisco Bay. Walk southwest along Market Street from downtown San Francisco to see two hills facing north and south, known as Twin Peaks. The South Peak is 922 feet tall, the second highest point in San Francisco (Mount Davidson, located not far southwest of Twin Peaks, is the first tallest), and you can not only look down on the entire San Francisco city but also look down on the Pacific Ocean in the west, Oakland in the East Bay in the east, Mount Diablo (Devil's Mountain), the White Clock Tower of Berkeley University, and Mount Tamalpais in Marlin County in the north. and five bridges linking cities in the Bay Area. The north peak is 904 feet tall.

By the time I reached the top, it was already dark and I had a panoramic view of all of San Francisco. San Francisco is beautiful at night, and the Golden Gate Bridge is particularly conspicuously illuminated. Climbing the Twin Peaks is a hard job, but you have to wear a lot of clothing to withstand strong winds and cold fog to keep you from the cold.
