From 1915 to 1917, William Bowers Bourn II and his wife, the owners of the "Empire Gold Mine", built Philoli Manor. It is a masterpiece designed by the talented American architect Willis Polk, which combines the English country garden with the native California landscape. Known as one of the "Top Ten Beautiful Gardens in North America", it covers an area of nearly 265 hectares and is a park with beautiful natural scenery. There is a Georgian Revival-style mansion in the garden, as well as multiple English Renaissance-style gardens with more than 150 different varieties of roses, an orchard covering an area of 2.8 hectares, and a 1.6-kilometer-long path. Many design elements in the manor were also influenced by Chinese gardens. For example, there is a winding artificial stream in the garden, which is similar to the streams in Chinese gardens; many traditional Chinese flowers and plants are also planted in the garden, such as peonies, bamboos, etc. Peony symbolizes wealth and good luck; bamboo is a symbol of perseverance.San Mateo County · 27.2 km from Silicon Valley

What travelers say about Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley doesn't really feel like a tourist attraction. I stood in front of Apple's giant ring for a while; the security guard was polite but wouldn't let me in. Google's colorful bicycles were there, but passersby were too busy looking at their phones. In the roadside cafes, people were frowning so deeply at their computers they could trap a mosquito. Driving around, all you see are low-rise office buildings, much like a typical industrial area. But sitting on a park bench near Stanford, watching kids fly kites, was much more comfortable than any of those tech parks.

The colorful Google headquarters is located in Mountain View. An old classmate who works at Google enthusiastically took us inside to visit and introduced us.
In the beautiful environment surrounded by bright sunshine and green trees, Google employees can be seen sitting on the ground at work, discussing problems in groups of three or two, or operating computers alone. It is rare to be able to engage in high-tech creative work in such a relaxing and comfortable environment!

There are many flowers and plants in this rose garden, which is also a small park in this small town. The rose garden is also a very interesting landscape. You can see many good facilities and there are quite a lot of roses.

The Hoover Tower is inside Stanford University. When you go there to send a package, the staff will lead you to take the elevator to the top floor. You can overlook the entire campus. The scenery is pretty good. Many of the photos below were taken on top of the tower.

Filoli Garden House was absolutely a bang for a buck! It was so stunning with various kinds of flower during peak blooming season of springtime. Historic House was amazing as well with ethereal interior design, especially the gorgeous arts of floral arrangement in different vases.
