Golden Gate Bridge

The super beautiful Sausalito Island is a small island outside the San Francisco Bay Area. It is known as the Little Santorini and can be reached by boat from Pier 39.

There is a bicycle path that runs across the island. It is recommended to rent a bicycle and ride around the island.

It takes about 30 minutes to ride from the foot of the mountain to the top. After reaching the top, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge from a different angle.

I've been there many times. The bridge itself isn't particularly grand, considering China is currently a construction madman, and its bridges are miles ahead of America's. But the Golden Gate Bridge's historical and cultural heritage is still a bit stronger. It's probably the most-photographed bridge in Hollywood films. Years ago, I saw "Venom" and "Bumblebee," and both featured the bridge. My third-grade son was so happy to see the bridge from the hill on the north shore. I told him this was where Charlie and Bumblebee said goodbye, but he only remembered it as the place where Bumblebee transformed from a Beetle into a Camaro. In short, kids and adults still can't get along. The south shore offers a much closer view of the bridge, and the pier itself is a great vantage point for photos.

The viewing point of the Golden Gate Bridge itself is quite exquisite, but in this kind of weather conditions we don’t ask for too much, it’s good enough to be able to vaguely see the bridge.

Because there are mountains on both sides of the bridge, forming a gorge connecting to the sea, fog continuously flows in from the sea and never dissipates all year round.

The Golden Gate Bridge, which is shrouded in fog all year round, has become a special feature. However, I felt a little disappointed that I didn’t see the international orange tree under the blue sky.

The famous Golden Gate Bridge has become a California landmark and a favorite of Hollywood blockbusters.

Blockbuster films like "San Andreas," "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," "Venom," and "Ant-Man and the Winter Soldier" were all filmed in San Francisco. The majestic Golden Gate Bridge is a staple in these films, but you'll also occasionally see the bustling Fisherman's Wharf and the vintage trams that shuttle through the city.

When I actually stood on a Hollywood set, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality. I've longed to see the world since I was very young, but I never imagined that this day would come much sooner than I expected. I feel incredibly lucky.

The Golden Gate Bridge in the evening, with the setting sun shining obliquely on the bridge, has an unreal beauty.

Overlooking the city from the plane, I happened to see the Golden Gate Bridge built in the 1930s.

It is like a huge steel monster spanning both sides of the Bay Area.

As a fake senior construction engineer,

It is also hard to imagine that at that time people were able to build bridges with a single span of 1,300 meters.

After all, even today, it is not easy to build a cross-sea bridge with this span.

It is almost impossible for me to imagine how a bridge that is still so magnificent even today was built more than 80 years ago. If possible, I would certainly be happy to find some architectural materials from that time.

What is even more legendary is that the Golden Gate Bridge, as one of the pioneers of a modern bridge, has been put on the screen countless times. Most of the scenes we are familiar with are the scenes of car destruction and bridge collapse, including "San Andreas".

Before setting off, I researched Instagram and Google Maps satellite maps and found three photo spots that seemed most reliable. They were all accessible by car and had free parking.

The first one is [Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point] located on the north side of the bridge.

This is the only angle that can face the Golden Gate Bridge directly. Under the golden sunlight, the bridge surface reflects a beautiful halo. If you use a telephoto lens, you will get a very shocking effect.

The second one is [Golden Gate View Point].

Here you need to drive up a winding mountain road, park your car at a roadside parking space, and then walk to the top of the mountain. The terrain here is high and there are not many tourists, which is very suitable for taking pictures.

The third one is the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center.

This is the busiest area for tourists! With only a dozen or so parking spots, you'll have to wait a long time to park. This is more suitable for taking photos of the scenery, not portraits. On the platform leading to the observation deck, there are models explaining the principles of the Golden Gate Bridge's construction, including how it's designed to withstand wind and earthquakes, and how it's reinforced.

