📍 Seaport Village
Seaport Village is located next to the San Diego seaport. It is a 14 km waterfront shopping and entertainment center with 45 unique stores and 17 restaurants. After a leisurely walk by the seaside, the fresh air and comfortable environment, combined with the warm California sunshine, you can enjoy this afternoon.

Walking past the winding walkway, I saw an eagle flying in the sky. The stores here are all designed as slate houses, and it's like being in a fairytale country. Accompanied by the sound of a fountain and walking through the slabs in the lake, I felt that time was passing slowly.
Every store here sells a unique East and West, including cute animal sculptures, exquisite home decorations, magnets, etc. What impressed me the most was this magnet with “Makin' Bacon” printed on it ($7.85). The happy appearance of the two little pigs with these words is very interesting. I also bought a Mexican-style skull needle ($8.5) here, which is very fine. California is home to many Mexicans. One-third of the people from San Diego alone are from Mexico, so Mexican culture can be found everywhere.
There is also an area for travelers to rest after a long day of shopping, and is surrounded by various restaurants. We ordered an Iced Latte ($7) at one of the coffee shops and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. Since it is a tourist attraction, the drinks here are relatively expensive, and the prices listed do not include sales tax, so you need to be careful when purchasing.
As soon as you step out of the Seaport Village, you can see the sunset shining brightly on the surface of the sea. Listening to live guitar performances and visiting several seaside pavilions, I spent a whole afternoon relaxing here, and took pictures of the sunset.
