Silicon Valley doesn't really feel like a tourist attraction. I stood in front of Apple's giant ring for a while; the security guard was polite but wouldn't let me in. Google's colorful bicycles were there, but passersby were too busy looking at their phones. In the roadside cafes, people were frowning so deeply at their computers they could trap a mosquito. Driving around, all you see are low-rise office buildings, much like a typical industrial area. But sitting on a park bench near Stanford, watching kids fly kites, was much more comfortable than any of those tech parks.

a must visit if you are an Apple fan. quite in accessible by public transport. plenty of parking if you are driving. there are some unique Apple merchandise that can only be found here. there’s a cafe and an open area on second floor that is nice to hang.

The Winchester Mystery House is also a very distinctive urban building. You can also see many interesting little things in the Mystery House. You can also see many things in this science and technology center, which is also a very interesting and fun thing.

It is not a very big museum, but the exhibits are interesting. There is a souvenir shop downstairs with interesting items to choose from. There are not many people, it is not crowded, it is easy to walk around. There are many rooms inside for exhibits.

[Scenery] The Municipal Rose Garden is a very beautiful garden in San Jose! [Fun] There are paths in the garden. When the roses are in full bloom, the scenery is charming and the fragrance is overflowing. It is a good place for locals to take a walk and relax.

The campus is open and has no walls. There is a large lawn in the middle that is sunken and below the ground. There are parking spaces around it. It is very comfortable to lie on the grass. There are many attractions on the entire campus, and this is just one of them.
