Birds are all around us, even in our dense urban city. In this workshop we'll discuss the importance of birds and their ecology and how we can make our cities safer for birds and other wildlife. We'll learn how to start identifying birds and become familiar with the most common San Francisco species found here in spring. We'll tour the garden and observe the birds living there, focusing on the plants and garden features that create healthy habitats.
NOTE:
 We encourage you to bring binoculars if possible. They will be provided if you don't have your own.

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

一數

Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. General tourists will not go to this attraction specially, because we are free to travel and can be more relaxed. The park environment design is unparalleled and worth checking in for sightseeing.

Lombard Street

Night view

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco.

Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road.

If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain.

Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver&#39;s license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.
