During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

San Diego Chinese Historical Museum
Located in the former Chinese Mission, where Chinese immigrants learned English and adapted to their new environment, this small museum contains antique Chinese lottery equipment, a series of panels documenting the gold rush, and artifacts unearthed from San Diego's old Chinatown (located south of Market, between Third and Fifth aves.). There's a nice gift shop, and a pleasant garden in back with a bronze statue of Confucius. Allow about half an hour for your visit. Walking tours of the Asian Pacific Historic District start here on the second Saturday of the month; the cost is $2.

Giant Dipper Roller Coaster
A local landmark for almost 80 years, the Giant Dipper is one of two surviving fixtures from the original Belmont Amusement Park (the other is The Plunge swimming pool). After sitting dormant for 15 years, the vintage wooden roller coaster, with more than 2,600 feet of track and 13 hills, underwent extensive restoration and reopened in 1991. If you're in the neighborhood (especially with older kids), it's worth a stop, but adults may find the whole experience a bit too spine-rattling. You must be at least 50 inches tall to ride the roller coaster. You can also ride on the Giant Dipper's neighbor, the Liberty Carousel ($2), and other carny-style rides (unlimited ride wristband $17).

Chula Vista Nature Center
Sweetwater Marsh is one of San Diego's top bird-watching spots, and the nature center provides walking trails and a facility for experiencing the bird life, as well as stingrays and small sharks in kid-level open tanks. There's a walk-through aviary of shore birds, and other aviaries feature raptors and burrowing owls. The parking lot is located away from the center and a shuttle bus ferries guests between the two points.

The Westgate Hotel
Before downtown's 1990s resurgence, the lavish Westgate and its old-school neighbor, the U.S. Grant, were the only hotels of note in the business district. But whereas the latter came by its formality during an era when royal treatment was expected, the Westgate was considered nouveau riche when it opened in 1970. Legend has it that President Eisenhower, during an early 1960s visit to San Diego, asked local banker C. Arnholt Smith, "Is this the best you have?" Smith took Eisenhower up on the challenge and built the Westgate. Smith's wife toured Europe collecting pieces to furnish the public spaces, including Louis XVI-period antiques and Baccarat crystal chandeliers. But ultimately, the Westgate became a money pit, leading to its sale to the Holding family in 1975; they in turn established a standard of luxury -- including fruit baskets and deferential, European-style service.Despite the plain exterior of this 18-story high-rise, the 18th-century lobby is a re-creation of an anteroom from the Palace of Versailles, featuring brocade upholstery, tapestries, crystal chandeliers, parquet floors, and Persian rugs. Afternoon tea is conducted daily here with great aplomb. Rooms boast old-world decadence with Italian armoires, and marble finishings. At 400 square feet, standard rooms are the largest of any downtown hotel, and the city views are splendid. The Westgate has a fine jewel-box restaurant, Le Fontainebleau, noted for its French-California-Asian fusion cuisine, live piano, silver place settings, and Saturday night dinner dancing. Yes, it's more formal than the convention-centric competition down the street, but the Westgate is a good choice for travelers seeking fancy digs.

Embassy Suites Hotel San Diego Bay-Downtown
What might seem like an impersonal business hotel can actually work out to a good deal for families, if you can snag a room when a big convention isn't forcing up downtown rates. This spot provides modern accommodations with lots of room for families or claustrophobes. Built in 1988, the neoclassical high-rise is topped with a distinctive neon bull's-eye that's visible from far away. Every room is a suite, with a king or two doubles in the bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the living/dining area; each has convenient features like a kitchenette and a dining table that converts into a work area. All rooms open onto a 12-story atrium filled with palm trees, koi ponds, and a bubbling fountain; each also has a city or bay view. Located 1 block from Seaport Village and 8 blocks from the Gaslamp Quarter, the Embassy Suites may be a second-tier choice of convention groups (after the pricier Grand Hyatt and Marriott), but it provides solid extras like a full breakfast and complimentary evening cocktail hour.

Marriott Coronado Island Resort
Once expected to give competitor Loews a run for its money in the leisure market, this Marriott seems content with the substantial group business it gets from the convention center across the bay. Elegance and luxury here are understated. Although the physical property is generic, with impersonal architecture, the staff goes out of its way to provide upbeat attention: Guests just seem to get whatever they need, be it a lift downtown (by water taxi from the private dock), a tee time at the neighboring golf course, or a prime appointment at the spa.Despite its mostly business clientele, the hotel offers many enticements for the leisure traveler: a prime waterfront setting offering a sweeping view of the San Diego skyline; a location within a mile of Coronado shopping and dining, and walking distance from the ferry landing; lushly planted grounds filled with preening exotic birds; and a wealth of sporting and recreational activities. Guest rooms are generously sized and attractively furnished -- actually decorated -- in colorful French country style, and all feature balconies or patios. The superbly designed bathrooms hold an array of fine toiletries. In terms of room size and amenities, your dollar goes a lot farther here than at the Hotel Del.Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; 3 outdoor pools; 6 night-lit tennis courts; fitness center; spa; 2 Jacuzzis; watersports equipment rental; bike rental; concierge; courtesy shuttle to Horton Plaza; water taxi to convention center $5; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
