The last day is to go to San Francisco. It is recommended to leave at 8 am. In the morning, we punched in the legendary Alcatraz Island. At noon, we had lunch at No. 99 at Fisherman’s Wharf (near Alcatraz Island, within walking distance) and ate local signature seafood Thick soup. In the afternoon, go to the Roman Art Palace to experience the ancient Roman civilization, take a jingle car, and experience the way San Francisco traveled for a hundred years, and then turn to Union Square. Because the flight back to China was a late flight, the time was more ample, so I took some pictures of literary and artistic children in the gay capital Castro district and the mosaic art ladder. Although unwilling, the last day of the trip really ended in such a way.
Punch attractions
1. Alcatraz
Alcatraz Island, commonly known as Alcatraz Island, comes from the book “Uncle Sam’s Alcatraz Island”, which made it famous by the movie “Jesus Mission” as its backstory. The early lighthouse was built as a military fortress, and it was the Alcatraz Federal Prison from 1933-1963.
The villains held here include Chicago’s “Godfather” Al Capone, murderous but talented and talented, “bird man” Robert Stroud, who is extremely researched on birds, and cold-blooded “Machine gun” killers Kelly (George Kelly), Qian Xuesen, etc. The movie The Rock was shot with this island in the background.
The reason they were sent to prison here is because the island is surrounded by cold waves and fierce bloodthirsty sharks. It is impossible to escape from prison. Looking through the prison’s iron windows, you can vaguely see the beauty and vitality, which is just another cruel punishment for them.
Today, Alcatraz Island has been opened as a sightseeing place. The desolate cell, the reproducible prisoner sound effects, and the quirky escape scene allow tourists to see the mysterious forbidden area of the year. Although Alcatraz has a spooky history, it is also a sanctuary for wild animals, attracting brown pelicans, night herons, western seagulls and many other species of birds to roost.
When I think of going to Alcatraz Island, I can only arrive through Pier 33. The Fisherman’s Wharf is not too far away from Pier 39. I can also choose to walk. It takes about a few minutes to arrive. Alcatraz tickets are very popular. It is recommended to buy in advance. Oh.

Alcatraz
Alcatraz Island is a small 22-acre, rocky island. This was the place where the US federal government used to imprison prisoners who committed serious crimes. The villains that have been shut down here include Chicago’s “godfather” Kabon, the murderous but talented “birdman” Strauder and the cold-blooded “machine gun” killer Kelly. Prisoners can only look at the endless life of San Francisco through the prison window, and accept another cruel spiritual punishment. Today, the entire island retains its original prison style as much as possible, and there are bird parks, museums, bookstores and other facilities on the island. In the shops on the island, there are memoirs of prisoners whose sentences have expired, and they all claim that it is a “painful experience that will last forever.” Although this island has a gloomy history, it is also a sanctuary for wild animals. Many kinds of birds inhabit here, and it is also a good place for tourists to contemplate.

5. Castro District + Mosaic Art Ladder
①Castro District
The Castro District is the gay capital of the world. It used to be an insular and insulated place, but today its tolerance and freedom make it a moving community in San Francisco, and an indispensable sight on San Francisco’s postcards. Rainbow flags fluttered in front of the windows of Victorian houses and lined up at the intersection of steep slopes. The shops on both sides of the street have a variety of colorful signs. These are special shops for gays, gay restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. This is a block of love and freedom.
Castro District
Castro Street used to be a rough place insulated from development. Today, however, undulating steep slopes, wavy rainbow flags, and neat Victorian houses have sculptured it into San Francisco’s most moving neighborhood. Castro is not only a holy place recognized by homosexuals worldwide, but also an indispensable sight on San Francisco’s postcards. When I come to this street, there are mostly same-sex couples who kiss on the street. Freedom and openness are the only attitudes to life here. No matter what your sexual orientation, as long as you step into this field, you will enjoy unlimited indulgence and tolerance.
