Famous stars, artists, and tycoons have also been buying properties here. Recently, a young Chinese couple purchased a mansion worth $34 million, becoming the most talked-about news in Beverly Hills.

In recent years, the "Rodeo Dr II" shopping mall that opened has added 60% of the retail space to this shopping street.

Grand Canyon National Park

Before sunrise, I hurried to the mountaintop and began an exhilarating hike. Despite the limited time, I walked all the way down to the valley, enjoying the beautiful scenery and magnificent views. However, due to time constraints, I was unable to reach the very bottom of the trail. Nevertheless, this experience was still very precious to me as it allowed me to appreciate and witness the beauty and wonders of nature.

Grand Canyon South Rim

The Grand Canyon is undoubtedly one of the world's famous landmarks. Most visitors to the national park will head to the South Rim, which is located north of Tusayan and serves as the park's southern entrance. Visitors can go to the canyon's information center to obtain route information and introductions to various scenic spots. Moving north will take you to Grand Canyon Village. At the northeast end of the village, the Yavapai Observation Station offers a panoramic view of the Grand Canyon and also houses a not-to-be-missed geological museum. For visitors who don't want to miss the magnificent scenery, a helicopter tour is highly recommended but it comes at a great cost of around $500.
