Best view point of Golden Gate Bridge @ San Francisco, USA

Golden Gate Bridge is the internationally most recognized symbols of San Francisco. It is probably the most beautiful and most photographed bridge in the world. Completed in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It was a great feat to be able to build the bridge in 1937 which can stand the strong sea current from Pacific Oceans for more than 80 years now. Golden Gate Bridge, heralded as one of the top ten construction achievements of the 20th Century. Any visitor to San Francisco should walk across the bridge, just be sure to pack a sweater as it can get cold and windy here. There were many reading material at Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion which you can read before walking on the bridge. I recommend getting some context and reading about the history of the bridge to truly appreciate it. Below are some of the best location to view the Golden Gate Bridge and how to get there.

Turnagain Arm Drive of Cook Inlet @ Alaska

During my visit to Alaska, I took the 3 day daily tour which pass by this scenic road drive. Everyday, I can see that the view surrounding the Turnagain Arm drive is different due to weather. In all weather, regardless whether it's rainy or sunny, you will get great view. During rainy day, you will see the beautiful clouds covering the top of the mountain. The road to this scenic view of Turnagain Arm is via Seward highway which link Anchorage to Gridwood in the south of Anchorage. By going south, we will pass by the Chugach mountains. The Cook Inlet is a huge body of water estimated to be four miles wide and was named after Captain James Cook who discovered it. When the tide is out, mudflats can be seen. Its dangerous to walk on mudflats as its far more dangerous than quicksand. Many signboards warning the visitors not to walk on the mudflats but there are still casualties yearly. The Turnagain Arm drive is about 80 kilometres along the Seward highway.
