Since the earth is a sphere, there are at least two different ways to get from any place to any other place ...
a longer way and a shorter way.
To travel from Barcelona to London, you could set out in a south-southeasterly direction, eventually
cross the International Date Line, and reach London after a total journey of about 24,190 miles.
You could certainly do that.
But anyone who looked at a map or a globe before leaving Barcelona would probably choose to
set out in exactly the opposite direction. He would not cross the IDL, and his total journey before
reaching London would amount to only about 700 miles.
To each his own. The choice is entirely up to you.

If you travel east from North America, crossing over the Atlantic Ocean, you would not cross the International Date Line to reach China.If, instead, you travelled west from North America, crossing over the Pacific Ocean, you would cross over the International Date Line to reach China.
When you cross the International Date Line traveling from Asia to North America, you will lose a day. This is because the Date Line serves as the boundary for calendar days; when you cross it from east to west, you subtract a day. For example, if it's Monday in Asia, upon crossing the Date Line, it will be Sunday in North America.
You will cross the International Date Line when flying from Tokyo to Los Angeles. This means you will lose a day and arrive in Los Angeles on the same day you departed Tokyo.
Answer: No, you would have to go east from San Francisco.
