2026 Los Angeles Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in May)

*The photos were taken in August 2025. 📍Watching the Dodgers baseball game at Dodger Stadium (Photos 2-3) Watching baseball in America is an amazing experience! We cheered while enjoying huge amounts of chicken and beer 🍻 from the concession stands. The moment Ohtani came out, there was a huge cheer of "Woohoo!" I was surprised by how much more popular Ohtani is than the other players. You can also buy uniforms inside the stadium (around $200). If you want to wear a uniform to enter the stadium, you can also purchase one at the "Dodgers Clubhouse" near Venice Beach. I also wore an Ohtani uniform to cheer. Furthermore, after the game, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the LA skyline at night. 📍Universal Studios Hollywood It's much less crowded than Universal Studios Japan, so you can enjoy many more attractions. I was able to ride the Harry Potter ride three times with only a 5-minute wait! 🤗🙌 You can definitely enjoy it in one day! 📍Griffith Observatory When you think of Los Angeles, "La La Land" comes to mind 💃🕺 The scene at Griffith Observatory is memorable for everyone. I'm one of them, and I went to see the night view. The planetarium requires a separate fee, but the night view is free. Before going to LA, definitely watch "La La Land"! 🙌🎬 ◎Regarding Transportation Install "Uber" and "TAP LA"! I used Los Angeles Airport this time, and it's incredibly huge. The first mission of overseas travel is how to get from the airport to your first destination... In Los Angeles, I recommend using taxis or Uber. I stayed at a nearby hotel on my first day, so I used the free shuttle bus provided by the hotel, but it was quite troublesome due to the heavy congestion near the airport. I recommend installing Uber before you leave. LA buses and trains do not accept cash. Installing the "TAP LA" app is very convenient. It works like PASMO or Suica, it's a prepaid card. You can top it up with Apple Pay, so it's convenient to keep it in your wallet. (Last photo) I hope this is helpful for your LA sightseeing! 😎 #la #GriffithObservatory #DodgerStadium #UniversalStudios

I'd like to introduce my recommended hostel where I stayed in Los Angeles! It's called Samesun Hollywood. In expensive LA, it's hard to find this quality at this price! ✨ And above all, the location is fantastic. It's right in front of the Hollywood subway station, and the Walk of Frames is a 0-minute walk away. It's lively with lots of people around even at night, and having the hostel right there makes you feel very safe. 😮💨 There's a hairdryer, the showers have plenty of hot water, and most importantly, it's clean. Towels are changed daily! The staff are also on-site 24 hours a day and are very friendly. Furthermore, you can freely use the kitchen, which is great in America where food is expensive, as you can cook with ingredients bought at the supermarket! There's also a refrigerator, so you can keep any leftovers chilled. There's even a billiards area and desks, so you can easily do some laptop work. Breakfast includes unlimited bagels and fruit every morning. #OverseasTravelTips #America #LosAngeles

Last August, I took a trip to LA for the first time in 3 years, so I'm sharing my itinerary with you! ✨ I flew out of Kobe on Korean Air with a layover in South Korea. The airplane food was the best I've ever had, and the cabin was super comfortable. Plus, I scored a great deal on my round-trip flight for only 110,000 yen. I stayed at a hostel right across from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was incredibly convenient because the main tourist spots and the metro station were right on my doorstep. Best of all, it was super budget-friendly! ‼️ I basically got around everywhere using the Metro and buses, so my transportation costs were kept pretty low! If you have any other questions, feel free to drop a comment below! Travel Guide

💙 🛤️ Transportation / How to Get There: The Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles is best viewed from the Griffith Observatory. Driving up and taking in the view from the observatory is the standard route. 📍 Location: Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Hills 💡 Why I Recommend It: As the ultimate icon of LA, its presence is undeniable even from afar. The angle from the Griffith Observatory is especially famous, and the vibe is even more magical at dusk with the sunset. ⏰ Hours of Operation: The outdoor viewpoint is open 24/7, while the observatory typically operates from morning to evening. 🎟️ Admission: Free of charge.

