My travels abroad (4) Trip to America (2)

After leaving eastern United States, we flew to Los Angeles in west. In west, we mostly visited some famous places in Los Angeles, in addition, we went to Grand Canyon and Las Vegas by car, and on way we stopped at Hoover Dam. The only pity is that I did not have time to go to Yellowstone Park.

In Los Angeles, we mostly visited Universal Studios Hollywood, Disneyland, Hollywood Walk of Fame, saw thousands of star-shaped medals with star handprints, and walked outside famous Beverly Hills. Also head to Santa Monica Beach, closest beach to downtown Los Angeles and end of Route 66 in North America, for some beautiful scenery. We all took bus to Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. The bus driver is Chinese, rides alone, and also acts as a guide, rides along road, introduces scenery along road, arranges meals and accommodation upon arrival at destination. With one person, everything is arranged correctly, organized, skillfully and simply. It was different from our country at time. In same situation, there were two people in China, one driver and one guide.

On way to Grand Canyon, driver horns car and writes down in advance scenic spots to pass, scenery on road, and things to look out for. On road, he can focus on driving, but on road, introductions are many.

The Grand Canyon National Park, a natural world heritage site known as one of seven natural wonders of world, is located on Kaibab Plateau in northwest Arizona, USA. According to information, history of development of earth is engraved on walls of Grand Canyon - about a third of history of changes in earth's crust is deeply recorded on walls, and rocks at bottom of valley have experienced about two billion years of changes. , which is half age of earth. Although Grand Canyon is not deepest canyon in world, its magnificence and stunning scenery is there, it is one of must-see national parks in USA.

At Grand Canyon, you will experience splendor and majesty of Grand Canyon when you arrive at scene. The scene in front of you will definitely shock you. In depths of a large crack that opened like magic an ax is raging Colorado River. The guide told us that at bottom of canyon temperature in some places can reach over 40 degrees Celsius, and some residents live there.

On way to Las Vegas, we also visited Hoover Dam on Colorado River. It was thanks to this dam that new city of Las Vegas was born. It is said that when Hoover Dam was built, many workers lived there. Water, electricity and railroads provided conditions for birth of a new city. You can say that Hoover Dam is mother of Las Vegas. Las Vegas, a desert city located in state of Nevada, USA, strikes me as rather luxurious, rich and luxurious, luxurious and trendy. All hotels are luxurious, and bottom of each hotel is connected, andThey are duchans of various forms, in which there are all kinds of utensils and equipment. Everything you know about bokai and like can be seen here. Las Vegas has a very characteristic architecture. All hotels have different shapes in front of them. They are all famous scenic spots in world. They are built in miniature, such as Sphinx and Eiffel Tower. There are miniature versions here.

In Las Vegas, day or night, if a man walks along road, whether alone or in company, someone will definitely send a postcard with a photo, phone number and different poses. There are newspapers and maps in hotel room. Everything. From time to time people will insert maps into slot of door. The attraction is really not small.

In Las Vegas, I was most impressed by musical fountain in front of Bellagio hotel. The fountain is located in artificial lake of Bellagio hotel. A large number of underwater pipes and more than 1000 nozzles. , performing once every 15 minutes at night, can spray water to a height of 24 floors, accompanied by more than 4,000 lights and music, it is very spectacular. During performance, lights flash alternately in time with music, the fountain rises and falls, or sways from side to side like a long dragon, like a girl dancing gracefully, which really makes people linger.
