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

Chicago is also a walking friendly city, all attractions are relatively concentrated, not far from the distance, although public transportation is very convenient, but walking will unlock a different Chicago. Before coming to Chicago, I thought it would be like other cities. After I came, I was shocked by the skyscrapers here. I can see that it is comparable to the skyscrapers in New York. It is walking along the coast along the way. Residents who keep running through it, if there is time, You can take a cruise to unlock a different angle of Chicago.

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.

Shede Aquarium is a very good place here. The aquarium has many biological fish and some performance projects. People are not as many as domestic aquariums. You can quietly enjoy the life of some aquatic animals. There are more requirements for taking pictures.

Buckingham Fountain (Buckingham Fountain) settled in Chicago on August 26, 1927, at the intersection of Columbus Avenue (Columbus Drive) and Parliament Park Road (Congress Parkway) in Grant Park, Chicago. It is a landmark building in Chicago. The Buckingham Fountain is the world's largest illuminated fountain, twice as large as the Grand Fountain of Versailles in France. Its base is made of pink marble.

Nice diversity in exhibits. Beautiful building and interior design. They switch art collection very often so go often you will be surprised. Sometimes it might not be your taste but still fun to check out new trends and artist. There's a cute cafe on the basement as well serve pretty good coffee. Farmer's Market out front on the Tuesday mornings but they aren't allowed dogs to go into the farmer's market! That was a bit disappointed. Love the Tuesday night Jazz, ordered a wine or beer and cheese and sit on the lawn. I saw people bring their own picnic basket too. a wonderful way to enjoy Chicago summer! love this museum
