In the process of visiting the local museum, the author has a deeper understanding of the history of California, and tells the reader that the history and culture of California are created by immigrants from all over the world
Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. It definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

What is so special about the Mission District
My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!
It is a vibrant(充满活力的) and historical area full of culture and life.
What examples show “a mix of cultures” in Mission District
a mix of ethnic diversity
a mix of art diversity
a mix of food diversity
