The most practical travel guide to the Western United States, useful information for self-driving tours to the Western United States

Self-driving travel in the Western United States is the first choice for most people. The Western United States covers 11 states, starting from Arizona in the south, Washington State in the north, and Colorado in the east. However, in terms of tourism, the Western United States usually refers to the area with the three cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas as the core. Not only does it have the most prosperous super city, the most luxurious night-time casino, the most genteel seaside town, the most dangerous Highway 1, and the most magnificent national park, it also has California's year-round warm sunshine and relatively good urban security. Travel Season in Western America California’s average temperature throughout the year hovers between 10-20°C, making it a place that feels like spring breeze at any time. But the desert in Nevada is not so friendly. After the beginning of summer in June, the temperature has remained around 40 degrees Celsius, which feels like it will bake people. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park is open to tourists all year round, while the North Rim is only open to tourists from the end of May to mid-October due to the thick snow in winter. Therefore, the best time to travel by car in the Western United States is May-June and September-October. It is recommended to travel to the Western United States for 10-15 days. Don’t make too tight itinerary for self-driving tours, and it is advisable to cover 300 kilometers per day. There are too many uncertainties on the road. You have to slow down when you encounter heavy fog, you have to turn back when you take the wrong intersection, you linger at every scenic spot that is "too beautiful to miss", you want to have a simple meal but can't wait for the food to be served... Instead of risking being caught for speeding and rushing in the dark, you can complete the entire trip in a hurry. It's better to make a choice and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way in a leisurely mood. Recommended itinerary for traveling in the Western United States.

Fast food is nothing more than burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches, with French fries and cola as standard; dinners include steaks, lamb chops, chicken legs, seafood with salads, and various high-calorie desserts. Almost all are the Western food that is common in China. West America Travel Shopping Luxury Goods: Although big brands such as CHANEL, LV, GUICCI, and VERSACE cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, they are still cheap compared to domestic prices. You might as well get the luxury goods you have longed for. What I want to talk about in particular is COACH, which is not even considered a luxury product in the United States. It is sold at a bargain price. The discounted wallets in outlets only cost more than 100 yuan in RMB. The store is crowded with Chinese tourists rushing to buy.
