Monte Carlo is in New York North of New York, opposite MGM, in the five-star hotel on Long Street, this is not first-class, but because it was booked very early, it is a Long Street view room, more than 600 yuan a night, and the cost performance is still very high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info What's inconvenient is that the underground parking lot is a bit far from the lobby and you have to walk through the long casino to take the elevator upstairs.

D arranges not much time in the city, mainly for transportation and supplies, by the way to see the representative attractions, next time I have the opportunity to come back to experience in detail. Today, I am going to fly to San Francisco, and I will not stay for long, because it is the starting point of Highway 1, and I will go to the landmark Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf and so on.

The distance from Las Vegas to San Francisco is not far, about 1,000 kilometers, and many tourists choose to go by car, but out of time and physical considerations, Xueluo and Yanzhitian and Tangtang still choose to fly, because both places are big cities, and the distance is close, and there are many direct flights, which only takes 1 and a half hours.

Southwest Airlines, the originator of low-cost airlines in the civil aviation industry and the second-largest airline in the United States, only operates short- and medium-haul point-to-point routes, with no long-haul flights, let alone international flights. The time is short and the shifts are intensive. Due to cost considerations, it does not cooperate with other online platforms, so you can only buy tickets on its official website.

Indeed, the price of ¥248 including tax is indeed much more attractive than other airlines. Southwest Airlines' operating model is interesting, and it shows the shrewd operation of this profitable airline for many years. First of all, all of its flights do not offer seat selection, whether online check-in or airport check-in, there is no fixed seat number on the boarding pass.

Instead, the boarding sequence is divided according to the time of check-in, from A to C, 60 numbers each for A and B, and about 30 numbers for C (Southwest Airlines is all one type of aircraft, Boeing 737), which greatly saves the time cost and labor cost consumed in check-in seat selection.

There are two services in the Southwest: OnlineCheckin, which checks in 24 hours in advance at no additional cost, and EarlyBirdCheck-In, which allows passengers to check in 36 hours in advance for an additional $12.5 fee. In most cases, paying passengers have the opportunity to receive a boarding pass with a serial number of "A" and be entitled to priority boarding.

Xueluo, Yanzhitian, and Tangtang were checked in online on the official website of Southwest Airlines the night before, and they were assigned to the boarding order of B-14. Southwest isn't just competitively priced.

It also provides 2 pieces of 23KG luggage per person for free (other companies basically cost $25 a piece) and 1 piece of 5KG hand luggage, but unfortunately it does not have flights to those small cities around Yellowstone, and the previous two domestic flights were $25 per piece of checked luggage. In order to save labor costs, Southwest Airlines is fully self-service checkin.

Boarding passes and baggage check-in at the airport are handled by the passenger. There will be many self-service machines in front of its check-in counter, after check-in, after the boarding pass, select the number of pieces of baggage to be checked, and the machine will print out the baggage tag, which needs to be wrapped and attached to the baggage, and then placed on the conveyor belt for check-in.

Don't worry though, there will be a staff member or two around to help. Southwest Airlines' refund model is also different, if you need a refund, you can directly submit a request on the official website at any time, and the ticket will be fully refunded to the account of Southwest Airlines, which can be used to book a ticket and deduct the ticket price for the same passenger within one year.

San Francisco landing, Southwest Airlines is in the T1 terminal, ready to pick up the car, similarly, the car rental center at San Francisco Airport is not in the airport, you need to take the airport's AirTrainBlueLine (similar to urban rail, not a bus) to the car rental center, note that it is the blue line, the red line only runs between the terminals.

When I arrived at the car rental center, I booked a 7-seater MPV from ALAMO through Ctrip, and the price for 7 days was ¥2164, or ¥309 per day, including tax and full insurance. The staff at the counter was an Asian uncle who couldn't speak Chinese, and chatted with Xueluo and Yan Zhitian and Sugar Sugar for a long time.

