Save a full roll of film for this tour if you plan to take it. THE HILL AND CHINATOWN Before traveling too far from the downtown area, don't miss Chinatown and Telegraph Hill. ^ ou can transfer from the Fisherman's \^ harf cable to a bus going by Chinatown. Cood scenes of Chinatown are taken both day and night. In the daytime, you can photograph the quaint street scenes. In the evening, shop windows of exotic Oriental merchandise are bright enough for filming with a fast lens and Type A film. Restaurants and night clubs carry neon signs in Chinese. Two famous panoramic views of San Francisco are offered the traveler. One. from the Top of the Mark on Xob Hill, is to be seen with drink in hand: while the second, from Colt Tower on Telegraph Hill, is a dry vista. Dry. that is. except for the bay and Pacific Ocean. At the base of Coit Tower, along the summit of Telegraph Hill, is a terrace for viewing the waterfront. Xorth Beach and Marina districts, the two bridges, and Berkeley and Oakland across the bay. Its quite a sight. An elevator takes visitors to the top of the tower where even more expansive views are found, ^ou may drive up Telegraph Hill or take the No. 39 bus. GOLDEN GATE PARK Golden Gate Park has something for everybody. There are the art treasures of the De \oung Museum, a pitch and putt golf course. Dutch windmills, lakes for boating, the Oriental Tea Garden, a floral conservatory, two sports stadiums, and a planetarium. The scenes here that would be hardest to duplicate anywhere else in the country are in the Oriental Tea Garden. Graceful arched bridges, tiered banks of Eastern flowers and shrubs, and running brooks form a delightful Oriental scene. Tea and cookies are served in a Japanese pavilion. If you think the new wide-screen movie processes are something special, visit the planetarium in Golden Gate Park. A dome-like white screen covers the entire auditorium, and images of the universe as seen on earth are thrown upon it. A rotating projector supplies the sun. moon, and stars for astronomical lectures. Admission is 85 cents. SEE THE ZOO Fleishhacker Pool, near the zoo and Ocean Beach on the West side of the city, is 1.000 feet long and the largest in the world. It's an outdoor pool with warm water. Xearby is the zoo with animals in barless settings rep resenting their natural habitats. The hours here are 10 a. m. to 5 p. m., but some animals cages become shaded in the afternoon. Its wise to get an early start at the zoo for the best pictures. Trained seals perform twice a day and the lions are fed daily at 2, except Monday. The zoo s open Monday, but the lions skip a meal that day. The pool and zoo are a short drive from the west end of Golden Gate Park. If vou want to visit that area by public transportation from downtown San Francisco, the L streetcar is the most direct route. Seal Rocks and the Cliff House are at the opposite end of the beach from the zoo. on the other side of Golden Gate Park. Sea lions bask in the sun on Seal Rocks, and careful photographers with good telephoto lenses are able to capture them on film. The present Cliff House is the fourth re?taurant of that name since 1863 to overlook Seal Rocks and the ocean. The Cliff House s fame is almost on a par w ith its prices. On a still higher cliff above is Sutro Heights Park where windswept evergreens and old statuary form a picturesque setting. This section of the city can be found by driving to the end of Geary Blvd. or taking the No. 2 bus on Sutter Street downtown. \ou can save it for the end of the day because even the very last rays of the setting sun shine onto the Cliff House and Seal Rocks. Here is where many Eastern visitors see a sunset over the Pacific Ocean for the first time. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE And what about the two great bridges? You'll want to drive across them both: but if you haven't taken your car along, you can ride across the Golden Gate Bridge in a Greyhound Bus and the Bay Bridge in either a Key System bus or electric train. Pedestrians are permitted on the Gelden Gate Bridge. The fo°r is trickv in San Francisco.
