A long, red bridge stretches (伸展) out across the water. It crosses the Golden Gate. This is not the entrance to a sacred (神圣的) land, but it looks just as magical. The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. At night, the lights of the bridge create a breathtaking scene. Welcome to San Francisco, a city renowned (闻名的) for its steep hills, beautiful parks and an infamous island prison. With so many famous local landmarks, it’s no wonder that US singer Tony Bennett “left his heart” there. Last year, it ranked as Lonely Planet’s No 1 city to visit.
Even with many things to see and do there, the Golden Gate Bridge stands out. It is the symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, people thought it was impossible to build. San Francisco Bay is famously foggy (多雾的), with powerful winds and strong ocean currents (洋流). Despite these difficult conditions, the bridge opened after four years of construction. Many tourists walk across its 2-kilometer length. “The views are worth the climb,” one local resident wrote on social-media platform Instagram.
About one-third of the city’s population is made up of Asian people. The city’s Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. Two traditional Chinese holidays, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are the biggest events of the year on the city’s calendar.
If yellow cabs (出租车) symbolize New York’s transportation, then the cable car (缆车) is San Francisco’s equivalent. The first cable car entered public service in 1873, and the slow, noisy vehicle remains a beloved part of the city. Once, the cable car network was damaged by a serious earthquake. Luckily, it survived. Tourists love cable cars because they provide better views than the subway.
So if you’re looking for a city worth visiting, San Francisco might be the place for you. Just be careful not to leave your heart behind!
