The Natural Museum is very good! Close to the University of Southern California. Not good parking. It is recommended to take children to visit! There are a lot of dinosaur fossils inside!

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.

When we went to visit, we happened to meet the college students' admission time, and it took a long time to get the car into the parking lot of the campus. There are many buildings to visit, the most famous should be the statue of their bear and the backflowing waterfall. However, there is no detailed investigation this time, so it is more like a blind, and then experience the atmosphere of a famous American school. The shops on the campus also sell some surrounding goods, and you can also buy them if you need them.

Well, I love the train, I said it! Will I walk a long distance to take the Angel Railway? Maybe not, but since we're going back to the hotel from dinner, you can guess that of course I'll spend $1 per line to take it! Despite having at least two signage there, some (my husband!) asked if each line was the same price! (The girl laughed and said she was asked much more than anyone else.) It only takes a few minutes to get back to the ride itself, which is all the history of the train. It's shorter than the Pittsburgh cable car, but it's all equally fun! Sit at nine o'clock and don't have to wait.

The broad is a popular place to check in in recent years. The famous grass room of fried chicken inside is infinite mirror: after entering the exhibition hall on the first floor, turn left. When you see a long queue, you will queue up. The staff will register your name with the iPad and tell you the time to wait. Then when the time is approaching, there is a text message to remind you that everyone can only go in for 45 seconds. Hahahaha, after entering, I took my mobile phone and shot wildly. I grasped the time and the lights were all bright and dark. The stars flashed. It was very beautiful. I really like this picture. When I did the strategy, I saw this painting very feeling.

The Japanese-style building is in sight. There are many Japanese clothing stores. For me, I will also stroll around to see the scenery. If you park, stop at the S Central Ave roadside meter is the cheapest $5/h.

[Fun] The child is on summer vacation, and he can't play games at home. It's inhumane to go to class and out of class. Then visit the Science and Technology Museum! This mixture of technology and power may be more suitable for boys! [Cost-effective] Good

Chinatown is an area where Chinese people live in cities in other countries. Chinatown was formed because Chinese people immigrated overseas and became a local minority. In the face of the new environment, they needed to work together and lived in one area. Therefore, most Chinatowns are a testimony to the history of overseas Chinese.