As one of the most famous bridges in the world and a miracle of modern bridge engineering, the Golden Gate Bridge, with its international orange color, attracts countless tourists every year. We also came here for its stunning orange color!

It's also quite interesting. The weather has been like this during our stay in San Francisco: it was cloudy before noon, and then it cleared up immediately after noon.

Well, maybe this is fate. I remember when I climbed Huangshan, I came back without knowing what the whole mountain looked like because it rained from beginning to end, haha

When you arrive in San Francisco, a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge is a must. Most people just head to the Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center. However, some people prefer a different perspective. Here are two easily accessible spots: Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point and Battery Spencer. Both require crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.

The magnificent Golden Gate Bridge has many vantage points. If you're staying in Fisherman's Wharf and have plenty of time, I recommend hiking to Fort Point. This is my favorite hiking route and also a great bike ride. Along the way, you can enjoy the ocean views while admiring the Golden Gate Bridge from afar.

Walking along the coast, you can gaze upon the Golden Gate Bridge from the calm waters. You can sit on the embankment and reminisce about the Gold Rush, when so many risked their lives to catch a ferry across Golden Gate Bay to pursue the American dream.

As you walk along the bridge's pedestrian path, accompanied by the sea breeze, you can also feel the bustling scene beneath the thick fog. Every day, the bridge carries the hustle and bustle of traffic, endures the surging sea and fierce winds, and it makes people feel awe and admiration...

Set sail, the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge stretches across the bay. Even the thick fog can't obscure its vibrant red... San Francisco's unique geographical location results in a year-round humid, cool, and foggy climate. The perpetual fog over the Golden Gate Bridge is particularly striking, creating a clear distinction between the bridge and Fisherman's Wharf...

From the shore, you can see the famous Alcatraz Island. The wind can be quite strong, so pack some warm clothes. The bridge actually has another secret that many tourists may not be aware of: it can control traffic flow during rush hour by controlling a small section of lane. If outbound traffic is light, a section of that lane is reduced to two lanes, allowing the inbound lane to be wider, thus alleviating traffic pressure.

You can walk on the bridge, but due to time constraints, I only walked a short distance and didn't go any further.

The Golden Gate Bridge was my first time seeing a true American landmark, and I was a little excited. However, we didn't take many photos before leaving. It was either because it was unsafe or time was running out. We were so tired of hearing that we absolutely couldn't go under the bridge. Also, the area wasn't crowded when we arrived, but the clouds were so thick that the bridge looked completely dark in our photos, with severe backlighting. A different angle would have been better.

Standing on the cruise ship and looking at the red Golden Gate Bridge, although it was a cloudy day, it was still very eye-catching.

Afterwards, we went to a viewing point on the other side of the bridge to admire the Golden Gate Bridge from a different angle. The sun was out, but the bridge was shrouded in a thick layer of fog. I could only see the lowest part of the bridge, so I couldn't take a satisfactory photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. However, the nearby seascape was beautiful. The difference between the photos taken with and without the sun was huge.

Later I went to see it again. This time the viewing location was different from the last time. It was on the other side of the bridge and very close to the bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge looked bright and dazzling under the bright sunshine. It was very majestic. I could watch the Golden Gate Bridge up close and take clear photos!

There are many places to view the Golden Gate Bridge, including Fort Point and Torpedo Wharf in the southeast corner, Battery Boutelle and the nearby beach in the southwest corner, Vista Point in the northeast corner, and Conzelman Road and Battery Spencer in the northwest corner, all of which allow you to see the bridge from various angles.

Please note that there is no toll for driving across the Golden Gate Bridge in the north direction (that is, crossing the bridge from downtown San Francisco to the opposite direction), but there is a toll of US$6 in the south direction. The Golden Gate Bridge is fully electronically charged. Each car does not need to stop, and photos are taken to collect the fees. There is a large sign at the bridge entrance to remind tourists. For tourists, you can pay the toll in advance online or pay it 48 hours after crossing the bridge. Many people have their rental car companies deduct money after they return. In addition to the bridge toll, there are also agency fees and even late payment fees, so you need to pay attention.

