Leavenworth & Beach Street - The Cannery

In the corner of Leavenworth and Beach streets, there is beautiful and old place named The Cannery. It used to be one of the largest peach cannery in the whole world. And today, it has became a famous landmark featuring lots of exquisite shops, restaurants, offices and live music. The European style of architecture also gives this cannery a special and exotic look.

Mission Street, Part Three

This is The Women's Building in The Mission. It looks very artistic. And people who works in it are very nice too. I was there with classmates doing a piece of news about women's rape, it went very well. And they said their mission is to provide both women and girls with tools and resources they need to achieve full and equal participation in society. The Mission district is definitely a fun place to visit, you can find special stores to shopping, very nice Mexican food to eat, cute street to walk! The Women's Building Website

Mission Street, Part Two

Under the artistic environment in the Mission, there is always something can catch your eyes. I was walking on this street, this special pattern just showed up, actually there are more of this, with all different words on each petal, together make it looks like a flower.  I like this one, there are PEACE, LOVE, COMMUNITY, LIFE... on it.

Mission Street, Part One

Mission streets, also called The Mission. A lot of my friends told me it's a not a very safe place in San Francisco, but it's still a very fun place to visit. There are San Francisco's oldest buildings located in this neighborhood too. I was there with a friend helping her with the shooting project, we visited several churches, which was a very impressive and sacred trip. Those churches are old, but very delicate, whatever happened outside, sitting in the church, I feel quiet and peaceful. The Mission Wiki Link

Beach & Larkin Street - Ghirardelli Sqaure

One of my favorite place in San Francisco. It's also a landmark in Fisherman's Wharf area. It used to be the headquarter of Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory, and today, after 100 years, you can still find world famous Ghirardelli Chocolate Stores here! How time flies! It's not only a place to shop and eat, but also a nice place to relax, sitting around the fountain, under those warm sunshine, you can fully enjoy your time and feel this over 100 year old historic landmark. Ghirardelli Square Wiki Link
