21 Grauman's Chinese Theater
Grauman's Chinese
Theater is full of exotic art from China and its jade-green bronze
roof rises 90 feet into the air. It simply looks spectacular particularly
when lit at night. Grauman's is a true Hollywood landmark.The theatre
opened in 1927 with the debut of the original silent version of
King of Kings, produced by Cecil B. DeMille. This famously famous
Chinese theatre draws millions to see its legendary forecourt cement
hand and footprints from movie stars past and present. Grauman's
Chinese Theatre has been the site of more gala Hollywood movie premieres
than any other Chinese Hollywood theatre. Grauman's impresses inside
and out.
Fame has its
price. As well as the entrance fee, Grauman's Chinese Theatre is
very popular. You may find a few imitation stars milling outside
– don’t be fooled, they are looking for photo ops and
expect you to pay for it.
22 Olvera
Street
History is
the main attraction at Olvera Street. If you head for the Plaza
you will discover many fine old buildings dating back to the beginning
of Los Angeles time. Perhaps echoing a distant past, Olvera Street,
birth place of L.A. not only gives you many fine old buildings to
admire but a small slice of Mexico, served hot with just a touch
of spice. Go to the visitors center and ask them for information
about a self-guided tour of all the historical buildings and points
of interest. They should have a brochure, a few helpful tips and
directions for you.
If history
doesn't grab you, Olvera Street is a nice place to eat and/or take
a stroll down Mexico way. It's the kind of place that makes the
locals feel like they are they aren't. Olvera Street is world famous
for its Mexican-style marketplace lined with street vendors, cafes,
restaurants and gift shops selling Mexican dresses, leather huaraches,
tooled belts, piñatas, and snacks like churros.
Once you have
had your fill of Mexico you can visit China(town) which is located
nearby. In particular check out the Chinese Gate at the Mandarin
Plaza.

Park and Mansion or Greystone Manor
If you want
to see an LA mansion this could be for you. Enter the home that
should be yours through the wrought-iron gates and let your imagination
take over. The lushly landscaped16-acre grounds and 55-rooms are
all yours for nothing so long as you don’t mind sharing. The
fortress-like Tudor mansion Greystone manor contains over 46,000
square feet of living space. It is widely regarded as the largest
and grandest mansion on the West coast. It is certainly the biggest
home ever built in Beverly Hills which is just as well as it attracts
a lot of visitors.

dramatic appearance and open manor have lead to key roles in many
stately Hollywood movies. For more click the link below

a beautiful wide flat sandy beach.
Hermosa Beach
is great for just about everything. Sunbathing, beach volleyball,
surfing and paddle boarding. The Strand path that runs along Hermosa's
beach from Redondo Beach which facilitates further activitying with
walking, talking, jogging, bicycling, skateboarding, rollerblading
and whilst all enjoying the sunning and the surfing.
25 (40) Redondo
Beach
Redondo Beach
has much a thing to do. A salt water lagoon, Monstad Pier, Fishermans
Wharf a pleasurable pleasure complex and a small slice of small
boat heaven at King Harbor. The salt water lagoon apparently gets
a little heated by a nearby steam plant and gets its attractiveness
from its sandy and grassy surroundings.
You can enjoy
good views of the Palos Verdes Peninsula from the urban side of
Redondo Beach. The beach has a bike path and a lighted walkway which
is great for an evening stroll.
Redondo Beach
is next to the Redondo Pier which describes itself as"..Redondo
Beach Pier and International Boardwalk are a family destination
featuring over 50 dining, entertainment and shopping choices and
within walking distance to beautiful seaside accommodations"
and it is a good place to park.
