Continue walking towards Bellagio. Listening to the musical fountains at the Music Lake is the best way to relax. Today I finally heard the classic song "Time Say Goodbye". When the melody sounded, the splashes of water sprayed by the rows of fountains were particularly shocking, one after another, one wave higher than the other, and the most spectacular wave was at least 30 meters high.

This time I went into the botanical garden on the first floor of the Bellagio again. Just like last time, I still thought that all the flowers, plants and trees were too bright. I remember that when I first came here, Yun Luo thought they were fake potted plants, but when I walked in, I found that they were all real. It was a bit unbelievable. I couldn't even find a withered or worm-eaten leaf.

The hotels in Las Vegas are really trying hard to create such a fairy-tale world with fresh plants and flowers.

We left Las Vegas in the morning and headed west to Death Valley National Park. After doing some research, we found out that this is the largest national park in the continental United States (Yunluo had always thought that Yellowstone was the largest). It is so large that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu actually spent most of the day wandering around inside and only hurriedly walked past some of the viewpoints.

When I arrived at the visitor center, I bought a ticket and got a map. At that time, I didn't know how to choose or how to go. I calculated the time and planned a few places to visit. The first one was of course Badwater Basin, which is full of saline-alkali land and vast desert, exuding the breath of death.

There should be no life on such a surface. This is also the lowest point on land in the Western Hemisphere. The lowest point on land in the Eastern Hemisphere is the Dead Sea at the border between Jordan and Israel. <. The rocks of Fenghua are in different colors, which is very beautiful. There is also the first viewing point when entering Death Valley National Park, which is full of bright yellow rocks, which are folded on the ground.

In addition, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu's car was also stopped by a police car here and issued a ticket. This was the only time I had to deal with traffic police during this trip to the United States. The situation at the time was like this: Death Valley is vast and sparsely populated with few vehicles. Coincidentally, the car in front was driving neither fast nor slow, and it always felt a little slow if I didn't overtake.

The line for overtaking was always solid, and Jiang Ying could not help but step on the accelerator to overtake. Then he drove a little too fast, and suddenly he saw a police car honking at Yunluo and Yan Chenyu. They didn't know where the police car came from, so they pulled over to the side of the parking lot, and the police slowly walked over.

Yunluo was responsible for translating and told them what the police wanted to say: 1. Overtaking on a solid line. 2. Speeding. 3. If you are not satisfied, you can come to the police car to watch the video. You can also appeal. Jiang Ying knew that he had violated the rules and did not argue. He waited obediently for the police to register his information and issue a ticket. In the end, the ticket would be mailed to his home.

Then he paid with a credit card, estimated to be at least $500. When the police returned to the police car to handle some operations, Jiang Ying got out of the car to smoke. A kind Korean tourist next to him reminded him that when the police give you a ticket, you'd better stay in the car honestly, and it's not wise to get out of the car. Jiang ignored it.

I guess the police were still polite. Seeing that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were Chinese tourists, they knew that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu would not carry guns or anything. Otherwise, the police would usually ask you to stay in the car. Keep your hands on the steering wheel so that he can always see them.

For example, the famous Dante Viewpoint. This national park is very large. If you want to visit it properly, you need at least three days. It is best to come in winter. Because it will be really hot in summer! Death Valley National Park is not far from San Francisco and Los Angeles, and it is easy to get to next time you go to the west coast of the United States.

I should definitely come to Death Valley National Park again, at least to see the “walking stones”.

At around 2pm, when I was already hungry, I stopped at a gas station not far from the sand dunes on Highway 190 and found a supermarket. There was a Filipino auntie who was very nice. At first, she thought Yunluo was Filipino, but when she found out that Yunluo was Chinese, she was not shy and started talking about her American dream. "Good!" She enthusiastically put instant rice in the microwave to heat it up, and smiled as she watched Yunluo eat it happily. However, the reason why the material living conditions in the United States are so superior now.

Part of the reason is that it disproportionately occupies a considerable portion of the world's resources.

They drove along Highway 190 and then changed to Highway 195 to leave Death Valley. It was already evening when they arrived in Helendale. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could not find the Bottle Forest mentioned in the guide, so they returned home disappointed. They drove for more than an hour at night and arrived at San Bernardino, a big city east of Los Angeles. They used GPS to locate a Panda Express fast food restaurant to look for Chinese food.

