City Parks
云石雨
Millennial Park is located in the heart of Chicago, USA, relying on the beautiful Lake Michigan, one of the most popular attractions in Chicago. The "cloud gate" in the park is a chic landscape, like a haha mirror to the whole Chicago, which is amazing.

It's absolutely amazing. 103 floors up. Don't be a wimp go out into the glass box! Enjoy the view. You can get back in line after your 1 minute is up. They time you based on your group size to move the line. It's such a cool experience. Worth the $30. On the way to the elevator they give you a cool back history lesson on the fires of Chicago that led to the architectural renaissance and his Chicago started a lot of America's modern style of construction. Take your time, savor every moment. I'd recommend going into the box and taking crazy pictures but then get back in line and savor the minute or two you get without the worries of taking pictures. Just absorb the view it's worth it. love this tower view

Route 66 was affectionately called the Mother's Road and Main Street, the early artery of the United States, and today the "pilgrimage road" of freedom, dreams and hope. Although Route 66 has been removed from the U.S. highway system, coming to Chicago to see the starting point of Route 66 will definitely be the beginning of your healing journey.

Statues/Sculptures
云石雨
The mirror effect of the statue is reminiscent of the haha mirror in the amusement park in Chicago, USA, but these effects have a more serious purpose, and the huge "cloud door" looks quite lightweight. The "Cloud Gate" is considered Kapoor's most ambitious work because of the complex structure of this mirror-shaped artwork.

I haven't come for 4 years. After the epidemic, I still have a sense of intimacy in Chinatown in Chicago. There are more shops, and there are many tourists at 7 pm. Dinner in Phoenix Restaurant, is one of the best choices in Chicago. The dishes taste very authentic and deeply feel the friendly human touch.

If you want to unlock the different night view of Chicago, you must come to the Navy Pier. There are not many tourists in Chicago at night. Everything is quiet. Sitting on a bench by the sea, blowing the sea breeze, overlooking the dimly lit city skyline in downtown Chicago. It is also an iconic attraction in Chicago. It will have a different atmosphere during the day and night. The brightly lit Ferris wheel, order a beer and sit outdoors, look up at the starry night sky. The pier was built in 1914-1916, and it was the world's largest pier in that year. It was used as a naval training base, so it was named the Navy Pier. Today, the pier is mainly used as public transportation and short-haul passenger ships. There is also the Chicago Children's Museum and an amusement park nearby. It is also very suitable for family and children. A large pier park

One of my favorite places in Chicago! The Riverwalk is very well maintained, and the night view is very beautiful. There are some bars that you can sit down the enjoy the view. It can get crowded during summer (but was closed temporarily due to COVID). On one side is the great view of the art projection on Merchandise Mart, and if you continue walking toward the lake, it can get pretty close to navy pier (still requires some additional walking, but wouldn’t be too far). St Patrick’s day will be very fun to see the green river! maw mandi dulu ah
