Happy Friday! Hola, hola, hola! Hello, hello, hello! California is among the most exciting places on this planet, and in the United States, of course. It’s the favorite amongst Asians, especially the Chinese, which is why you can find several attractions here that showcase Chinese culture, such as the Los Angeles Chinatown. In this Uber traveler’s guide, get to know the best destinations in the Golden State. Let’s get started!
LA Chinatown: Los Angeles
That sub-heading looks like a crime flick, but Ridesharing Forum simply wants to say the first amazing attraction in California is Chinatown, in Los Angeles. Get it?
It’s not the oldest Chinatown, like those you see in Southeast Asia – well, Chinatowns in mainland China and the neighboring countries in East Asia are, of course, older, but a “Chinatown” means Chinese villages that are outside China – but the Los Angeles Chinatown is nothing insufficient of spectacular and historic.
Heading to it, you’ll see the mixtapes of 1930s Chinatown architectural design with modern and eclectic businesses. It’s likewise a cultural hub featuring ornate gates, traditional temples, popular Cantonese restaurants, art galleries on Chung King Road, and the iconic Bruce Lee statue. Let’s go!
San Francisco, the Western Paris
Isn’t Paris western? Well, speaking! Needless to say, when a rich tourist is bored, they’ll say, “Let’s fly to San Francisco!” And sure they would. This destination hailed the Paris of the West isn’t actually officially an attraction, like the LA Chinatown, but it deserves a spot here because, well, it’s San Francisco, but it’s more of a collection of attractions.
Visit the downtown financial district, with Little Italy loitering around, offering delectable pizza and gelato. Or, if you’re feeling a bit like Mexican, then try the taquerias and the colorful street art. Feeling hippie? Head over to the Haight-Ashbury
And, don’t forget to take an image of yourself with the Golden Gate Bridge right in the background. It’s California’s iconic landmark that truly lives up to its reputation.
Yosemite National Park
Bigfoot? Bigfoot! When a tourist first hears Yosemite National Park, they’d cringe and say, “Will Bigfoot pound me there?” Well, in folk legend, he is a large, hairy, ape-like creature said to inhabit forests in North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest. Described as an upright, eight-foot-tall bipedal humanoid, it is a prominent figure in folklore and pop culture.
Though, of course, when you wish to face Bigfoot, the best possible avenue is to feel its vibe as you hike around. Kidding aside, let’s be serious. The Yosemite National Park is a famous national park in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, renowned for its towering granite monoliths, high-dropping waterfalls, and ancient giant sequoia groves. Nature lovers, Ridesharing Forum hears yah!
Sure thing, folks! Love those destinations? For sure, there are more. And for sure, you’d check out Disneyland, Beverly Hills, the Hollywood sign, and so much more! But, do you know the best thing to do right now? Hop into that Uber car, and experience California’s design for travelers!
