[Hollywood in America] 🇺🇸 Hollywood cityscape seen up close in midsummer 👀

When you visit Hollywood, you will feel the weight of its glamour and history all at once. As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard, the glittering Walk of Fame catches your eye. The names engraved on the star-shaped plates are those of legends in the film and music worlds. Looking around, it was impressive to see tourists taking photos and enjoying searching for the names of the stars. Then, wanting to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood sign, I went to Griffith Observatory. From the observatory, you can see the Hollywood sign standing on a hill in the distance, along with the expansive view of Los Angeles. When you visit at dusk, the sky is dyed pink and orange, and the sight of the sign forming a silhouette in the background is a beauty that cannot be expressed in words. **Useful information** Here are some tourist spots and information for your next visit. 1. **Hollywood Walk of Fame** - **Address**: Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 - **Recommended points**: Walking along the plaques engraved with the names of movie, music, and TV stars feels like a journey through entertainment history.