Heading west from Los Angeles, after admiring the towering Western-style architecture in the City of Angels, you suddenly come across a majestic Chinese-style complex built against the hillside. This is the largest Han Chinese Buddhist temple in North America: Hsi Lai Temple. It was initiated by Venerable Master Hsing Yun and completed in 1988. The full name is California Hsi Fo Guang Hsi Lai Temple. 🌟 Highlights: It is architecturally complete: strictly following the traditional Chinese temple’s central axis symmetrical layout, from the mountain gate (paifang), Five Saints Hall, Great Hero Hall to the side halls, bell tower, and drum tower. The structure is rigorous, with red walls, yellow tiles, flying eaves, and dougong brackets, representing a rare, authentic Chinese imperial-style Buddhist architectural complex in the West. It differs from other Han Chinese Buddhist temples: [Heart] Structure: The intimidating Hall of Heavenly Kings is removed, and the Five Saints (Manjushri, Guanyin, Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, Samantabhadra) appear directly: Upon entering, you immediately see the five great Bodhisattvas, conveying wisdom, compassion, joy, vow power, and practice. This is more approachable and better suited for Western multiculturalism. [Heart] Air conditioning, elevators, conference rooms, library, and especially a huge parking lot. The decoration is beautiful, resembling a public gathering place with a festive atmosphere. [Heart] No admission fee, no incense burning, no paper money burning, no mandatory offerings, no commercial stalls. [Heart] Bilingual: Chinese and English run in parallel (chanting, ceremonies, and explanations are all bilingual). [Heart] Attached are Hsi Lai University (an accredited American university), a Chinese school, children’s summer camp, youth group, and women’s Dharma seat, making it a primary window for Westerners to learn Buddhism and understand Chinese culture. Address: 3456 Glenmark Dr, Hacienda Heights, CA 91745 (Hacienda Heights, Los Angeles, about 1.5-2 hours drive from San Diego) · Opening hours: Daily 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (open year-round, including holidays) · Admission: Free, donations welcome · Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours (including vegetarian meal experience) · Core highlights: North America’s largest Han Chinese Buddhist temple, Chinese palace-style architectural complex, and a landmark of Humanistic Buddhism culture

🏨 Spot Name: The Last Bookstore 📍 Location: Downtown Los Angeles, USA 🇺🇸 💰 Price: Free Admission 📖 Vibe / Features: Often called the "most beautiful bookstore in the world," this is one of LA's most popular spots. ✨ With tunnels made entirely of books and expansive art spaces, it's less of a traditional bookstore and more of an "experiential spot." 📸 They also sell vinyl records and quirky knick-knacks, making it a super fun space just to browse and hang out. ⸻ 💞 Why We Recommend It: ✔ The book tunnel is incredibly Instagrammable 📸 ✔ Unbeatable quality for free admission ✔ Highly sought-after as a photo spot ✔ Perfectly located to pair with downtown sightseeing 👉 The ultimate "can't-miss" classic for any LA trip. ⸻ 📸 Pro Photo Tips: ✔ Shoot a silhouette from the end of the book tunnel ✔ Shoot from a slightly lower angle to capture 3D depth ✔ Aim for off-peak hours to avoid crowds ⸻ Recommended Itinerary: Afternoon: Explore Downtown LA → The Last Bookstore → Cafe hopping and gallery tours ☕️ 👉 The perfect aesthetic travel route is complete! ⸻ Final Thoughts: Honestly, this place is way beyond just a "bookstore." Even if you're just going for the photos, you'll be super satisfied, and the space itself is so stylish it naturally boosts your mood. ✨ Recommended for anyone in Los Angeles looking for a "truly aesthetic spot." 🤍

Flying business class with Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Frankfurt is one of those long-haul experiences that reminds you why the airline consistently ranks among the world’s best. The journey begins at Singapore Changi Airport, where business class passengers can unwind at the airline’s lounge before boarding. Once on board, the cabin immediately feels spacious and refined, with a 1-2-1 seating layout that gives every passenger direct aisle access and plenty of personal space. The seat itself is one of the widest in business class and easily converts into a fully flat bed, making the 12-hour journey far more comfortable. Storage compartments, a large entertainment screen with KrisWorld, and thoughtful touches like plush bedding make it easy to settle in for the flight. Service is another highlight — the crew are attentive without being intrusive, often anticipating what you might need before you even ask. Dining is where the experience really stands out. Singapore Airlines’ “Book the Cook” option lets you pre-select premium meals before departure, and the onboard service feels closer to a restaurant than an airplane meal. From appetisers to dessert, each course is thoughtfully presented and paired with wines or champagne. We had the signature satay, beef steak, lobster thermidor and a fruit & cheese platter. We were even presented with a chocolate cake and cute teddy plushies as part of anniversary celebrations. For travellers heading to Europe, this route between Singapore and Frankfurt offers a smooth, comfortable journey that turns a long-haul flight into part of the travel experience itself. ✈️🍽️ #couplestrip #springtravel

If there is a train that can capture all the romance of the U.S. West Coast inside its carriages, it must be the Pacific Surfliner 🌊 We chose to depart from Los Angeles Union Station, heading to the seaside town of Santa Barbara in two and a half hours.

