    The essence section is the section from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and it must be opened from San Francisco to Los Angeles, because the road on the right is facing the sea, this direction is open, and the scenery is beautiful. It is really the most beautiful road. We drove for 3 days, the first day from San Francisco to Monterey, the second day to Pismo Beach, the third day to Los Angeles, all the way to stop, while walking, playing, the sea view is invincible, a lot of flowers that have not been seen in China, really beautiful. The main attractions passing by are Half Moon Bay, Dove Point Lighthouse, Monterey Town, Carmel Town, 17 Mile Bay, Big Sur McVeigh Falls, Bixby River Bridge, Elephant Seal Beach, Pismo Beach, Solvan Danish Town, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica Beach, etc.

    Kutna Hora BONE CHURCH Kutna Hora is the world's most famous bone church, which contains no less than 40,000 human bones, from the Black Death patients in the 14th century and the people who died in the "Hussite War" in the early 15th century. When the town of Kutna was repairing the church, bones were dug up everywhere. There was no place to put the piled-up bones. It was not until 1870 that the artist Rint thought of using them to decorate the church. After thoroughly disinfecting the bones, he arranged them into various patterns such as chandeliers, crosses, door lintels, family emblems, etc. ~ So this bone church was born! The courtyard outside the church is a cemetery. It is said that an abbot brought back a handful of soil from Jerusalem on a pilgrimage and scattered it in the church yard. Since then, famous families have been buried here as an honor. The small courtyard is very expensive, and many cemeteries are where a family is buried together. ​Walking into the scene does not give people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, but rather a very shocking and fearful feeling of death.