We stayed one night in Mill Valley, just a short walk from the Golden Gate Bridge, about 2 kilometers in a straight line. Just stretch your neck and you can see it. The Golden Gate Bridge is a perfect place for lovers to stroll hand in hand through the forest oxygen bar on both sides.

No trip to San Francisco is complete without a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. This iconic landmark has been featured in numerous American blockbusters, including "X-Men," "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," and "Bumblebee." Needless to say, it's a must-see!

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's most famous bridges, hailed as a marvel of 20th-century bridge engineering and considered a symbol of San Francisco. Construction began in 1933 and was completed in May 1937, taking four years and over 100,000 tons of steel at a cost of $35.5 million. The bridge boasts a majestic yet understated design. Its vermilion-colored bridge, resting atop the azure sea and white waves, glows brightly, resembling a giant dragon soaring through the sky, adding to the breathtaking beauty of San Francisco's night sky.

Personally, I think the best spots for photographing the Golden Gate Bridge are Fort Point, south of the bridge, and Battery Spencer, north of the bridge. You can also choose Marshall's Beach, further south, or the Golden Gate Bridge View near Fort Baker, further north. Fort Point, south of the bridge, has more direct sunlight in the morning, but I find summer sunshine in San Francisco so fleeting that direct or backlighting doesn't really matter on cloudy days.



There is a paid parking lot at Fort Point on the south side of the bridge. If you drive there, don't just take photos near the parking lot. There is a very obvious walking path nearby, with flowers blooming on both sides along the way. Below is the visitor center. If you bring a blue passport, you can go there to get a stamp. The view of the bridge from the seaside below is another beautiful sight.



San Francisco is always covered in fog, but most of it hangs over the Golden Gate Bridge, often even shrouding the tops of the bridge's towers in the clouds. But to see the Golden Gate Bridge in the Mist, with the sea below and the bridge towering amidst the fog, is a rare sight. We ended up buying postcards of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Mist to fulfill our wish.

My visit happened to be graduation season... It was truly packed everywhere... but that didn't dampen my experience! The biggest difference between the East and West of the US was that the West was incredibly chaotic and terrifying. Women traveling alone had to be very careful and protective. You never knew which street you'd see a group of drug addicts partying—yes, a whole gang! You never knew which street you'd be robbed by a black man (thankfully, no one robbed me; they probably knew I was broke). The scariest part was... you never knew which Uber you'd get into to meet a creepy guy... This is a special mention! No disrespect to black people; most black people are very friendly, talkative, and lovely. In short, I wouldn't dare go to San Francisco alone again.

After the Golden Gate Bridge was completed on May 27, 1937, the citizens of San Francisco hung a plaque on one of its bridges: "Travelers, please stop and thank Norton I (reigned 1859-1880), Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, who had the foresight to conceive and order the construction of a bridge across the San Francisco Bay."

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark in San Francisco and a marvel of modern bridge engineering. At 2,737.4 meters long, 27.5 meters wide, and 227.4 meters high, it spans the Golden Gate Strait, connecting San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean, serving as a vital transportation hub connecting San Francisco with cities to the north. Designed by bridge engineer Joseph Strauss (1870-1938), the bridge took four years to build, using over 100,000 tons of steel and costing $35.5 million. Its historical significance earned it a co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States in a 2007 documentary of the same name. Its vibrant International Orange color ensures it's visible even in foggy weather, making it a must-see for every San Francisco visitor.

It's very beautiful. Although I have seen many bridges that look very similar, the Golden Gate Bridge has a really good temperament. You can only experience it when you are there.

Whether you can see the scenery you like depends on luck. The Golden Gate Bridge under the clouds also has a unique charm.

The San Francisco landmark is a must-see, it's spectacular. It's just really cold outside of summer.

