    Highlights: The Space Needle designed for the World Expo in 1962 has become a landmark building in Seattle. It has a viewing platform and a revolving restaurant at a height of more than 500 feet above the ground. You can experience a lift at a speed of about 16 kilometers per hour. See Mount Rainier in the distance, enjoy the sunset over the bay in the evening, and revel in the city's stars under the shroud of night. 1. The height of the Space Needle, the shooting location, is 600 feet. On the viewing platform and revolving restaurant more than 500 feet above the ground, you can overlook a 360-degree panorama of Seattle, and the surrounding Mt. Rainier (Mt.Rainier) , Olympic National Park and Puget Sound. 2. The computer-controlled elevator of the flying elevator was refitted in 1993, with a speed of about 16 kilometers per hour. It only takes about 40 seconds to take the elevator from the ground to the viewing platform, just like a spaceship passing through fast.

    "It's touristy but I like browsing the different shops around here."
    Seattle.Central Waterfront
    700m from downtown
    Highlights: Pike Place Market is a long-established farmers' market in the United States. It not only provides a variety of local fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood, but also attracts countless artisans and street performances. 1. There are several fixed times for the fish throwing performance every day. There will be "fish throwing performances" at the seafood stalls at the entrance of the market, and there will also be impromptu performances. Those guys tossed the big fish weighing more than ten kilograms around, shouting loudly and happily, and it was very lively. 2. The first Starbucks store The first Starbucks store at 1912 Pike Place Market was built in 1971. It is the place where people who like Starbucks coffee from all over the world will definitely go to Seattle. Because Starbucks originally sold coffee beans, the store was decorated like a warehouse, and there were no tables and chairs for rest. But there are still many people who come here, prefer to stand and taste, but also order a cup of coffee here, trying to find the original taste of Starbucks coffee. 3. Chewing Gum Wall This is a rather curious attraction. It is covered with chewing gum of various colors. It is a little heavy, but you can also see many creative "works".

    "From the 520 suspension bridge in Seattle, you can see this unique building on the shore of Lake Washington, Washington University Stadium, I walked down the bridge and turned right and then went to the private house, then turned right to the gym. It was late, I couldn't see clearly, or I visited a circle of piety."
