Angel Island Overview of Angel Island

Angel Island-Many people who came to the United States from China first landed here in the early 20th century. The old immigration station on the island was the place where China people settled at that time. In the 1960s, thanks to the efforts of a China man, it was spared the fate of being demolished. Until now, people can still see the blood and tears poems written by China people waiting to enter the United States on the wall of this building.

This small island was a military base of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War and the two world wars. After the soldiers left the island, they were finally turned into a state park under the long-term struggle of a group of people with heart. Suitable for hiking, cycling and outing. Walking leisurely by bike allows you to fully enjoy the quiet and leisurely holiday atmosphere on the island. The ferry from Marin County to Sosalito, Tiburon or Angel Island allows you to bring your bike. People who like a little excitement can try to manipulate kayaks and enjoy boating outside Angel Island. This activity is led by experienced people, and even inexperienced tourists can now learn to sell.
