Angular load template asynchronous. for navigate one view to second view use # sign like go to any ID in javascript. but if you not want to appear in URL then use.

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);

In you config phase.

An Angular application is a single-page application. Without the #, you would move from one page to another instead of staying on the same page. The # sign is used in the URI of an HTML page to navigate within the page.
