San Francisco is a fairly young city with a history of only 147 years. Before the gold mine was discovered in the spring of 1848, it was just an isolated mountain village. San Francisco, formerly known as Yewabuena, was originally a colonial stronghold of Spain, which was later taken over by Mexico and occupied by the US military during the US-Mexico War. The sensational 1848 gold rush made San Francisco miraculously rise. In two years, the population will reach 35,000. Among them, in addition to the United States, there are China, Malays, Mexicans, Peruvians, Hawaiians, and immigrants from Indian, Russian, French, British, German and other places, which are quite cosmopolitan. With the rapid increase of population, urban construction is also on the right track. Permanent residence with masonry structure appeared in 1950s. 185 1 year, San Francisco ranks second only to new york, Boston and New Orleans in the national foreign trade volume.

Rich gold makes San Francisco famous, and China people call it "Golden Mountain". Later, in order to distinguish it from the newly discovered Melbourne gold mine in Australia, it was renamed San Francisco and officially named San Francisco. China people use the homonym of "San Francisco" to call it San Francisco. With the exploitation of gold, the industry, trade and agriculture in the vicinity of San Francisco have developed, laying the foundation for the development of the city. After 1869, the Pacific Railway across the North American continent went through here, which greatly strengthened San Francisco's position as a transportation hub, and international trade once flourished. After 20 years of operation, this deserted village in Shan Ye has become one of the top ten cities in the United States.

Because San Francisco is located in the Pacific fault zone, earthquakes are frequent in history. 1906 A strong earthquake of magnitude 8.3 triggered a fire that lasted for three days, leaving the city on the brink of destruction. Three quarters of the urban area was in ruins, and 300,000 people had nowhere to live, which became the biggest disaster in the world at that time. But San Francisco quickly recovered and continued to develop steadily. Today, San Francisco actually includes Oakland and San Francisco. There is a wide bay between the two cities, but it is connected by a modern suspension bridge. Known as "Seward Street", the financial district stands the tallest building in the city-a 52-story building, which is the headquarters building of Bank of America, the largest bank in the United States and even the capitalist world. Its strength can be extended overseas, and industries such as wood, mining, metallurgy, food and electronics are also quite prosperous. Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley and the famous Silicon Valley are enough to illustrate San Francisco's strong cultural and technological strength.
