The unique historical origin has created a unique local customs. When visiting Santiago, the Old Town Historical Park is worth a visit. Walking in the park, in the old streets and alleys with a strong ancient charm, the deepest FIESTA DE REYES is the most popular. Fiesta de Reyes is a group of Mexican-style courtyards that integrates catering, shops, leisure and entertainment. Environment-"Coco" This "record" has a cool atmosphere that is natural, the stage-young and old dancers are full of fun, and the surroundings-tourists from all over the world are eating and enjoying themselves...Experiencing the colorful exotic customs feels really good.

Belmont Park is a small amusement park in Mission Beach. The most famous and fun thing in it should be the wooden roller coaster. You can see the beautiful scenery of Mission Beach from it. It is suitable for bringing children to play together.

Beautiful baseball park. Easy access. Great concessions, lots of choices. Went to two sold out concerts. Great facilities, but be aware that the restrooms and concessions are designed for the small traffic crowds during baseball games, they are not designed for the rush at concerts. The lineup was crazy and so good. Other than the restrooms, the experience was very good.

San Diego-Coronado Bridge The San Diego-Coronado Bridge is a cross-sea bridge in the United States. The bridge is located in San Diego, California, on the west coast of the United States, near the Mexican border. The bridge spans the San Diego Bay, connecting San Diego and Coronado Island, and is 2.12 miles long. Highway 75 passes through the bridge and intersects with Interstate 5 in San Diego. The 200-foot clearance in the middle of the bridge is enough for the tallest ships to pass. The bridge cost $50 million and was started in February 1967. It was completed and opened to traffic on August 3, 1969, and quickly became a local landmark. Due to its unique bridge towers and graceful curves, the bridge won the Excellence Award from the American Institute of Steel Construction in 1970.

This is a nice place, a great place for hiking. Parking is free at the foot of the mountain and $20 per day on the mountain. If you don't stop on the mountain, you can walk up for 30 minutes and then reach the trail. The sea view is accompanied by mountains and forests, which is beautiful!

Cabrillo National Monument In 1542, the Portuguese navigator Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo landed on the west coast of North America here, and this national monument got its name from this. The park is located on the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California, and is managed by the National Park Service.

In addition to the Cabrillo monument, there is also the Old Point Loma Highthouse, which is more than 100 years old, and the remains of the US coastal artillery positions during World War II. It is also a field site for observing marine life and coastal plants. In September, you can also watch gray whales migrating through this channel.