Very shocking, beautiful, it was raining when I went there, but it was still beautiful

A classic among classics. It is still very shocking to see it in person, especially after watching a lot of American TV series and movies, it is still very exciting to see the real thing.

Take a taxi or drive to the Golden Gate Bridge welcome center, which is a great photo spot. Walk or ride across the bridge to overlook San Francisco and take beautiful photos of the bridge from different angles.

The weather is fine today, the bridge is spectacular, it is the first attraction we visited when we arrived in America!

The Golden Gate Bridge, the most frequently photographed bridge in Hollywood films, is supposed to be a beautiful orange-red. However, the weather was overcast and foggy during my visit, and the Golden Gate Bridge was this color. I briefly wondered if we were looking at the wrong bridge. Years ago, I saw movies like Venom and Bumblebee, both of which featured the bridge, with Bumblebee transforming from a Beetle into a Camaro.

The Golden Gate Bridge, which has been broken countless times in movies, is so famous that there is really no reason not to visit it.

One of the world's largest single-span suspension bridges, it's a symbol of San Francisco. Crossing the bridge from south to north costs $7, which you pay online. Crossing from north to south is free, so plan ahead. If you don't know how to pay, your rental car company can do it for you, but they'll charge a handling fee. At the Visitor Information Center parking lot near the entrance to the bridge, it costs $2 for two hours, paid using a machine. Pay the fee first and leave it in your car where the police can see it.

Haha, I'm biased when it comes to the Golden Gate Bridge. So many memories are held there. Just treat it as an unfamiliar tourist attraction, but it's a must-see. This was my last ray of sunshine of 2017, and I experienced it near the Golden Gate Bridge.

It's truly majestic, a cable-stayed bridge spanning the bay. The red bridge, the blue sea, the shimmering waters of the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the metropolitan area surrounding the bay to the east. The view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the northern hills and various observation decks offers a unique perspective.

Even though I had seen the Golden Gate Bridge in many movies and TV shows before, it was still a different experience to see it in person.

The blue sky and white clouds are particularly beautiful, the transportation is convenient, and there are few parking spaces. It is recommended to take a taxi.

Because of our tight schedule, we arrived late at night and could only drive through to enjoy the night view. We didn't know there was a toll, so we drove twice. Later, after reading the guide, we found out and quickly paid the fee on the official website, which was $8 per trip.

As dusk approached, we concluded our day at San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge offers numerous photo ops, both on the north and south sides. Due to the combination of direct and backlighting, we planned to shoot from two locations on each side of the bridge, each on two separate days. Battery Spencer on the north side is one of the best vantage points for dusk photography. Another location, Fort Point on the south side, was scheduled for the morning of the second day. To reach the north side, you have to cross the bridge. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is a one-way electronic toll (only charged for the north side heading into San Francisco, so there's a round trip fee; if you're only leaving, there's no fee, haha). There are no manual tolls. As we drove there, a sudden, heavy fog descended, even worse than yesterday's approach to San Francisco. A foreboding feeling settled in. As we approached the bridge, visibility was extremely low, and we could barely see the bridge. My sensible, bearded man beside me assured me that our Golden Gate Bridge trip was a lost cause. But I held onto hope, hoping that maybe after crossing the bridge and climbing the mountain, the fog would clear and I'd finally see the bridge. The entire time I was crossing the bridge, I could only see a few nearby steel columns. Even the cars were barely visible, and my heart sank. After crossing the bridge, I had to exit immediately at the first exit (it's easy to miss, so be careful). There was a fork on the right, which also led to Vista Point, the closest viewing point to the bridge on the north shore. We paused briefly to see the bridge up close, but... my heart had already dwindled. Since we were here, we might as well leave. I couldn't let the toll go in vain.

Great architecture! Be sure to go to Qiaobei to take photos, postcard effect~

The largest trade and tourist port on the West Coast of the United States, the city is built on a hillside and has tram access. It's a very beautiful port!

