🇺🇸 Sacramento Old Town 1-Day Trip

Did you know Sacramento is actually the capital of California? 🌆 It’s also nicknamed "" (Three Steam Buns) by the Chinese community! Compared to LA or SF, its downtown is much cleaner.

It’s a perfect destination for families or weekend getaways—and one of Sacramento’s most famous attractions! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦❤️ 💰 Costs: Parking is affordable!
