With snowy peaks and rock formations spanning through eight countries, from France and Switzerland in the west to Austria and Slovenia in the east, the Alps have long captured the imagination of artists, being Europe’s largest mountain range. This focused exhibition highlights the different ways in which later 19th-century artists explored and depicted the Alps, particularly Giovanni Segantini’s monumental pastel Study for “La Vita” depicting the Alpine peaks that ringed his home in the Engadine Valley in Switzerland. Themes include the joys and difficulties of working outdoors and the connections between the land and its inhabitants. This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español.

Getty Center: The art temple on the top of a hill in Los Angeles is definitely worth a special visit!

Even if you are only slightly interested in art, the Getty Center is still a place that will make your trip worthwhile. It is far more than a museum, but more like a mountaintop cultural paradise that combines architectural wonders, top art collections and beautiful scenery.

Core highlights not to be missed
1. The building itself is a masterpiece of art: the pure white building complex designed by the master architect Richard Meier has simple and smooth lines and a modern feel. Take the iconic cable train slowly up the mountain, full of ritual, and the city scenery of Los Angeles gradually unfolds in front of you, and you are already intoxicated before entering the museum.
2. Hall-level art collection: *The core attraction! From the manuscripts of Renaissance masters, the shocking large paintings of Rubens in the Baroque period, to Van Gogh&#39;s vibrant &quot;Irises&quot; (the brushstrokes are breathtaking when seen up close), Monet&#39;s charming impressionist landscapes, Cezanne&#39;s solid still lifes... The key chapters of Western art history are vividly presented here, with extremely high quality and free to visit (only parking fees are charged).
3. The tranquil and elegant Central Garden: The Central Garden designed by Robert Irving is an oasis in the hustle and bustle. The winding paths, carefully matched plants, gurgling streams and unique water platform maze are full of natural interest and design ingenuity. It is a great place to stroll, relax and relax.
4. The unparalleled viewing platform: Located on the top of Santa Monica Mountain, the view is extremely wide. Standing on the terrace, you can see the city skyline of Los Angeles, the rolling mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean. When the weather is fine, the bustling city and the magnificent nature blend at this moment, especially at sunset, the scenery is particularly shocking.
Is it worth going? Without a doubt, it is highly recommended!
Art lovers must pilgrimage: the quality and breadth of the collection are enough to make people linger.
Architecture and landscape control will fall in love: the perfect dialogue between modern architecture and nature and urban landscape.
Visitors who seek unique experiences: the top of the mountain location, the small train, free high-quality art, the beautiful garden and the view, the combination experience is unique.

Practical tips: Parking is expensive (about $20, $15 after 3pm), so it is recommended to book a parking space on the official website in advance. Reserve at least 3-4 hours to enjoy the experience. Bring a camera, the sunset view is not to be missed!

Summary: The Getty Center combines top art, outstanding architecture, exquisite gardening and magnificent landscapes, providing a high-quality cultural experience full of aesthetic enjoyment and spiritual relaxation that far exceeds ordinary museums. It is not only a cultural landmark in Los Angeles, but also a must-see for anyone visiting Los Angeles.

Disneyland felt like stepping into a meticulously crafted dream. The castle shimmered in the sunlight, and the children around me screamed with excitement during the parade&mdash;that pure joy was infectious. What I remember most vividly is sitting by the roadside in the evening, watching the lights gradually come on, the air filled with the sweet scent of popcorn. Although the queues were tiring and the things were expensive, when you saw the fireworks bursting above the castle, you felt that all the day&#39;s effort was worthwhile. It may not be perfect, but it truly allows you to temporarily forget the outside world.

The hotel was excellent; the rooms were spacious and clean. The shuttle to Disneyland was very convenient. I had booked five nights through another platform. Originally, I planned to switch hotels after Disneyland and then Universal Studios, but the experience was quite good, and since Universal Studios isn&#39;t far, I booked four more nights through Ctrip.

There are many hotels near the resort, and the shuttle to the park is shared. This hotel&#39;s advantage in terms of park shuttles is that it&#39;s near the front of the pick-up line, ensuring a seat. This is very convenient, as the pick-up point is right outside the hotel.

The hotel breakfast, while basic and with limited variety, was served in a large, clean, and buffet-style restaurant with disposable plates and utensils. Very convenient.

The rooms don&#39;t offer bottled water, but there&#39;s a small area downstairs where you can buy food and drinks. Prices are similar to those in the park; you can pay by credit card or have it added to your room bill.

The laundry room is next to the gym on the first floor. Credit cards are accepted. Laundry is $3.50 each, and drying is $3.50. There are vending machines nearby for laundry balls and detergent. If you&#39;re planning a trip here, I recommend bringing your own laundry pods, as they&#39;re more economical 😂. A small box of laundry detergent, enough for one wash, costs about $2. Just for reference.

The hotel is not far from two nearby outlet malls via Uber, and there&#39;s also a Walmart nearby. I haven&#39;t tried walking, but although the distance seems short, it&#39;s right next to a main road, so you&#39;d probably have to take a detour.

Attached is a shuttle bus timetable for December 🚌, for your reference.

Hope this helps those booking hotels!

Griffith Observatory

Planetariums

Griffith Observatory was the most tranquil stop I visited in Los Angeles. Climbing the hillside at dusk, the city stretched out below like a warm, yellow sea of ​​lights, bustling yet serene. The observatory itself resembled a vintage white castle, its dome softening in the twilight. I didn&#39;t go inside to see the planetarium exhibit; I simply leaned against the railing, lost in thought. The wind was strong, but the vast panorama stretching from the city lights to the distant Hollywood sign instantly transported me away from daily anxieties. I remember that night vividly&mdash;not because it was spectacular, but because it gave me a long-lost, expansive peace.

Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

Science & technology museums

The American Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles County felt like stepping into a giant, story-telling warehouse. The moment I entered, I was awestruck by the rows of terrifying dinosaur skeletons&mdash;looking up, I could practically imagine them moving. My favorite part was the second-floor glass cases crammed with minerals and gems; under the lights, each stone seemed to hold a miniature universe. When I reached the African animal exhibit, a sudden silence fell, and the still specimens in the dim light possessed a strange, solemn quality. After a long walk, I sat on a bench in the atrium, looking through the glass roof at the bright California sunshine. At that moment, I felt that this place possessed both the vastness of the world and the quiet weight of time&mdash;a perfect place to quietly relax and daydream.
