Silicon Valley doesn't really feel like a tourist attraction. I stood in front of Apple's giant ring for a while; the security guard was polite but wouldn't let me in. Google's colorful bicycles were there, but passersby were too busy looking at their phones. In the roadside cafes, people were frowning so deeply at their computers they could trap a mosquito. Driving around, all you see are low-rise office buildings, much like a typical industrial area. But sitting on a park bench near Stanford, watching kids fly kites, was much more comfortable than any of those tech parks.

The campus is open and has no walls. There is a large lawn in the middle that is sunken and below the ground. There are parking spaces around it. It is very comfortable to lie on the grass. There are many attractions on the entire campus, and this is just one of them.

Filoli Garden House was absolutely a bang for a buck! It was so stunning with various kinds of flower during peak blooming season of springtime. Historic House was amazing as well with ethereal interior design, especially the gorgeous arts of floral arrangement in different vases.

The colorful Google headquarters is located in Mountain View. An old classmate who works at Google enthusiastically took us inside to visit and introduced us. In the beautiful environment surrounded by bright sunshine and green trees, Google employees can be seen sitting on the ground at work, discussing problems in groups of three or two, or operating computers alone. It is rare to be able to engage in high-tech creative work in such a relaxing and comfortable environment!

When visiting the Computer Museum in Silicon Valley, the first thing I saw was the Chinese abacus from the 1960s, which supported hexadecimal, and then the familiar VAX11 machine. Bosch had the ABS anti-lock braking system in 1978, and Mercedes-Benz used it later. After the IEEE 802.11b standard was established, WiFi routers appeared in the United States in 2000. 2011 was truly the WiFi year in China, and the three major operators focused on the battle for WiFi. In that year, the WiFi usage rate of Chinese smartphone netizens was 14.8% [%].

Hoover is the name of the 31st president of the United States, and he was also an early graduate of Stanford. In 1919, he donated $50,000 to establish the Hoover Research Center. The Hoover Tower was built during Stanford's 50th anniversary. It became part of the research center and was named after Hoover. The Hoover Research Center is one of the most influential research centers in the United States. It mainly studies the social, political, and economic changes in the world and advocates peace. The Hoover Tower is open to teachers, students, and friends of the school for free, and charges a small fee for external visitors. On the first floor is a brief biography of Hoover and related historical materials. You can take the elevator to the top floor, where you can enjoy the view of the entire Stanford campus.
