San
Francisco - For Rock, Chopsticks And The Golden Gate by Frank
Wright
San Francisco
receives 14 million-plus visitors annually and, surprisingly, manages to
make each of them feel at home! This is why you call San Francisco, the
city for all. The city is a slice of the world and you can experience different
cultures woven seamlessly into the fabric of San Francisco to provide a
multicultural fiesta for you to revel in. Experience the taste of 'International
orange' at San Francisco!

the Golden Gate bridge with its signature color is one of the most visually
striking structures that you will ever find anywhere. There are several
ways to explore this mile-long Orange. A helicopter ride gives you some
great visuals created by the collage of blue skies and silvery waters coupled
with orange streaks.
Thinking
about playing Nicholas Cage? Hop aboard Alcatraz Cruises and hit the 'Rock',
the prison in Alcatraz Island, and visit the cell houses where big-time
convicts lived and devised a plan to breach the rock. However, the island
has a different group of inmates who keep coming back. They are the pigeon
guillemots, cormorants, and a wide range of avian population that calls
Alcatraz Island home. Pack your bags and head to Alcatraz in early summer
or late winter to see these winged inmates. |

Chopsticks
still remain an enigma to many and so does Mandarin. Everything about China
is wrapped in a veneer of curiosity, but you need not travel all the way
to Shanghai to feel China. Just take a walking tour of charming Chinatown,
right here in San Francisco. It is China all the way the moment you start
the tour. The characteristic red-lanterns, bronze-urns, and of course,
the palate teasers from Chinese restaurants. The walking tours in Chinatown
are not just about entertainment, they are edutaining experiences as you
are exposed to the grand heritage and culture of the community. And you
can wrap it all up with a session of Chinese tea ceremony that is philosophical,
entertaining and, above all, healthy!

After
Chinatown, it is time for your taste buds to be put in the overdrive mode.
You can be anywhere in San Francisco and that doesn't matter at all, right
from American to Vietnamese, goes the festival of taste in San Francisco.
Fisherman's Wharf is the ideal spot to spot, not just salmon and shrimp,
but temples of taste designed to hand over instant salvation of the connoisseurs
of fine food. Chefs here are a blend of Dalis and Picassos, creating traditional
seafood fare with a touch of contemporary taste and flavor; so be ready
to drive your taste buds through uncharted routes here.
San
Francisco arouses your shopping hormones with its shopping Meccas that
feature the widest spectrum of shops that sell everything from branded
biggies to cute little souvenirs that reflect the skills of unknown craftsmen.
With excitement written in bold letters on every stone, even you are going
to 'lose your heart,' just like Tony Bennett! |