No need to choose expensive seats; just buy a regular coach ticket, then head straight to the central observation dining car after boarding.

#winterescape If you want that classic Southern California feeling — ocean breeze, yachts, and elegant waterfront homes — walk through Marina del Rey. This area is one of the largest man-made marinas in North America, built in the 1960s, and today it’s where sailboats, luxury condos, and quiet canals create a relaxed but upscale atmosphere. 🌊 What the Walk Feels Like Start near the marina promenade and follow the path toward the beach. You’ll pass: Rows of white yachts gently moving in the water Modern glass-front houses Mediterranean-style villas with balconies Palm trees perfectly lined along the waterfront For even more “fancy house” views, cross toward the Venice Canal area near Venice Canals — small bridges, waterfront patios, and beautifully designed homes right on the water. 🌅 Best Time to Go Late afternoon is magic here. The light turns golden, boats reflect in the marina, and the atmosphere feels calm and cinematic. It’s much quieter than Santa Monica but still close to everything. Marina del Rey isn’t loud or flashy — it’s refined, coastal, and effortlessly Californian. A perfect slow walk if you want to see the elegant side of Los Angeles without the crowds. #LosAngeles #USA #yanaberg_usa

We spent 4 amazing days in Los Angeles this September and stayed at a beautiful Airbnb in Burbank. Perfect location. Close to everywhere and calm. Day 1 – Arrival, Beverly Hills & Santa Monica After landing in LA (LAX Airport), we took a little walk to the bus stop to get our rental car. We rented our car from Turo. We rented a hybrid car. Then we headed our way and stopped by Walmart to pick up groceries and essentials before heading to our Airbnb in Burbank. Once we settled in, we didn’t waste any time and went straight out to explore. We spent the afternoon in Beverly Hills, walking around and visiting Erewhon. Then we headed to The Grove for more exploring and shopping. In the evening, we drove to Santa Monica. We walked around the pier, visited Pacific Park, and had dinner at Blue Plate Taco. It was the perfect first night — ocean air, sunset views, and such a lively atmosphere. ⸻ Day 2 – Hollywood & Griffith Observatory We started the day by visiting the Hollywood Sign area for photos and views. Later, we went to Griffith Observatory around sunset — and it was absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sun go down over Los Angeles from there was unforgettable. We also explored inside the observatory, which made the experience even better. ⸻ Day 3 – El Matador Beach & Malibu Midday, we visited Calabasas, thousand oaks. We had our lunch at Mythpoint (Mediterranean restaurant ). Then we headed to El Matador Beach. We drove by Decker Canyon Road which has one of the best Malibu view. The road was narrow, be careful! Then, we arrived at El matador beach. The rock formations were stunning and the scenery felt almost unreal. We parked by the road and took a walk to arrive the beach, found the stairs! For sunset, we went to Point Dume in Malibu. We did a beautiful trail hike up to the top and watched the sunset over the ocean. The view from above was magical — definitely one of the highlights of our trip. ⸻ Day 4 – West Hollywood, Venice & Santa Monica In the morning and early afternoon, we explored West Hollywood around the Melrose area, browsed shops, and stopped at Urth Caffé — which we loved. Toward sunset, we walked around Venice Beach, watched the skateboarders, and enjoyed the vibrant energy. In the evening, we returned to Santa Monica one last time. It was lively and full of movement — the perfect ending to our LA trip. ⸻ One evening while staying in Burbank, we also explored AMC Burbank Town Center, which was a fun and relaxed place to walk around at night. For us, 4 days in Los Angeles felt just right — we experienced beaches, city views, hiking, shopping, and sunsets all in one trip. Already dreaming of going back 🌊✨ #losangeles #california #travel #beachlife #couplestrip #travel2026 #naturalwonders #familytravel #myitinerary #localfood #malibu #elmatadorbeach #pointdume #burbank #venicebeach

