As well as the cable car and colorful Chinatown. The San Diego zoo is world famous, with a marine theme Park and a wildlife Park nearby. Anaheim is home to the famous Disneyland and the equally famous Santa Barbara.
San Francisco is also famous. The weather here is not the same as in the same Los Angeles.