After eating, we found a motel to stay in. We were very tired today. The two friends decided to return the car in Los Angeles and drive Highway 1 to San Francisco. This sudden decision caught Yunluo off guard because Yunluo's last flight was from San Francisco, and Yunluo and Xiaojie were waiting for Yunluo in Tracy near the San Francisco Bay Area.

Yunluo had no choice but to take the Greyhound bus to Tracy, but with the extra time, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu planned to go to San Diego. It turned out to be a very wise choice, because San Diego was definitely the most Latin town they visited along the way.

The most famous thing in San Bernardino is obviously the world's first McDonald's, which is now the McDonald's Museum, with various objects and photos from different eras, showing the growth of this fast food chain. This store is not marked on the map, and I drove around and asked many people before I found it.

Yunluo puts two photos here. If you want to find this museum, just take the photos and ask people. Generally, local people know it.

After visiting the McDonald's Museum, we did not go straight to Los Angeles along Route 66, but went to San Diego in the south. This Latin town with a Central American style is so stylish. There are many attractions in San Diego, such as the famous giant statue of the kiss at the end of World War II and the aquarium.

But Yunluo and Yan Chenyu didn't go there, but chose to walk around Balboa Park and San Diego. There is a cigar shop in San Diego. As soon as I walked into the store, I was overwhelmed by the strong smell of cigars. It was so refreshing! I took two photos of the boss. Yunluo felt that these were very rare and stylish portraits taken in the United States. When Yunluo bought cigars.

He asked for ID, but Yunluo didn't take her passport with her in the car, so he had to pay lip service and promised Yunluo that she was 18 years old. Americans are still very principled. Unless you look like a grandfather, even middle-aged people have to show ID to prove their age. The boss saw that Yunluo was definitely not a minor.

He asked Yunluo how old she was. Yunluo said that while he was holding a cigar, he suddenly asked Yunluo what year she was born. Yunluo answered quickly, and he smiled and said, "You passed the test!"

There are also old stables, post stations, flower shops, and restaurants with skeleton brides standing at the door to welcome people, which are very suitable for taking pictures. There is a Mini World Village near Balboa Park, which consists of many small houses with small courtyards. Each house represents a country. And it is the most distinctive house architectural style of that country.

Including China, I feel that the houses in European countries are similar, but the houses in China are unique and highly recognizable. In the late afternoon, I went to a famous beach and found that the seagulls here are very fat. Finally, I drove from San Diego to Los Angeles along California Highway 1.

We felt the horror of the evening rush hour traffic jam. Even though Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were in a group and could use the inner lane of the carpool, there were still times when we couldn't move. We envied the freedom of the roaring motorcycles passing by. We arrived in Los Angeles after sunset, and we took a long detour to get to the pier at the end of Route 66 near Santa Monica Beach.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Parking nearby is expensive, but there is a large parking lot north of the pier that charges slightly cheaper.

There is controversy about where the end of Route 66 is. There is a small house on the pier marking its location as the end, but Yunluo personally feels that the end of the pier is more interesting. There are many historical stories about this legendary road on the blackboard, including a photo of Rell, the prototype of Forrest Gump, when he finally ran here.

In the movie, Forrest Gump also ran here and looked back. Looking at the endless Pacific Ocean, the dark water at night, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks, Yunluo suddenly felt empty and a little melancholy. He had just finished this legendary road. Looking back, he felt like he was in a dream, and it didn't feel real.

Looking back on this journey, the most impressive thing is Monument Canyon, which is a dream come true. Next time, if I have the chance, I still hope to walk this road with interesting partners, old friends, or loved ones. The companions who travel with me are so important.

They continued to stay in Los Angeles, while Yunluo took the night Greyhound bus to Tracy in the Bay Area to find Yunluo and Xiaojie. They had a casual last meal and started counting the money. Comrade Lao Yu started to haggle with Yunluo again and even threw a tantrum and said that he would not take Yunluo to the bus station and let Yunluo go by herself. Yunluo said that Yunluo had paid for the car rental today.

Yun Luo had the right to use it, so he immediately lost his temper and reluctantly drove Yun Luo to the Greyhound bus station. When they left, they were still like strangers and just said goodbye casually. (A great event where a cool phone is waiting for you!
