The Getty Center is not just a museum, but a viewing platform. Located on a hill in the suburbs, it has a very beautiful view overlooking the entire Los Angeles panoramic view. Up and down the mountain, all take the small train, the small train is about five minutes long, free. 🤭

There are so many hiking trails with great views of city. It’s an awesome place to spend 1 to 2 hours walking around and be mesmerised by the parabolic views of Los Angeles from the terrace.

It is worth playing, experienced a different feeling, the exhibition hall design is very good, each exhibition area has artistic conception. The science and technology museum next door must go, the same area needs to buy tickets, spaceships, aviation launch pads, scene exhibitions.

Long Beach is a city in southern California on the West Bank of the United States. By population ranking, Long Beach is the second largest city in the Greater Los Angeles area (with a population of about 500,000), after Los Angeles, and the fifth largest city in California.

Located at the Venetian Hotel, this wax museum is relatively small compared to others. There are not many things, mainly American celebrities. But it’s good to come out and visit the Venetians, and you can finish it in almost an hour.

[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

Don't miss a beautiful outdoor pool here at the Getty Villa Museum, it's very beautiful. Outdoors and flowers become a beautiful landscape. It also reflects the wealth of the villa.

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.
