Global Food Tour

Chapter 384 Strange Rock.

The young man climbing high on China Rock and looking far into the distance looked very high-spirited. Zhang Feng couldn't help but take two more photos, finally feeling a little angry.

Next to it is the [Bird Rock Hunt Course], which used to be a famous venue for horse hunting and cross-country obstacle course in the 19s, and is now the coastal golf course of the Monterey Peninsula Country Club.

[Bird Rock] Going down China Rock is one of the landmarks of 17 Mile Bay, Bird Rock.

The man with the dog on the beach looked at the distant ocean together, Zhang Feng was a little amazed by their tacit understanding.

As the name suggests, Bird Rock is full of this kind of bird, that kind of bird, that kind of bird, that kind of bird...

Don't forget to interact with seabirds at Bird Rock.These birds are not afraid of people at all, they snatch food like crazy, are they robbery? !Grab Zhang Feng to doubt life.

After turning around a lot, Zhang Feng finally found a beautiful one.

Of course, there are also many naive rock squirrels (Rock Squirrel) in Bird Rock.

The ground squirrels in Bird Rock crawl around in the crevices of the rocks.It's all over the street, looking for people to eat everywhere, it's really shameless to eat, but fortunately, it's cute and not annoying.

If you want to see seabirds, harbor seals and sea lions on Bird Rock, you can also use the coin-operated binoculars provided by the beach.The reefs are full of seabirds, and there are also many seabirds on the seashore. You can also watch the beautiful scenery of various coastal birds flying across the sea.

The next attraction is【Cypress Point】

Cypress Point is also the main spot for sea otters on the 17-mile coast, especially in spring, when sea otters gather on the shore, it is a spectacle.Behind the lonely cypress trees is [Spy Glass Hill Golf Course], which is located in the green forest and has beautiful scenery. It is known as one of the best forty golf courses in the United States.

The most famous scenic spot on the central coastline of California is the [Lone Cypress] at No. 16 scenic spot.Admiring the 250-year-old tree on the reef is also a must-see attraction for the tour bus of the sightseeing group.This "Lone Cypress" has a registered patent and trademark. As long as the images related to this Lone Cypress are all owned by [17-mile Drive Management Company], unauthorized advertising or commercial use is prohibited.

The lone cypress has no earth-shattering achievements. People travel thousands of miles to appreciate its beauty. Its green branches stand upright on the raised cliffs, as if gazing at the other side of the ocean.Although it was almost blown down by the strong sea wind at one time, the conservation staff carefully reinforced the auxiliary supports with steel cables, so that the lone trees growing on the barren rocks were preserved, allowing later tourists to continue to admire the ingenious workmanship of the Creator and nature.

When Zhang Feng went there, it happened that the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to cast a layer of golden light on the reef, making the lone cypress on the cliff even more green and tall.The standing solitary cypress is just like a strong warrior who is not afraid of wind and waves, as if he wants to stand this moment of glory for eternity.

[Pescadero], the lush succulent green vegetation on the edge of the sea rocks and the sporadic pink flowers dotted in it make the monotonous coastline colorful.Here, tourists can always find a good angle to appreciate Carmel Bay and Stillwater Bay.

[Ghost Tree] is the last stop of today's 17 Mile Bay itinerary.In addition to the lone cypress, the ghost tree is also a famous landmark of 17 Mile Bay.The tangled tree trunks, like a natural maze, have become the signature landscape of Seventeen Mile Road, and are the favorite shots of calendars and postcards.

In the evening, as night fell, the sky gradually darkened, and the endless sea gradually changed from blue to dark blue, and then became dark blue again, and the outlines of the surrounding scenery began to blur and fade as the twilight fell.Quietly enjoy the breeze from the Pacific Ocean in California, stand on the somewhat steep rocky shore, and finally gaze at the charming 17-Mile Bay at dusk.This glance must be so affectionate, because, for this beautiful coastline that fascinates Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng is really reluctant to say goodbye at this moment.

Accommodation: [Riverside Campground & Cabins]

Occasionally staying in a campsite is also a pretty good experience.Zhang Feng's suggestion is that during the self-driving trip on California Highway [-], it is not necessary to live in hotels every day, and occasionally live in camps. At night, you can walk in the forest, listen to the gurgling stream, and look up at the magical stars in the sky.

【Big Sur】

Big Sur comes from the Spanish "el sur grande", which means the big south.Big Sur is the only natural landscape selected in the west of the United States among the 50 tourist attractions (50 Places of a Lifetime) selected by [National Geographic (National Geographic)] (the other is [Grand Canyon Grand Canyon] 】).

[Big Sur] in a broad sense is a large area, from the south of [Carmel (Carmel)] to [San Simeon], it is the most shining section of the picturesque Highway 1★.This 90-mile winding mountain coastline is captivating with its pristine natural beauty and magnificent scenery.

In a narrow sense, [Big Sur] can be regarded as the abbreviation of the California State Park [Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park], located in the [Los Padres National Forest] on the east side of Highway 1 on the central coast of California.
Big Sur contains four state parks, namely: [Point Lobos State Reserve (Point Lobos)], [Andrew Molera State Park (Andrew Molera)], [Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park (Pfeiffer Big Sur) )], and [Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park (Julia Pfeiffer Burns)] four state parks.
