From 1915 to 1917, William Bowers Bourn II and his wife, the owners of the "Empire Gold Mine", built Philoli Manor. It is a masterpiece designed by the talented American architect Willis Polk, which combines the English country garden with the native California landscape. Known as one of the "Top Ten Beautiful Gardens in North America", it covers an area of nearly 265 hectares and is a park with beautiful natural scenery. There is a Georgian Revival-style mansion in the garden, as well as multiple English Renaissance-style gardens with more than 150 different varieties of roses, an orchard covering an area of 2.8 hectares, and a 1.6-kilometer-long path. Many design elements in the manor were also influenced by Chinese gardens. For example, there is a winding artificial stream in the garden, which is similar to the streams in Chinese gardens; many traditional Chinese flowers and plants are also planted in the garden, such as peonies, bamboos, etc. Peony symbolizes wealth and good luck; bamboo is a symbol of perseverance.

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!

The Hoover Tower is inside Stanford University. When you go there to send a package, the staff will lead you to take the elevator to the top floor. You can overlook the entire campus. The scenery is pretty good. Many of the photos below were taken on top of the tower.

The stained-glass wall of Stanford Memorial Church was quite vibrant, gleaming brightly in the sunlight. The long corridors had arched doorways one after another, casting dappled shadows on the floor. Inside, the light was dim, with stained glass filtering through and casting strips of light on the benches. Someone sat on a bench, head down, looking at their phone; the occasional rustling of pages broke the silence. As I came out, the palm trees by the entrance rustled in the wind, and the sun made the cobblestone path scorching hot. After standing there for a while, I felt like I was just tagging along to a tourist attraction, so I quickly left.
