SF New Year's Eve Fireworks
12月31日11:59PM,旧金山湾上将会迎来一场持续15-20分钟的烟花大赏,伴随着烟花工艺的创新与升级、整场烟花秀热烈而盛大。
> weather conditions
Although the Bay Area's "rain" door is wide open, according to current forecasts, there will be no widespread rainfall in SF on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
However, I still recommend friends who are going to the city,Make travel planning and cold and moisture-proof measures in advance. On the evening of the 31st, both BART and Muni extended the departure time of the last bus. If you choose to take public transportation, you should also pay attention to safety.
> The best observation point
The fireworks display point is 1000 feet away from the ferry building, so the east coast of San Francisco and the opposite East Bay waterfront can be seen.
The best observation point in downtown SF is the Embarcadero next to the Ferry Building, probably between Mission and Folsom Street.
Friends in the East Bay, you can try the Mormon Church in Oakland, Grizzly Peak in Berkeley, and Marina Park Pathway in Emeryville.

  ring the bell to pray  
New Year Bell Ringing
Ringing the bell to pray for blessings in the New Year is a traditional custom shared by some Asian countries influenced by Buddhism. 108 loud and solemn bells break away the old year and take away evil spirits, so as to ensure that the new year will be smooth and everything will go well.
The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco has a 500-year-old Dahong Bell in its collection. On December 12, the museum will hold a bell-ringing ceremony, presided over by a Japanese-born mage from the East Bay Haoren Temple.
The ceremony starts at 11:30 in the morning. Those who want to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony need to purchase tickets to enter the Asian Art Museum, and then receive tickets for the bell-ringing ceremony at the entrance of the Samsung Hall. First come, first served.

Cost: $ 20

New Year Hiking
Taking advantage of the rare sunny day of New Year's Day on January 1, it is also very meaningful to go out for a walk and stand closer to the sky to win a good fortune for yourself and your family and make a good wish.
> Long distance: Mission Peak
Mission Peak is a well-known hiking route in the Bay Area. There are multiple entrances and different lengths to choose from. It takes more than 3 hours to go back and forth.
Going up from Stanford Ave to the top of the mountain is a more conventional choice. The walking route is spacious and the scenery is pleasant.
> Short distance: Coyote Hills Regional Park
The scenery of Coyote Hills is beautiful. There are mountains, water, reeds, and flat roads for cycling🚴. Many people come here to shoot various blockbusters.
The overall characteristics of the park are small slopes and slow rises. You can choose the Bayview Trail route. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing, but there is really a sense of climbing, and there is no lack of ritual.

Cost: From $5