Arriving at the Golden Gate Bridge, we initially planned to park near the city end, but couldn't find any, so we simply drove across. On the other side, there's a large parking lot and observation deck, where we finally found a spot. While this location offers a perfect view of downtown San Francisco across the narrow strait, the sky seemed hazy, making for less than ideal photography. The Golden Gate Bridge itself is truly magnificent, but from this vantage point, we were practically looking towards the bridge, so the angle wasn't particularly good. As we drove back across the bridge back to downtown, we discovered it's a one-way toll system, with license plate registrations charged via electronic cameras. Since we were renting a car, paying the toll was a hassle. It seems we didn't do our homework beforehand; there were still pitfalls to come. Regardless of these annoyances, having fun is the most important thing when traveling!

Finally saw this famous bridge, it is really spectacular

The Golden Gate Bridge is worth the time to truly appreciate. It doesn't matter if you can't grasp its architectural wonders, or if you know very little about its past and present. There are several excellent parks and viewpoints offering panoramic views, all worth stopping for. If you insist on valuing it, it's a mountain range, a peak from the front, and a different peak from the side, with varying heights and perspectives. Perhaps it's because of its vibrant orange color, many directors seem to favor this spot. With the exception of the heartwarming "The Pursuit of Happyness," I remember most scenes involving destruction or sudden jumps, and thanks to these famous scenes, this suicide mecca has become even more prominent in Hollywood. But isn't it nice to simply enjoy the view from above or below the bridge? It's also a great way to learn about the design considerations and mechanics involved. Such intense expression should be preserved on the big screen.

The Golden Gate Bridge offers spectacular views, offering a unique experience at different times and locations. Visitors can choose to visit in the early morning, evening, or even in the fog, stand on the bridge, or take a boat under it.

This is one of the most famous attractions in San Francisco.

After leaving the Palace of Fine Arts, we headed to San Francisco's most famous landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge. It's featured in numerous American blockbusters, including "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," "X-Men," and "Bumblebee." While the drive is short, it involves passing through several tunnels and is surrounded by hills. Upon arrival, the parking lot near the bridge was full, so we drove around twice, snapping a few photos from the car before leaving. Up close, the massive orange-red bridge against the blue sky is quite striking. Of course, if you have more time, you can drive up the bridge to the north side for a better view and a close-up view of the entire bridge. There's no toll from south to north, but a $6 toll applies from north to south. You can also take a ferry to view the Golden Gate Bridge from the water.

According to locals, as a landmark in San Francisco, the bridge is often shrouded in fog due to the local climate, preventing visitors from seeing its true beauty. This was the case on our first visit to San Francisco.

A reminder: There's no toll on the Golden Gate Bridge going out of the city, but there is a toll on the way back into the city, and it needs to be prepaid online. Payment website: *** If you're just checking in and taking photos, there's no need to cross the bridge. Just be sure not to miss the parking lot.

It's a magical place. Here we witnessed the whole process of a bridge disappearing from sight due to fog! It's really beautiful, like a fairyland!

If you don't cross the Golden Gate Bridge, there is a small trail where you can ride a bike. If the weather is good, you can walk along it.

The Golden Gate Bridge was visible all the way, but from a distance, I didn't think it was anything special. After walking for nearly an hour, I finally reached the bridge and felt its majesty, its uniqueness. The red steel structure, against the blue sea, was a strikingly vibrant color. It suddenly struck me that Americans seem to have a special affinity for the color red, especially red against blue. Perhaps it's because their national flag features this color?

Most tourists go to the parks south and east of the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures, but I always go to the hill west of the bridge. It is not only closer to the sea, but also has a unique view.

First look from a distance, then walk closer and check in from various angles.

It is a scenic spot worth visiting. The bridge is very majestic. Parking under the bridge is free of charge. Warships sail through the water from time to time.

