Los Angeles One-Day Tour: Walking Through Symbols and Freedom

A day in LA was a time to immerse oneself in iconic landmarks and the local atmosphere. The morning began with a hike to the Hollywood Sign. Following the trails near Griffith Park, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the city and the legendary Hollywood Sign right before your eyes. After the hike, I headed straight to Venice Beach. Street performances, graffiti art, and the energetic vibe of Muscle Beach—this is a place where art and freedom blend seamlessly with the beach. Walking barefoot on the sand brought a sense of liberation that you can never experience in the city. Lunch was at the local favorite, In-N-Out Burger. At the Gailey Avenue location near UCLA, the combination of a Double-Double burger, French fries, and Animal Style sauce was simple yet perfect. Post-lunch, I strolled through the UCLA campus. The historic buildings, green lawns, and students leisurely reading books made me wonder, "What would it feel like to study here?" LA is a city that is bustling yet relaxed, serious yet free. It was just one day, but it left a lasting impression. 📍Hollywood Sign → Venice Beach → In-N-Out Burger → UCLA Campus
