云石雨
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.

野枫印象
Chicago's old water tower, which has been around for more than 100 years, looks like a castle and became one of the few survivors of the Chicago fire 100 years ago. The old water tower sits on the bustling Michigan Avenue, and is lined with modern buildings around it, forming a beautiful landscape of Chicago.

Chicago Lucre Tower is very famous in the construction industry. The roof is made of transparent glass, forming a patio effect. The complex geometric patterns everywhere, coupled with winding staircases, are beautiful. It's the rhythm of Virgo to death.

love is blue
Graceland Cemetery is a famous cemetery in Chicago. It is suitable for bringing friends together. It is worth seeing. It is very convenient. The journey is tired. The interest was not very high. My friends recommended it unanimously. I didn't expect it to come. After I came, the whole body and mind were refreshed.
