Here Are Some Ideas To Add A Bit Of Diversity to Your Southern California Vacation October 28, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Would you like to know about a summer travel destination that offers a tremendous amount of diversity in the vacation opportunities and activities? Summer vacation travel means different things to different people, that’s for sure. It may include hitting a bunch of theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm, or relaxing in the mountains. Others love to see historical sites and still others love to play golf.
One of the most well-known vacation attractions in Southern California is the resort area around Disneyland; this includes the Downtown Disney retail entertainment center with its wonderful Orange County restaurants, and California Adventure, on which Disney is spending around one billion dollars over the next few years.
If you haven’t been to Anaheim in several years, you’ll be amazed at the changes. California Adventure exhibits the diversity of California culture, from citrus orchards to downtown Los Angeles to the northern California Wine Country. It is a great place for people watching—a veritable cultural melting pot.
There are not a lot of other places in the world where you’ll find such a complex melting pot of nationalities as in Southern California. Although there are often visitors from Europe, Africa and Asia, the countries along the Pacific Ocean are particlularly well represented.
You’ll find quite a number of ethnic communities scattered throughout Southern California, and worth a visit in your summer travel activities. In Los Angeles County the obvious targest would be Koreatown, west of downtown, Little Tokyo to the west and Chinatown just north of the central business district. Orange County is home to Little Saigon and Fourth Street in downtown Santa Ana.