I'll introduce the places I wanted to visit in Los Angeles, as well as some things to keep in mind before going to the game! First, here are the things I wanted to see when I went to Los Angeles 💁 1. Miyako Hotel, Los Angeles This is the Shohei Ohtani mural at Miyako Hotel, Los Angeles! I was so excited that I forgot to take a QR code or something to make the image move, so if you're going, I recommend calming down and looking at the ground first! Lol 📍Address: 328 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90012, USA I had tickets to a Dodgers game, but I didn't realize that I could only bring a 30x30x15 sized clear bag into the stadium. What a disaster. In times like these, it's Daiso! So I hurried off to look for one. 2. Daiso I'd read some reviews saying mesh bags would work, so I thought maybe a translucent paper bag would work too! I went for one. The store had a lot of snacks and products with Japanese writing on them! 📍Location: 333 S Alameda St Suite 114, Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA Once you arrive at the stadium, you'll need to drop off your luggage in a container-like area before heading to the gate. Your bag will be tagged and you're ready to enter! I was able to enter with just my valuables, popcorn, and water in a clear paper bag. lol If you're going to a Dodgers game, I'm sure you've already done your research, but I recommend stopping by Daiso before heading back. On the way back, I took the free bus to Union Station! There's a long line, but if you wait, you can get on. #DodgerStadium #WatchingDodgers #LosAngelesTrip #LittleTokyo

✅Playa Del Rey Coastal Road 📍 6931 Vista Del Mar Ln This street offers a view of seaside residences and the sea level. No matter how you take the photo, it will look very beautiful. I suggest you arrive before sunset. The sun will shine brightly on the avenue, creating a super chill atmosphere. The Californian style is absolutely splendid. . ✅ In-N-Out Burger Shop ?? 33°57'14.2"N 118°23'49.2"W The iconic parking spot allows you to have a close-up view of planes landing ✈️ + palm trees 🌴 + sunset 🌅. The best way to get there is to park your car in the parking lot and then find the elevator leading to the rooftop. If you can't reach the parking lot, you can also go to the adjacent lawn. . ✅ Hermosa Beach Pier - Filming Location of "Hermosa Beach" The scene in the movie where Mia and Sebastian stroll and talk on the pier was shot at Hermosa Beach Pier. At sunset, walking on the pier creates a very cinematic atmosphere. . ✅Griffith Observatory - Griffith Astronomical Observatory 📍2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027 It is also one of the filming locations for "La La Land". The view of Los Angeles at night from the observatory is simply like the 🎶 musical piece "City of Stars" - breathtaking! . ✅Hollywood Sign - Hollywood Logo 📍3160 Canyon Lake Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068 From Lake Hollywood Park, you can capture the most classic view of the Hollywood Sign 📸. The backdrop is the hills and the blue sky. It is recommended to go at around 8 or 9 in the morning. There are fewer people and it's easier to find a parking spot. The light is also suitable for taking photos! . ✅ South Palm Drive - Palm Avenue ?? Located in Beverly Hills, this street is famous for its luxurious houses and typical Los Angeles palm trees. Put on a Spice Girls outfit and take a photo with the pink sunset 💕 The rich California style is right in front of you! . ✅ Beverly Hills Hotel - The Pink Palace The pioneer of the pink trend🔥, the hotel is surrounded by palm trees?? with a Southern California vibe. The pink striped lounge chairs and the blue outdoor swimming pool make one feel as if they are in a tropical garden. Not only are the exterior walls and furniture pink, but even the hotel takeout boxes🥡 are pink! The glamorous Hollywood-style decoration is perfect for both people and scenes📸️! . ✅Santa Monica Pier - Santa Monica Beach The Ferris wheel 🎢 looks particularly romantic against the backdrop of the sunset. The 66th Street sign at the entrance of the pier, even a casual photo of it, exudes a strong Californian atmosphere. . ✅ Victoria Beach 📍Victoria Beach Pirate Tower The location of Pirate Tower and the circular swimming pool. It's about 10 minutes south of Laguna Beach. The swimming pool changes constantly throughout the day. The water volume varies according to the tides. The small caves and rock pools on the beach are also very interesting and suitable for exploration and photography 📸

