Friends say you come to see what the prison has to look at, but this is the most difficult prison in the world to escape, the famous "Shawshank Redemption", the American TV series "Prison Break" and later many films about prison break are from this Alcatraz island.

The three people who have successfully escaped from prison in history have not been found. When the United States set up this prison here, it was because of the severe terrain here, the water around the year is extremely cold and surrounded by sharks, and the nearest island is 30 minutes to sail to reach, so the possibility of escape is almost zero.

However, it is such a harsh environment that there is still no lack of criminals with high intelligence, so that the impossible becomes possible, which was a sensation in the world at that time and has become history. It was only 1962, and I lamented the wisdom and courage of human beings at that time, and the persistence of ten years.

Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, as its name rings true, is an island full of demons, has imprisoned countless of the United States' highest ranking felon, it is under tight military control, even if you escape from the prison, there are cliffs and waves of water layers of checkpoints, want to escape is impossible task.

Alcatraz Island is located in San Francisco and can be reached by boat from Pier pier33, with tickets available on site for day Tours and night Tours

day tour, night Tour 50. Visiting at night is actually very immersive if you are not in a hurry. In the main building where serious criminals are held, you can get the interpreter, which is available in English, Chinese, German and so on.

This is where the movie The Shawshank Redemption was filmed. Scenes and props from the movie are on display! I saw the movie before I visited, and when I went, I was very touched, especially some of the particularly touching plots.

You can visit old cells and get a sense of what life was like for those who were imprisoned. There are two types of guided Tours: self-guided tour, which is guided by voice and played from your mobile phone. A Guided tour will be conducted by a guide. I chose to guide myself this time, which is very convenient.

Experience the full, once in prison is the place where criminals get toiletries check in, and explain, listen to the stories of different criminals, profound and heavy. This is a great spot to punch in a photo! Every cell and hallway is easy to photograph, and it has a sense of desolation.

This is often rumored, attracting many adventurous people to visit at night (tickets are separate). I went during the day, and I already have a chill down my spine. I've been to San Francisco's Alcatraz prison before, and it's a lot spooky.

There are fewer tourists here, the cell corridors are old and mottled, the air is cool, and the underground cells are dark. I walked quickly through the underground cell, scared, but I was not afraid of other bright places. There's a haunted house adventure here on Halloween. I don't think I'd dare go.

The basic play can be half a day, the ferry ticket includes the return trip, as long as you do not miss the last boat.
