The Aircraft Carrier Museum Midway is well worth a visit, with rich exhibitions and high historical value, especially the flight deck and veterans explanation. The experience is very interesting and educational. Although there are many people during peak hours, the overall arrangement is reasonable and it is one of the attractions that San Diego cannot miss.

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。

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.

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.

Next to the Midway Island aircraft carrier, it is quite interesting to learn the story behind the huge statue. The scenery is also very good, and the California sun is swaying on the sea.

[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.