The bridge is heading north out of the city. There is no toll for leaving the city, but there is a toll for entering the city. So after visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, we planned to go directly north to Eureka. The bridge has been in use for more than 80 years. A single steel cable weighs 24,500 tons. How did the technology at that time achieve this?

A landmark building, please be sure to come. We went to the park on the lower level, and there is also an observation deck on the upper level. We were short on time so we didn't go. I think it would be great to take pictures of the night view on the upper level! 5-star recommendation

I didn't walk up the Golden Gate Bridge, not only because of the strong sea breeze, but also because I think it's better to see the panoramic view from such a bridge. I highly recommend the two viewpoints north of the strait, one on each side of the road. The first is the Gold Gate viewpoint on the western hill, where the main view is from above. Point Cavallo on the east side offers a panoramic view from the seaside. The views are very different from each other, so I recommend visiting both to experience them all.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a must-see attraction in San Francisco, and there are many photo spots on the bridge for tourists to take pictures.

Watching the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. At first, there were many surfers, but as dusk approached, there was only one small boat.

San Francisco is beautiful from a distance, and it feels restrained and elegant.

The prosperity on the other side of the river

Finally greet the sunset.

It turns out that Kinmen is even more majestic from the other side of the bridge. I always thought this bridge was just a screen idol, but when I actually stand on it, I still feel the earth-shaking awe, like Aquaman's breath, as if his wrath is about to erupt. If you have time, I recommend cycling or walking on the bridge.

The most iconic landmark in the United States. It was still very cold in May.

There are two or three observation decks on each side of the Golden Gate Bridge, which are easy to find by searching Google Maps. I went to a more popular observation deck during the day, but there were very few parking spaces. In the evening, I took a wrong turn and found another observation deck with a large parking lot.

Although the shooting angle is not ideal, the majestic Golden Gate Bridge is still shrouded in fairy-like aura in the night.

Arriving south of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco cityscape and the Golden Gate Bridge, from afar and then close up, came into view one by one! The bridge in the twilight, the waves crashing against the shore, stirring up waves, instantly made us feel so comfortable that we didn't want to leave!

I was also lucky enough to take wedding photos with the bridge as the background. There was a C130 flying in the sky, and Alcatraz Island in the distance was right in front of me!

The Golden Gate Bridge is a symbol of San Francisco and a common prop in American blockbusters. It's been damaged in films like X-Men, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Pacific Rim, and 2012 (Golden Gate Bridge: Why is it always me who gets hurt?). It's even a global suicide site, with Victoria's Secret founder Roy Raymond being one of them. So, if you choose to cross the bridge, keep going straight ahead without hesitation.

There are several scenic spots on both ends of the bridge. For panoramic views, Spencer Battery on the north side and Presidio Park on the south side are recommended. However, please note that the observation deck at Spencer Battery is located northwest of the bridge, so the backlight in the morning can easily cause the bridge's international orange color to appear off-color. Therefore, it's recommended to visit in the afternoon or at sunset. Presidio Park, located south of the bridge, is a large area where you can hike or bike under the bridge and learn about its history at Fort Point.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark building in San Francisco and a miracle of modern bridge engineering. It is a must-see for every tourist visiting San Francisco.

I saw a tip from someone else's guide that Fort Point National Historic Site (or "Jiāobao" in Chinese) is located south of the Golden Gate Bridge and is a great photo spot. You can take in both the people and the bridge. This way, you can visit the bridge without having to worry about paying the toll.

In the early morning, the bridge is mostly filled with runners and cyclists. The trails on the east and west sides of the bridge are open to bicycles at certain times, so please be careful if you want to ride.

After 8:30 in the morning, children walking their kids, dog owners, and sightseeing tour groups started arriving. While many American families have dogs, people are very disciplined, and it's rare to see a dog walking without a leash. This is unimaginable in China.

There is no toll when you leave the city from the Golden Gate Bridge, but there is a toll when you come back.

There is a Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center where parking is available.

In poor light, the sea water is not blue...

