Alcatraz Island
Alcatraz Island is located in the San Francisco Bay, 1.5 miles offshore from San Francisco. Often referred to as "The Rock", the small island was developed with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison (1868), and a federal prison from 1933 until 1963.
Chinatown Gate
This Gateway Arch (Dragon Gate) on Grant Avenue at Bush Street in Chinatown, the only authentic Chinatown Gate in North America. Unlike similar structures which usually stand on wooden pillars, this iconic symbol conforms to Chinese gateway standards using stone from base to top and green-tiled roofs in addition to wood as basic building materials.
Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognized symbols of San Francisco. It spans the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean, linking San Francisco on the south to Marin County on the north. Until 1964, it had the longest suspension bridge main span in the world, at 4,200 feet (1,280 m).
