Things To Do
Lake Tahoe, Nevada
Jiyang took Talia on some of their first dates near the boulders at Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe. This is also the where Jiyang asked Talia to marry him! Needless to say, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world to them. We highly recommend Sand Harbor, Zephyr Cove, and Emerald Bay beaches!
Truckee River Walk
For a great place to enjoy the Truckee River, live music, and some adorable little shops, head into downtown Reno for a stroll along the Truckee River Walk. Jiyang and Talia had their first kiss at a park on the Truckee River.
Virginia City
Yes, the old stomping grounds of Mark Twain--if you get here early, take a drive up to Virginia City and enjoy some of the Old West.
Mesa Rim Climbing & Fitness
Best indoor climbing gym in the west.
