Houston Waterwall Park
A famous attraction in Houston, it is just a small park surrounded by business buildings and residences. As the name suggests, the water wall is a high wall with water flowing down, which looks like a water wall. This water wall is very unique and spectacular. It is quite cool to stand next to the water wall. In front of the water wall is a large lawn, which is also a good place for leisure.
