    "Santa Monica Beach, a gem set in the California sun, caressed the heartstrings of every traveler with its endless charm. It is like a delicate watercolor painting, slowly spread on the vast Pacific Ocean, a mile long golden sand beach, under the sunset glow of warmth and softness. Here, every fine sand seems to carry the story, and every wave of the light is the whisper of nature. Walking along this romantic coastline, you can feel time as if it has slowed down, people forget the hustle and bustle, and indulge in this tranquility and beauty. Santa Monica Beach is not only a breathtaking landscape, but also a vibrant and fun paradise. From the first rays of sunshine in the morning to the low-hanging stars at night, whether it is the passion challenge of surfers or the dream castle that children build on the beach, it constitutes a unique landscape. The historic Santa Monica pier, like a kind old man, quietly waited for the sea. As night fell, the bright lights on the Ferris wheel and the stars reflected, as if leading people into a dreamy fairy tale world. The surrounding area, the wisdom and tranquility of the chess park, the splendor and leisure of the Palisade Park, all add endless cultural heritage and natural charm to this beach. Santa Monica Beach, a place that people yearn for, it uses beauty and romance to weave the most tender memories in the hearts of every visitor."

There are many restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops near the beach, and South Beach is also known as "Party Beach", and the night here is lively and colorful.

    Highlights: The Port of San Diego is located at the southern end of the city of San Diego, where the water is deep and the port is wide. It is the largest military port of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet and a world-famous military port. This is where aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are frequented and parked. Here you can overlook the large and new 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States - the "Nimitz" and "Reagan" nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. There is also the decommissioned "Midway" aircraft carrier also moored here, which has now been opened as an aircraft carrier museum for people to visit. Coming to the military port, all kinds of warships and jagged masts and forts come into view. On the harbor side, you can enjoy red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky, modern high-rise buildings and white sails in the sea. There is a group of statues on the shore that actually records when the war ended, and everyone has real feelings. In this group of statues, there are fighter pilots who just got off the plane, female field nurses kneeling on the ground, soldiers with crutches and broken legs, and wounded in wheelchairs. There are sailors, marines, ordinary adults and children. There were smiles on their faces, and there was no trace of post-war fatigue. Their eyes seemed to show hope. The "Kiss of Victory" sculpture. You can go up to take pictures, but because the statue is too tall, people who approach often only reach the bottom of the skirt. Behind the "Kiss of Victory" statue is the USS Midway Museum, which you can visit if you are interested. The deck of the aircraft carrier is very wide, and many types of aircraft are parked. And there is a hotel on the shore of the military port, which stands by the sea. The officers and soldiers who go ashore usually go to eat and drink together, which is also a must-see scenery. If time is limited, you can stroll around Midway Island, there are some characteristic shops nearby. If you have more time, you can come to another part of the harbor, here is a large private yacht marina, you can take a leisurely sightseeing here. If you don't want to move around too much, you can also find a cafe around the port to sit, blowing the sea breeze, and spend the afternoon relaxing like this. Stroll through the harbor, decorated with quaint sailboats, wanderers playing guitar and singing, seagulls soaring in the wind, and the Colorado Bridge across the sea in the distance. The Port of San Diego at dusk is particularly beautiful. You can also sit on the carousel in the square while watching the sunset.

    "Don't be too beautiful blue hole, come to Saipan must not miss it, some people will feel unsafe, will feel that the water is too cold, in fact, the moment you see the blue hole, everything is worth it, play too happy"
    Saipan
    12.6 km from downtown Saipan
    Caves
    Highlights: The Blue Hole is located in the northeast corner of Saipan. It is a natural cave connected to the Pacific Ocean and a cave diving site. The sea water shimmers like a cat's eye blue, and the breathtaking electric blue sea water and the natural stalactite scenery are beautiful. Internal and external environment The blue hole looks like a dolphin with an open mouth, and inside is a huge stalactite cave. There are two natural swimming pools in the blue hole, which are connected to the outer ocean through an undersea channel, and light penetrates into the hole through the water channel from the outer sea , The blue hole pool can reveal a light blue luster, which is quite beautiful. This penetrating electric blue is also the origin of the name of the blue hole. For those experienced deep-sea divers, it will be an unparalleled experience, so it is known as the second largest cave diving destination in the world, after the Blue Hole in Belize. Diving conditions The depth of the Blue Hole can reach up to 47 meters, so only those with an AOW diving certificate can dive deep. However, those who do not have a certificate can conduct experiential snorkeling under the guidance of an instructor. Most of the people diving here are Japanese, and there are some Europeans. Generally, tourists come here for a simple snorkeling except for a look. Because there is no diving license, very few tourists come to deep dive here. If you have a diving license, you can enter the blue hole through the LetsdiveGuam diving club. In addition, there are more than 100 steps paved with small stones to go down from the top to the blue hole. The steps are somewhat notched, steep, and very slippery. When you get to the bottom, you will see a blue sea in the cave pouring into it. Due to the influence of the tide, sometimes the level in the cave is still without waves, and sometimes it is undulating, so you must be very careful whether you are swimming or diving in the cave.

    "Came on September 26, 2017. Highway 1 self-driving tour is an important way to visit Western/California tourism in the United States, especially the coastal section near Monterey County. It is the best and easiest part of the self-driving tour. There are more than ten viewing spots on a section of the road, and there are clear signs, you can prepare a map, or drive directly down the road. This road not only has natural landscapes (such as the raging Relentless Sea), magical animal paradise (such as Bird Rock and Seaal Rock), but also the relics of the ancestors who broke into the west (China Rock), setting up everyone to pile stones (in Spanish Bay)...Although it has been open along the coast, In fact, the scenery everywhere is not the same. The whole journey is stopped and stopped, 4 or 5 hours are needed, there are not many restaurants along the way, everyone is best to bring their own dry food."

    "Came on September 25, 2017. There are many public beaches along Highway 1, and the Half Moon Bay area is probably the best. It is a long beach stretching 7 or 8 kilometers; the sand is flat and the sand is small, so the sand surface is wide and flat. Add to that the beautiful arc of Half Moon Bay, the whole beach is very popular. The only fly in the ointment is that there are few amusement facilities here, and there are naturally not many tourists. So, it is more suitable for strolling, daze and sunbathing, and the scenery is not bad."

    Highlights: Half Moon Bay State Beach stretches for four kilometers and is one of the most famous beaches in the area. The beach here can provide tourists with sunbathing, fishing, picnics, etc., everything is available, and horseback riding on the beach is also a novel experience. There is also a campsite specially set up for camping, where tourists can stay, which is very convenient.
