A must-visit attraction in San Diego, after all, is an aircraft carrier, with a lot of space and several floors to visit. It will definitely feel particularly interesting for military fans.

动物园之旅对于我这种懒人来说实在是太友好了,整个园区交通设施很方便就是坐缆车,坐车,上车,吹风,听讲解员讲动物习性。整整一个月都沉静在我要保护动物们的想法中。

Baboa Park: The Baboa Park covers an area of4.9 square kilometers, a famous cultural park in downtown San Diego, United States, named after the Spanish explorer Vasco de Baboa. Babaya Park is the site of the 1915 World Expo in California. San Diego City built many gorgeous museum buildings for the Expo. The complex castle buildings not only reflect the characteristics of the Spanish colonial Renaissance that prevailed at that time. It also features a strong Gothic, Baroque and Rococo style. It has 14 museums, four theaters, a composite sports field, a rose garden and a Japanese garden to add to the park's colorful colors. The famous San Diego Zoo is also located in the park. Most of the park's venues have been demolished, leaving only a few to be retained forever, allowing future generations to imagine the grandeur of the year. In 1977, Baboa Park was rated a national historical landmark.

The San Diego Aerospace Museum is not as big as Washington, but it has a very good tour. The museum is divided into two areas, telling the evolution of various aircraft during World War II, and also has a real model of modern aircraft. 👍 is very suitable for taking children to 🤭. There are many interactive links and you can drive the plane yourself.

Statues/Sculptures
旅の径
On the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful port of San Diego, the water and sky are one color, and the scenery is picturesque. The most eye-catching landscape is the "Kiss of Victory" sculpture on the seashore. At noon on August 15, 1945 (August 14, local time in the United States), Emperor Hirohito of Japan broadcast to all of Japan, announcing his acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration and unconditional surrender to the Allies. The news soon spread to the United States, and New Yorkers took to the streets. Times Square was crowded with people celebrating the victory of the war and the advent of peace. A sailor couldn't help hugging a female nurse who he had never met and kissed her to express his inner joy. Alfred Eisenstaedt, a photographer for the American Life magazine, seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and took a picture of the exciting kiss. This photo of a sailor and a female nurse kissing, named "Kiss of Victory", has become a classic handed down from generation to generation. The "Kiss of Victory" statue, which was made based on a photo, was installed in Tuna Harbor Park in San Diego Harbor in February 2007, and is located next to the USS Midway aircraft carrier across the water. Beside the azure sea and the green trees, the 7.62-meter (25-foot) tall statue is elegant and lifelike. An endless stream of tourists pose and take photos, sharing the joy of victory...

Don't drive here on weekends, otherwise you will have to park far away. There are many good restaurants and unique shops in little Italy. It is worth spending a day to explore slowly.

[Scenery] On the green lawn of the San Diego Naval Base in the United States stands a huge sculpture "Kiss of the Century". It is a handsome sailor kissing a young nurse passionately, interpreting the ecstasy of the American people after the war. [Fun] This sculpture is touching. Such a romantic and passionate sculpture will make people, young and old, stop and look up and take photos with it. From the sculpture itself, there is nothing special, and the artistic conception is not unique, but from the effect of the sculpture creation, "Kiss of the Century" is admired by the world. It condenses history in the freeze frame, highlights the era in romance, and recalls the past in taste. [Cost-effectiveness] Such sculptures are rare and can be called classics.