Where are you heading this Golden Week? With 5 days off including weekends and holidays, you can literally go anywhere ✈️ Let me share my actual travel schedules with you ✨ I love night flights, so my basic rule is: Work → Airport/Departure → Sightseeing → Return The best part is you can do it without taking any paid leave 🙂↕️ ⸻ ① USA – Los Angeles This is the place to experience "The America" 🇺🇸. From the world's first Disneyland to Hollywood and Santa Monica, there are so many attractions! It's a destination you'll want to visit again and again 🤭💭 ⸻ ② Turkey – Cappadocia The sight of hot air balloons filling the sky is truly a "once-in-a-lifetime view" 🎈✨. Waking up early is a must, but seeing the balloons against the sunrise is absolutely breathtaking. The town is laid-back, making it perfect for those who want to savor an extraordinary experience 💭 ⸻ ③ France – Paris Just walking through the streets of Paris 🇫🇷 feels like a scene from a painting. Of course, there's the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but the most luxurious moments were spent idly at a café ☕️.

As the plane pierced through layers of clouds, revealing the city below bathed in a golden glow from the sunlight, I knew that Los Angeles, the "City of Angels" brimming with endless possibilities, was ready to welcome me with open arms. Unlike the fast-paced rhythm of New York, LA offers a unique vibe that's laid-back, sunny, and tinged with a touch of Hollywood glamour. Over the next three days, I'll be exploring movie sets and Pacific waves, showing you the most authentic ways to experience LA. 🚩 Itinerary Day 1: Hollywood's Stars and Dreams The journey begins on Hollywood Boulevard, walking along the Walk of Fame to find the names of your idols, followed by a photo op with the Oscar statue at the Dolby Theatre. In the afternoon, visit Warner Bros. Studio to see Monica's apartment from "Friends" and the set of "The Big Bang Theory," and get a taste of what it's like to be an actor. By evening, drive to Griffith Observatory to overlook the entire Los Angeles basin at sunset and witness the city lights come alive as night falls—a breathtaking experience you'll never forget. Day 2: A Romantic Encounter with Ocean Breeze and Art Start the morning at Santa Monica Beach, enjoying the sea breeze under the iconic pier's Ferris wheel. Stroll along the Third Street Promenade to soak in California's unique laid-back vibe. In the afternoon, head to the Getty Center, where you can admire masterpieces by Van Gogh and Monet. The architecture and garden design of the Getty Center itself are works of art, perfect for stunning photos. If time permits, visit Venice Beach in the evening to watch street performers, where the air is filled with freedom and creativity. Day 3: Urban Exploration and Shopping Spree Dedicate the final day to Beverly Hills, soaking in the luxury of Rodeo Drive and marveling at the extravagant cars and high-end boutiques. Then, head to the Farmers Market or The Grove for some shopping and to savor authentic street food. If you're an aviation enthusiast, the observation deck near Santa Monica Airport is a great spot to watch planes soar overhead, adding a dynamic end to your trip. 🏖️ Must-Visit Spots The Hollywood Sign is a classic photo op; Lake Hollywood Park offers a perfect view without the hike, featuring a lush lawn and the iconic sign. Griffith Observatory is not only the best spot for night views but also a filming location for "La La Land." The Route 66 End of the Trail sign at Santa Monica Pier is a must-see for road trip enthusiasts. The Getty Center's architecture and gardens are postcard-perfect in every shot. 🚇 Transportation LA's transportation is like a sprawling pancake; renting a car is the best option as getting around without one can be challenging. While Metro trains and Big Blue Buses are available, their coverage is limited, and schedules are less frequent compared to cities like New York or Hong Kong. If you prefer not to drive, Uber/Lyft are widely available and convenient, especially for evening trips to Griffith Observatory, where drivers are usually friendly. 📷 Photo Spots Capture candid moments of surprised passersby while taking photos with celebrity handprints on Hollywood Boulevard. The spherical telescope at Griffith Observatory is a classic shot, but don't forget to photograph the geometric lines inside the building. At Santa Monica Beach, sunset silhouettes of the Ferris wheel are a must. Use the layered terraces at the Getty Center to capture the interplay of cityscapes and architecture. 🍜 Local Delicacies In-N-Out Burger is a must-try in LA; go for the Animal Style from the secret menu. The Farmers Market's Majordomo or The Original Pantry Cafe are beloved by locals for authentic American cuisine. For something unique, Korean BBQ and Samgyetang in Koreatown are excellent late-night dining options. 🏠 Accommodation Recommendations West Hollywood or Beverly Hills are top choices for their safety and proximity to major attractions, ideal for travelers seeking convenience and quality. Oceanfront hotels in Santa Monica offer stunning views of the Pacific, perfect for a leisurely getaway. For budget travelers, hotels near downtown or Union Station transportation hubs are good options, but be mindful of safety in certain areas at night. 💡 Tips Parking fees in LA are generally high, especially at attractions and shopping centers, so budget accordingly. Traffic congestion is common, particularly during rush hours, so plan ample travel time. The sun is intense, so always wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Some popular attractions like Warner Bros. Studio and the Getty Center require advance reservations, especially during peak seasons—don't wait until the last minute to book.