The car mentioned in Las Vegas before is the Dodge's Grand Caravan, which is much less comfortable than the Kia Carnival rented by Billings at the first stop, especially the seats, which are relatively stiff and tiring for long drives, and the displacement of 3.5L is also relatively fuel-intensive. Because of the long lease period in San Francisco, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, it has to be accompanied by snow falling and swallow sweetness and sugar sugar for 7 days.

By the end of the whole trip, so I specially asked people what 7-seat MPV to choose from, and the result was only Dodge's GrandCaravan, he suggested that Xueluo and Yan Zhitian, sugar sugar plus $177 upgrade to luxury MPV, Toyota's Senna, space, comfort, and power are much stronger than GrandCaravan.

And three people only paid more than 1,000 yuan on 7 days, which is still very cost-effective, so they swiped the card to change the car, and they were very satisfied with the actual car, the first two rows are comfortable sofa seats, and the third row can be completely flat. The key is also in the car, and the staff will scan the barcode in the car when leaving the parking lot.

Although the procedure is simple, it is still necessary to keep the ticket given when you pick up the car. P.S.: Actually, in the end, I was very glad that I spent money to change the car at that time, because Xueluo, Yan Zhitian, and Tangtang changed from 4 28-inch suitcases to 8 28-inch suitcases, while Senna's trunk was relatively high, and the 28-inch suitcase could be placed vertically.

The 8 suitcases and camera equipment can be easily packed without affecting the seating space, and without it, it would have taken a lot of time to put away your luggage every day. San Francisco only has one day to visit those iconic attractions, which are mainly for pick-up and Highway 1 pick-up.

In addition to Stanford University's PaloAlto in the south of the city (about 30 kilometers from the airport, just in the morning), other attractions: Lombard Street, Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Palace of Fine Arts, and Union Square are all in the northern part of the San Francisco Peninsula, which is very close, so the routes can be arranged together, watch the sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge in the evening, and stroll around Fisherman's Wharf at night.

Taste San Francisco's signature seafood and sourdough bread. First stop: Stanford University. Take a quick walk south from the airport and you'll soon reach this prestigious university in the United States in Palo Alto. The full name is Stanford University Jr., or Stanford University, which is often referred to as Stanford University.

Located in Stanford, California, USA, it is a world-renowned private research university. Located in Palo Alto, California, adjacent to San Francisco, the campus covers an area of 35 square kilometers, making it the second-largest university in the United States by area and one of the most important academic centers in the United States along with Harvard University.

According to Forbes magazine in 2010, Stanford University ranked second, with 28 billionaires, second only to Harvard University, one of the top ten universities with the most Nobel Prize winners.

In addition to the large area of Stanford University, you need to drive to visit, another feature is that it has no obvious courtyard walls and gates, according to the navigation guide, when you find that the surrounding buildings have become Spanish architectural style, yellow bricks and red tiles, you will know that Stanford has arrived, and it is as elegant and beautiful as the legend.

Outside the gate of the famous memorial hall is a large circular garden, surrounded by a circular parking lot where outside vehicles can be parked free of charge. Behind the memorial is the Stanford Memorial Church, one of the most beautiful churches in the United States, built by Mrs. Stanford in memory of Mr. Stanford.

A memorial service for Apple founder Steve Jobs was held here. When you arrive in a big city like San Francisco, where Chinese gather, it is easy to find delicious Chinese food, this ChefChu Restaurant in San Antonio Rd, Chinese name Xifuju, is a more famous local Chinese restaurant, some friends may laugh: "I went all the way to the United States to eat Chinese food!"

Hehe, Xueluo thinks that only by staying a few days can she experience the charm of Chinese food, unless there is a special preference for bread and salad. After eating, I usually went to Walmart to buy supplies for the next 7 days, and there was one near Stanford, and it was a cart of fruits, drinks, snacks, and fast food. There are two gains this time: one is to buy the kind of green pineapple, the kind that does not need to be blistered in salt water and has no hard heart, and domestic supermarkets generally cost more than 10 yuan a catty.

