San Francisco is quickly becoming one of the most visited cities in the U.S.“The City by the Bay” packs a lot of mustsee spots.
Bathe in the sun at Dolores Park
San Francisco is known for its fog but certain areas of the city receive a surprising amount of sunshine,especially in fall.If you catch the city on a sunny day,head to Dolores Park in the Mission.It can get a bit crowded on the weekends,but if you can push in on a piece of grass,buy a cup of ice cream from nearby BiRite Creamery and enjoy yourself.
See the Mission murals(壁画)
Although San Francisco has plenty of museums,you don't need to pay the entrance fee to enjoy some art.The Mission neighborhood has plenty of street art and murals that reflect the culture and history of the place.My personal favorite is the mural on the Women's Building.Don't miss it!
Visit HaightAshbury
Another important part of San Francisco's identity is its hippie(嬉皮士) culture.During the 1960s and 1970s,HaightAshbury was home to some famous singers.Now the neighborhood is full of hippie memories and street art honoring the anniversary of 1967's Summer of Love.
Eat Italian food at North Beach
Traditional Italian food may not be the first cuisine(菜肴)that comes to mind when thinking of San Francisco,but you may leave the city daydreaming about it.North Beach is the Italian neighborhood and you'll find plenty of delicious fresh Italian food to fill your stomach.
