Discovering one’s own family history can be surprising yet rewarding. Come listen to the author of Red Altar weave the story of her family starting with the crash of her ancestor’s junk boat in the Carmel Bay. Red Altar is a historical fiction novel based on true people and events starting with the 1850 Chinese junk boat crash that tossed 6 teenagers into the Carmel Bay to be rescued by members of the Ohlone Rumsen nation. The novel follows 3 generations of one Chinese family as they started the fishing industry in the Monterey Bay area despite increasing racism and prejudice. This is a story of resilience and courage, woven with the history of the anti-Chinese politics of the 19th century, and of the family members who endured and reinvented themselves over and over again as they faced laws against them and still thrived. Today, hundreds of their descendants gather every year to celebrate the resilience, courage and contributions of the family Red Altar is based on. Light refreshments will be served. Location: SF Main Library, 3rd floor, Chinese Center Address: 100 Larkin Street San Francisco, CA 94102

The San Francisco Public Library first opened in 1879, damaged by the 1989 earthquake, and the current library was built in 1995, with six floors up and down, as well as a basement, twice as large as the old library building.

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

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Lombard Street

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.