🌸🚝 Amtrak Scenic Train | Fresno Blossom Trail Overview If you want to enjoy spring without driving, you must try taking Amtrak through California's Central Valley to admire the romantic flower sea of the Fresno Blossom Trail. 🌼 What is the Fresno Blossom Trail? Every year from February to March, the Central Valley area around Fresno enters the blooming season: · 🌸 Almond blossoms (the largest and most stunning) · 🌼 Peach blossoms, plum blossoms, citrus flowers The entire farmland looks like it's covered with a pink and white carpet, known as "California's limited springtime scenic route." ⸻ 🚆 The charm of seeing flowers by Amtrak The San Joaquins line is one of the best routes for flower viewing: · 👀 Large windows: farmland and orchards all along the way, offering wide-open views · 🌸 Mobile flower viewing: no need to stop or find your way, the flower sea "flows by" itself · 😌 Slow pace, very soothing: better than driving for quietly enjoying the scenery · ☕ You can relax, read, and drink coffee on the train—this is how spring should be spent 📍 Common route: Sacramento ↔ Fresno ↔ Bakersfield ⸻ ✨ When is it most beautiful? · Best time: mid-February to early March · Morning/Afternoon: soft light, the flower colors are most layered and beautiful · After rain clears, the flower colors are especially fresh 🌤️ ⸻ 🌸 A little reminder · Blooming season varies slightly each year due to weather · Window seats are recommended · Can be combined with a short stop in Fresno city + self-driving farm routes for a more complete experience

First time visiting the United States, stayed for three days, and to be honest… ✨ The U.S. is even more amazing than I imagined! Although I only stayed for three days, I have completely fallen in love with its diverse culture and natural scenery~ 🌆 Must-visit Attractions Recommended 1. Statue of Liberty The iconic landmark of New York Harbor. Taking a boat close to it is truly breathtaking! Standing on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, and watching the statue get closer is such a wonderful feeling. It’s recommended to book in advance to avoid long queues. 2. Golden Gate Bridge The postcard landmark of San Francisco, the orange-red bridge stands out vividly against the blue sky and white clouds. You can rent a bike to ride across the bridge or take a walk along the waterfront—both offer great photo opportunities from different angles. 3. Hollywood Walk of Fame The entertainment hub of Los Angeles. Walking along the Walk of Fame to find your favorite stars’ handprints lets you feel the charm of Hollywood. Nearby is the Dolby Theatre, the venue for the Oscars, full of atmosphere. 4. Grand Canyon National Park A natural wonder in Arizona. Standing at the edge of the canyon and looking down, the grandeur is beyond words. At sunrise and sunset, the sunlight casts colors on the canyon, creating breathtaking views. 💡 Practical Tips · The U.S. is vast and sparsely populated, with long distances between attractions, so plan your route in advance. · Be mindful of the time difference; don’t overexert yourself on the first day to allow your body to adjust. · Basic English is necessary. Although many places offer Chinese services, basic communication skills are still needed. · Remember to bring a power adapter, as the U.S. voltage and plug standards are different. 🌟 Real Feelings Honestly, I had many stereotypes about the U.S. before coming, but after three days, my views completely changed! People here are very friendly, cities are clean and tidy, and the natural scenery is stunning. Although the time was short, I am deeply attracted by the diverse culture here. If you love exploring different cultures and enjoy natural scenery, the U.S. is definitely worth a visit! Even though I only stayed for three days, I’m already planning a deeper trip next time~
