Trip Moments

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world and is a symbol of San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge spreading out on the blue sea has an exquisite design and a striking orange-red color. It is known as a model of bridges between China and the United States. Some people call it the "most photographed bridge", which can be found in many American movies and TV shows. See the beautiful figure of it. The best spot to take pictures is the battery point on the left side of the bridge. There are many viewpoints on the bridge. I drove around the place to take a step in the day. Some angles are relatively large, some are too far, 24-70 is not easy to use, or the battery point is the best. However, there were many people going there and there were few parking spaces. I waited for a while before I stopped at the car. The policeman came over to catch me once.

Desperado

When you mention San Francisco, what do you think of first? I think many people, like me, will think of the Golden Gate Bridge. Don't just take it for granted that the Golden Gate Bridge is golden, but actually it is vermilion. The name was taken by John Fulimont, an American writer and explorer of the 19th century. Because when he first arrived in San Francisco, he entered the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean, and saw the entire port gleaming under the sunlight, like the "Golden Gate", so the bridge across the harbor was of course called for the "Golden Gate Bridge". Such an iconic attraction is unavoidable popular tourist place, and it is also a must-see for everyone on their trip to San Francisco.

If you want to find a place way to enjoy the #goldengatebridge, make the walk all the way across into Marin County. That way the crowds won’t be so big and you can look back along the roadway and over to #sanfrancisco. #triplocal #triplocal

The Golden Gate Bridge is definitely a landmark in San Francisco. There should be no one. From the perspective of structure and scale, there may be nothing today, but in the 1940s, this was indeed a miracle. The bridge is more than 1,900 meters long and it took four years to complete. The red body makes it particularly eye-catching on the Kinmen Strait. In order to shoot the bridge, there are actually many different positions, such as the upper bridge, and the pier below. You can also cross the bridge to shoot on the opposite side of the mountain. It is recommended that the light be better in the morning. Walk and bike are free to get on the bridge, but pay attention to the wind on the bridge.

Additional Information

Introduction

As a globally renowned single-span suspension bridge, Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol and landmark of San Francisco. The Bridge spans the entire San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate strait of the Pacific Ocean, making it an important transportation hub linking San Francisco and cities to the north. Many US movies and TV shows have been filmed here. The north of the Bridge is an ideal site to take a panoramic picture of the structure; and its bright orange arch seems shrouded in mystery in foggy days; the Bridge's southern side is more suitable for a close-up snapshot of the water and the body of the Bridge. If the schedule allows, you can rent a bicycle and experience a more unique view while riding the length of the Bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge links beautiful San Franciso to Marin County. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge from several points. This photo was taken from the Bay Bridge. Visitors can walk the span of the Golden Gate Bridge in 45 minutes. Many people jog across the bridge daily for exercise and in order to breathe in the fresh sea air.