The Golden Gate Bridge is shrouded in thick fog, and even Meitu Xiuxiu can’t save you!

The Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful, but the wind was incredibly strong. After 10 minutes of taking photos, I got a headache. I quickly put on my scarf, as my hat would fly off, so everyone should be prepared to keep warm! San Francisco is also often foggy, so the Golden Gate Bridge is often seen shrouded in clouds and fog. If you happen to have good weather and can see the bridge clearly, you really have to treasure it!

When visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, you can't miss the beautiful scenery that changes under various conditions, such as white mist, sunrise, and sunset. Taking a boat tour and sailing past Devil's Island and the Golden Gate Bridge is a unique way to visit the local area!

Best viewing spots: 1. Fort Point on the south side of the bridge, 2. Vista Point near Sausalito, 3. Battery Spencer, a lookout on the west side of the bridge.

●Best photo spots: Under the bridge on the south side, at the visitor center, on the right hand side just after getting off the bridge on the north side, on the mountain on the opposite bank.

The weather is very good and the bridge looks very cheerful.

The wind was so strong on the bridge that I had to wear a hat.

Americans are really good at popular science education. There is a demonstration of the structure of the bridge. If a major earthquake occurs, why will the bridge not collapse again?

A modern marvel of bridges. Photo location: Fort Point, Long Avenue, San Francisco, CA. Free parking. Walk back a bit along the coast for a great photo vantage point.

The sun was setting, and the sky was already dark. Leaving Flower Street, we hurried toward the Golden Gate Bridge, heading straight for the Vista Point on the hill above the bridge's north end. After crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, we began ascending the mountain road. We were surprised by how popular the Vista Point was. The road up was only one lane, and the line started forming at the base. As the sun was about to set, I was still stuck on the mountainside. Parking at the Vista Point was scarce, and after several attempts, I finally managed to snag a spot. I quickly parked, grabbed my camera, and rushed out, but it was too late. Sadly.

The Golden Gate Bridge, towering over the Golden Gate Strait in San Francisco, California, is one of the world's most famous bridges and a marvel of modern bridge engineering. The bridge, over 1,900 meters long, took four years to build, using over 100,000 tons of steel at a cost of $35.5 million. Designed by bridge engineer Joseph Strauss (1870-1938), the bridge's historical significance led to a joint British and American documentary of the same name in 2007.

The most famous landmark building in San Francisco, you must go there. The night view is beautiful both during the day and at night.

The Golden Gate Bridge is majestic and impressive. If, like me, you visit California in the summer, mornings aren't the best time to see it. Fog often shrouds the bridge, making it completely invisible. This is because San Francisco experiences similar temperature fluctuations year-round, with summer and winter temperatures comparable. The only difference is that summer rain is rare, but warm, humid air from the Pacific Ocean constantly blankets San Francisco Bay, creating a constant "hide-and-seek" experience for the Golden Gate Bridge. Visiting in the afternoon increases the chances of the thick fog being gradually dispersed by the strong sea breeze, revealing the Golden Gate Bridge's true beauty.

Standing beside the magnificent bridge, we remain deeply impressed by the courage of the decision-makers and builders of that era. Facing this historical miracle, we are reminded of the people who built it, and our imaginations run wild, filled with emotion. Time flies, and those outstanding engineers and builders are long gone, but they have left behind this great historical monument.

The Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world's largest single-span suspension bridges, was constructed using over 100,000 tons of steel and is a symbol of San Francisco. Construction began in 1933 and was completed in May 1937, taking four years and costing $35.5 million. The bridge's design is both majestic and understated.

As one of the landmarks of San Francisco, the Yuanwang Bridge is very spectacular, and the red bridge is very eye-catching in the sea.

A name straight out of the textbooks, one of the symbols of San Francisco. We set out very early and there were no tourists when we got there, so we could quietly watch the Golden Gate Bridge from early morning to the bright sunshine, and the lake was also exceptionally calm.
