▲ On Alcatraz Island, you'll see many dilapidated houses and stone walls, including an abandoned watchtower that once served as one of the earliest lighthouses on the U.S. West Coast. 1. Tracing cinematic footprints Alcatraz Prison once housed many notorious felons, inspiring numerous films based on real inmates. The "magical prison Azkaban" in the Harry Potter series drew design inspiration from Alcatraz, and the acclaimed movie "The Rock" was filmed here. 2. Visiting Alcatraz Prison Located at the center of Alcatraz Island, the prison stands as the island's primary and most famous structure. Now completely decommissioned, the entire facility is open for visitors to explore.
▲ The tradition of celebrating the Lunar Chinese New Year is still preserved here. Every year at this time, Cantonese opera stages are set up on the streets, and shops begin selling various New Year goods, such as "Fu" characters and spring couplets. The streets are lined with roast meat shops, grocery stores, and layers of neon lights, while neighbors chat loudly about daily life, creating a warm and simple atmosphere. If you happen to be in San Francisco during the New Year, why not come here to experience it? You might just feel like you've been transported back to your hometown in a daze.
