Lafayette Reservoir Travelogue - The Best Fishing Spot in The Bay Area

Weekly hiking, today's recommendation is Lafayette Reservoir in the affluent town! It's perfect for walking children and dogs, fishing, and boating - a multi-purpose reservoir! However, you can't swim as it serves as the drinking water reservoir for Contra Costa residents. Pros: * Beautiful scenic views with sunshine and shade. Hiking on flat ground is effortless! * It's a great place for fishing. The water quality is touted as the best in the bay area and yields top-grade edible fish, with most weighing 2-3 lbs! * Affordable. Both people and dogs get in for free, parking is $1.5/hr, and paddle boats are $15/hr. The longer you boat, the cheaper it gets - $35/5hrs, the lowest rate in the Bay Area! See image 6 for detailed fees. * Fully equipped facilities, including large and small parking lots throughout the park. If you don't want to walk, you can drive straight in, making it extremely convenient! * A final plus point: It's peaceful and less crowded! Visiting on weekdays is practically like reserving the whole place! In summary: A great place to exercise your legs, walk your kids, and run your dogs! 📍Lafayette Reservoir 3849 Mt Blvd, Lafayette, CA 94549 #LafayetteReservoir #BestFishingSpot #BayArea #AffordableOutdoorActivity #PeacefulRetreat #ScenicViews #FamilyFriendly #ConvenientFacilities

Wizard's Hut Library *Montclair Library*🔮

Let's chat about this hidden gem library today. It's rooted in history and tucked away in the residential area of Montclair. Probably only locals know about it [LOL]! Pointy red-brick rooftop, windows adorned with fireplaces; it exudes a wizardly aura from the inside out! I'm not exaggerating when I say there's probably no other library in the Bay area with such a unique character! Though small, it has everything! A varied collection of books, the front area is for adults, while the back area is for kids. The books are neatly and aesthetically arranged, dense but not overcrowded – a masterclass in space management! The reason my kid loves here? You can score free books, or buy very new ones for a small amount of money, like $0.25 Wimpy Kids [LOL]! I'm not much of a reader, but I must say chilling by the fireplace on a rainy day, daydreaming by the floor-to-ceiling window, is supremely comfy! 📍Oakland Public Library: Montclair Branch 1687 Mountain Blvd, Oakland, CA 94611 #WizardsHutLibrary #MontclairLibrary #HiddenGem #BayArea #BookLovers #CozyReading #OaklandPublicLibrary #MontclairBranch

Bay Area Cuisine | Must-Try Old-School Beef Noodle House in San Francisco🍜

🍜PPQ Beef Noodle House 📍 1816 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122 - An old-school beef noodle shop in San Francisco that has maintained its taste for decades. I had a good impression when I tried it a while ago, so I couldn't resist revisiting when I saw it nearby. Since my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, I wanted something hot and comforting, and a bowl of Pho seemed perfect. - The portion of noodle soup is generous, even the medium-sized bowl is enough. The vegetables, broccoli 🥦 and shrimp rolls, are fresh, and the service is fast! Indeed, enjoying hot noodle soup while it's still hot is the most comforting. - PPQ Beef Noodle House offers a combination of raw beef slices, beef balls, beef tripe, and more in a bowl of noodle soup, making it the most diverse bowl of beef noodle. I personally love it! You can taste all the different ingredients in one go. - Another favorite of mine is the Five-Spice Chicken. The noodle soup and chicken pieces are served separately. The broth for the noodle soup is flavorful, and the chicken is fried to perfection - crispy and tender. You can have a spoonful of noodle soup and a bite of chicken separately or mix it according to your preference. #WeekendIdeaInBayArea #BayAreaLiving #BayArea #BayAreaCuisine #FoodRecommendation #Foodie #PopularFoodOnXiaohongshu #MyFoodDiary #WeekendFoodAdventure #FoodHunting #OldSchoolEstablishment
