Russian Hill

The characteristic scenery of the mountain can be said to be one of the representatives of San Francisco's scenery. The sloping hillside, the scattered villas, the clanging cable car museum passing by, and the bright sun shining on the blooming street flowers, it is quiet and beautiful. The most famous scenic spot in the mountain is Jiuquhua Street. Its name is actually Lombard St.. In order to make it easier for vehicles to go up and down this steep slope, this street was transformed into 8 curves, and then connected to the roadside. Planting hydrangeas has transformed into today's flower street. The small park on Vallejo Street at the top of the hill has a small plaque commemorating the original Russian cemetery. Views of the San Francisco Bay Area from the top of Russian Hill include views of the Oakland Bay Bridge, Marin County and the Golden Gate Bridge in several directions. Russian Hill is home to the renowned San Francisco Art Institute, located on Chestnut Street between Jones Street and Leavenworth Street. Another well-known feature of Russian Hill is that there are many pedestrian-only trails, such as Macondray Lane and FallonPlace, which have beautiful scenery. Alice Marble Tennis Courts are 4 hard courts at the top of this affluent neighborhood. From here you can see the bay and North Beach, but it is not suitable for playing tennis on a windy day. Adjacent to the tennis court is a basketball court. The San Francisco Gondola Powell Hyde Line stops nearby.