This Walmart is $1 for 1, I bought a few, and the taste is amazing. The second is to buy an incubator from the American outdoor brand Coleman, 50L, which can keep it cold for 5 days, with tie rods and wheels. As mentioned earlier, the large supermarkets in the United States have a wide variety of products, like a department store, especially outdoor goods: sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, tents, fishing tackle, ovens.

Only what you can't think of. I bought this brand of canopy before, the domestic shopping mall is ¥2500, and I have been paying attention to Coleman's things, like Xueluo and Yanzhi Tian, sugar candy bought this kind of incubator, the mall is more than ¥1000, here Walmart is $32, like a sleeping bag or something is one-third of the domestic price.

Don't hesitate to buy one, you can use it for fishing and outdoor barbecue, Walmart is very caring, you can buy boxes of different sizes, and you can pack them with tape and send them back to China. On the way back from Stanford, San Francisco North Regional Map San Francisco is not a small city, but it is not a small name. The 7-square-mile city is located on a peninsula on the Pacific coast.

Its unrivalled urban and natural landscapes are known all over the world. San Francisco is home to rolling hillsides, streetcars, and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco faces the sea on three sides, the terrain is ups and downs, the temperature from the city to the sea is getting lower and lower, and the temperature difference between day and night is even more unreasonable.

Due to its proximity to the sea and the Kinmen Strait, it is often affected by fog in the second half of the night and in the morning, and you can often see the scene of "fog filling Kinmen". Its downtown area is typically hilly, with many streets going straight up and down. San Francisco is not a typical modern American city, rich in skyscrapers and reinforced concrete.

Unlike many fast-growing cities with new and similar new residential areas, San Francisco's houses are characteristic. Most of them are very old, with a variety of postures, bright and swaggering, and they rise and fall along the ramp. Although many people now choose to paint their homes in relatively conservative colors for the sake of good selling, more persistent San Franciscans still stick to the tradition and paint more and more vividly.

Downtown San Francisco is connected to the surrounding towns by bridges, and the colorful hills of low-rise buildings are built on a hill of 42 hills, many of which are quite steep. The most distinctive spot is the "Lombard Street", and the steepest part of the curve is said to be more than 20 degrees. Second stop: Lombard StreetThe official name of Lombard Street is Lombard Street.

It is the most curvy street in the world. In order to prevent traffic accidents, the city government built flower beds that could only circle down at speeds of no more than 5 miles per hour, but today Lombardy is one of San Francisco's most attractive streets. There are eight sharp turns in a short block between Hyde and Leavenworth streets.

With a 40-degree slope and a zigzag road, the car can only go down. You can come here to test your driving skills or take a leisurely stroll around it. The flower beds on both sides of the driveway are full of roses, and every household on both sides of the street is also raising flowers and planting grass at the door.

The destination is a side street at the exit of Lombard Street, you can look up and see the panoramic view of the whole street, you can park for a short time on both sides of this street, but the location is limited, and it is not easy to park around. Today's weather is average, and the season may not be too right, and the flowers are not all in full bloom, so I didn't walk up the pedestrian paths (steps) on both sides of Flower Street to visit.

The Golden Gate Bridge certainly needs no introduction, it is one of the largest single-hole suspension bridges in the world and is considered a symbol of San Francisco. The bridge has 6 lanes in one direction and has an average daily traffic of 100,000 vehicles. Free from south to north, $6 from north to south (electronic charge, which is not charged by the car rental company after the car is returned).

There are different opinions about the best viewing point of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the observation deck on Eagle Mountain on the north side of the bridge is recommended for snowfall, which can see the whole picture of the Golden Gate Bridge in three dimensions, look at the whole San Francisco across the bay, and you can also take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge with the city as the background.

Drive north across the Golden Gate Bridge from the peninsula where downtown San Francisco is located, then take the second exit and make a U-turn, you can follow the uphill road to Hawk Hill, and drive up the winding mountain road. Parking on the hill is tight and there is really no place to park on the side of the road out of the way.
