Located in Grant Park looks like a wedding cake. As a child, during hot Chicago summers my family would go in the evenings to watch the colored lights water show. It was fantastic! I loved it as a child and still love it!

As the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles, the new complex and the city planning are neat and clean. This originated from a fire in 1871. It burned for two days and two nights and destroyed the original mostly wooden Chicago city and had to be rebuilt. All of them are converted to reinforced concrete, and as the world's tallest skyline, although high-rise buildings are only concentrated in the small urban area of Loop and about 5 square kilometers, it is also because of the extreme contrast between the height and the area, which is more obvious to the city's uprightness. Where do we all go in Chicago? 1. Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago landmark located in the heart of Grant Park. Built in 1927, it is the world's largest fountain. Do you think it is a bit of a Versailles fountain that is visual? That is the source of inspiration, symbolizing Lake Michigan 2. Millennium Park Millennium Park two most famous artworks crown fountain and cloud gate not much to say, about 25 minutes stroll from Buckingham fountain. Take a break to see the children playing in the water, take pictures with the beans on their heads to see if they can find themselves 3. Architecture curise Change the perspective to feel the wind city, boat tour the Chicago River. If you are interested in Chicago’s history and architecture, it is a good choice to take a boat to learn about the story of Chicago’s reconstruction after the fire and the various styles of buildings on both sides of the river, or just blow the wind of Lake Michigan on the bow and feel the modern beauty of the city. Also very pleasant. Follow the Chicago River out of Lake Michigan, enjoy the lake view and then return to the Chicago River, and watch the skyscrapers from a close angle. Absolutely not to miss the north

Less than ten minutes walk from Millennium Park along Lake Michigan, you can also reach another landmark in Chicago, the Buckingham Fountain. The retro sculptures and marble in the fountain give it an oil painting-like elegant beauty. Every night, there is a light music fountain show. Amazingly, the water column in the center of the fountain can be sprayed up to four or fifty meters high, with the colorful light projection at the bottom, like fireworks in the night sky.
