Golden Gate Bridge- the icon of San Francisco. The orange-red colour was meant to be temporary coat to protect steel from corrosion but later found out that the colour contrast well with the waters, complement topography of surroundings, and visible during fog. (for safety of ships)
Easily recognizable old San Francisco cable-car going downhill with spectacular view of the bay. The world’s only cable car system still in operational. I like the idea of trams in city. Cars…buses…trains… all share the same road making the streets looking very lively. Classic trams that glide swiftly in modern city add character to San Francisco streets.
The largest Chinatown compared to elsewhere. The Chinese fortune cracker was invented in San Francisco by Japanese Hagiwara family and then mass produced in Chinatown.
The place where to find Victorian and Edwardian housed with modern skyline as backdrop. San Francisco has 14,000 of these houses with architecture details painted with bright colours to enhance them are also known as “Painted Ladies”
And~ There’s a lovely song for San Francisco also…Here’s the lyrics. Do you know how to sing??
Scott McKenzie
San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There’s a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
Here’s a video below ;)
