Today I went to Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles and parked in the nearest parking lot, number 70. This parking lot was very close to the park, saving me a lot of walking time, which I was very happy about. Once inside the park, I noticed that the crowds were significantly less than at Universal Studios Hollywood in Beijing, which allowed me to enjoy the various rides more easily without long queues. Furthermore, the prices were relatively reasonable, making it feel like good value for money. The advantages of Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles are its convenient parking facilities, moderate crowds, and reasonable prices. These factors combined create a comfortable and enjoyable environment. The fewer people here made the experience smoother, without the feeling of crowds and noise. Overall, Universal Studios Hollywood left a deep impression on me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable park experience. Whether you're going with family or friends, it will be a memorable destination. I give it a 90% recommendation rating, and I hope everyone can find their own happy time here.

We visited both Disneyland parks in California and experienced all the major attractions in one day. The lines weren't long; the longest wait was only half an hour, much better than in China. There were quite a few elderly people enjoying the rides.

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'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's advantage in terms of park shuttles is that it'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't offer bottled water, but there'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're planning a trip here, I recommend bringing your own laundry pods, as they'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's also a Walmart nearby. I haven't tried walking, but although the distance seems short, it's right next to a main road, so you'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 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'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—not because it was spectacular, but because it gave me a long-lost, expansive peace.

The mineral exhibit was eye-opening, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. Many of the minerals came from China, and they were as beautiful as works of art, even surpassing them in artistic merit. The dinosaur exhibit had many groups of children visiting. The TREX 3D movie was also quite good. I hadn't done my research beforehand and thought this museum was where they filmed "Night at the Museum," but that wasn't the case.

Managed to catch some big superstar for Lakers outside the arena. Pretty upset as NBA regular season is ended when I visited in June and no playoff games at the time hence I wasn’t able to watch the game in the arena but I’m sure I will be back some day again to watch a NBA game.

Lakers is the favorite team of most fans. From the Kobe era to the current James-led basketball empire, there is one less game to watch. The live viewing experience is definitely worth the fans to find out.

The Getty Center is one of Los Angeles' most dazzling cultural landmarks! Perched atop the Santa Monica Mountains in Brentwood, it was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier and officially opened on December 16, 1997. This $1.3 billion modernist complex, constructed with imported Italian off-white travertine, boasts clean, bright lines, blending nature and culture with a futuristic aesthetic. It serves as the flagship campus of the J. Paul Getty Trust, and primarily includes: • The J. Paul Getty Museum: Its collection comprises European paintings, drawings, manuscripts, sculptures, and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, as well as world photography from the 1830s to the present. Its crown jewels include Impressionist masterpieces such as Van Gogh's *Irises* and Monet's *Haystacks*! • Central Garden: Designed by artist Robert Irwin, this 12,000-square-meter garden features maze-like pathways, pools, stone waterfalls, and over 500 plant species. A stroll through it is incredibly therapeutic, like stepping into an art dream. • Other highlights: Outdoor sculpture terraces and spectacular panoramic city views (from the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains). Take the free tram up the mountain from the parking lot. Admission is free (advance booking required for time slots). It attracts nearly 2 million visitors annually. Art, architecture, gardens, and stunning views of LA – a perfect one-stop experience! Whether you're an art enthusiast or looking for Instagram-worthy photos, this is definitely worth a visit!

So great! As a F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan, going here made us really happy. The ticket bought here was very easy to use. We were also fan of Harry Potter and Gilmore Girls so going here was really great

10. Exposition Park
7.8
based on 96 reviews
Exposition Park, this 52-hectare urban oasis has been famous for its cross-border cultural landmarks since its establishment. In the California Science Center, the core of the park, the retired space shuttle "Endeavour" is suspended in a special exhibition hall. The adjacent ecological dome simulates a tropical rainforest environment, where visitors can observe the real-time process of butterflies breaking out of their cocoons. The Gem and Mineral Hall of the Natural History Museum contains azurite crystals. More than 200 species of roses in the rose garden spread along the Neo-Renaissance arcade. The ancient Greek arches of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum have witnessed the opening ceremonies of two Olympic Games, and its underground corridors display the signature wall of past torchbearers. As an urban park that integrates aerospace technology, Olympic heritage and ecological art, it continues to write the chapter of Los Angeles' public memory with cultural layers spanning three centuries.
