Day 1: San Francisco
Stunning views of the Pacific coastline with jagged cliffs set against a backdrop of blue skies and rushing waters; when encountered with this postcard scenery, you know you are in San Francisco. This avant-garde metropolis is the epitome of the American "melting pot”. Rows of elegant houses, the famous cable cars, clusters of ethnic neighborhoods, and the colorful waterfront all add to the distinctive international flavor of the city.
For a taste of this international flavour, this evening visit China Town. Outside of China, San Francisco boasts the largest Chinese colony in the world. It is literally a city within a city where an ancient culture from the other side of the world survives and flourishes with remarkable authenticity.
