California Sightseeing

Those who were in California, know this is a wonderful place for vacations! This is Las Vegas with its casinos and luxury hotels; this is San Francisco and Los Angeles! San Francisco is a unique and breathtaking metropolis, which boasts sights that have no analogues in the world. Huge choice of entertainment for any traveler (historical museums, art galleries, theaters, shops, restaurants, etc.) reflects the ethnic diversity and cultural richness of California. Los Angeles is a huge metropolis in the south-western part of the California coast. Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by the Spaniard Felipe de Neve, and until 1848 was part of Mexico, as the affluent white settlement of immigrants, Chinese laborers and wealthy Mexican ranchero. But the town began to grow rapidly after the completion of the transcontinental railroad in the late 1880's, becoming in a center of culture, science, technology, international trade, becoming the home of world-renowned film, television and music studios, one of the richest cities of California and the country. Hollywood in Los Angeles is a center of industry, film and television of USA. The date of its foundation can be considered in 1880, when businessman Harvey Wilcox registered his ranch under the name of Hollywood and began to sell land contracts. Hollywood has merged with Los Angeles in 1910, and the first film studio came here in 1911. Angels Walk is a park dedicated to the town, its history, values and people: the fountains, library, adorned with a golden pyramid on top, headless statue of a businessman in an office building, a historic railroad - these are just some of the sights of the park that may interest the curious traveler.

There is the lowest point in the geographical level In California, located in Death Valley and the highest mountain in the U.S. - Mount Whitney. There are about 8,000 lakes in California. Lake Tahoe lays in the Sierra, on the border with California, Nevada. It contains salt minerals like many desert lakes in the eastern Sierras. This is a small part of all the sights of California. I can tell about them a lot of time because it is a wonderful place and the "paradise" for many travelers. Therefore, many tourists choose exactly California sightseeing tours.
