A photo on WeChat, a hazy and misty airport take-off map, and a sentence on P: Chicago , here I am!
I replied, Chicago , this fairy parties little friends started a prowess.
Mr. A who loves basketball was the first to leave a message saying " Chicago ! That is the city of Michael Jordan, the god of basketball!" Mr.
B, who is a background in architecture, hurriedly followed him to retort "Wind City is a world-class architectural paradise! The world! The tallest building! Sears Tower!"
Often dig their C-jun said, "Grow up! You guys have not seen Lake Michigan skyline guys! I just saw!"
Hey Hey ...... C Jun Are you serious it, it's really seen the skyline Is it half a dime to maturity? And did Mr. B’s architectural knowledge enter the ice age? The world's tallest building was not the Sears Tower 800 years ago, and it is now called the Wells Tower... it seems that only the first message from Mr. A is slightly normal.
If ing is omitted here, seeing such a cheerful and funny message, I feel a bonus immediately.

In fact, I'm in Chicago impression was first appears from a movie, the name of the movie is called " Chicago ," When is a high-quality movie Amway Well!
The starring role is Renée Zellweger, a song and dance movie that seemed to me at the time, which was not very literary. In the movie, you can see the carefully designed song and dance of the movie at every time period. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was my previous song and dance. Goddess wow!
After that did not go in because the film's special concern over Chicago I probably knew it was a US city, was a boring traditional industrial city, but after this came, I found I had to Chicago impression is absolutely a misunderstanding!
The unique charm of this city subverted my perception of her.
Since they are all boasting to the sky, they say nothing! Come and have a look with me!

Okay, talking for so long, let's get to the point!
United States ] Chicago . Choose the beauty of the world with you

Travels text

[Day1]
I looked at the map, from the United States ranked third in the culinary capital of Denver reach the Windy City of Chicago .
This from Colorado to Illinois The distance is almost 1615 kilometers.
If you choose to drive... ahem... The self-driving journey will take about 15 hours... I, I, I, I still didn’t have the courage to continue the road trip.
Of course, the itinerary is the most important factor, because there is not so much time arranged!
Tips:
Chicago is American The transportation hub in the central part is also the starting point of Route 66 of the "Mother's Road", so if you have time, you can experience self-driving. You will meet many self-driving travelers during this journey.
Of course remove the car, you can also choose the train, after all, is connected to the United States There are many train lines to choose from in the transportation hub on the east and west coasts.
There is also a Chicago bound for San Francisco 's scenic trains "California Breeze number."
Finally, from Denver transfer to Chicago . There are many domestic flights in the
United States , and the time is short, you can arrive in less than two hours.
Before arrival overlooks one can see the glitter of Lake Michigan , overlooking the skyline Oh!

John Hancock Building

From the airport to the hotel, you can see many buildings on both sides of the road.
Gee, metropolis, is the metropolis, long-lined floor in the sense that both sides of the road, yesterday still in the US town shopping tour for me as if through the same.
American famous writer Norman Mailer once wrote, " Chicago is a great city, it is perhaps the United States The only remaining Wei Ayutthaya City, "
we have always just sitting in the car, you can feel this place, as if on a word, the thief money! (Honey smiley)
as the world's top ten most affluent cities, Chicago 's wealthy Index second only to Tokyo , New York and Los Angeles , ranked fourth in the world.

Chicago

But 100 years ago, Chicago suffered a devastating fire that almost destroyed the whole city, so now seeing Chicago belongs to the result of reconstruction.
It is said that the urban layout of more than a hundred years ago is still not lagging behind, which is really amazing.
It may also be related to such a practical layout. The buildings in sight are all like building blocks, with corners and squares!
To borrow Mr. B's words, cough cough, architecture! Must pay attention to its own use function! people oriented! balalala...Omitted again.
In fact, I can understand people-oriented, as a foodie with a sharp eye on where to go.
Tasty is everything! Comfort is king! Food, clothing, shelter and transportation! I want it all!
Hahaha (conscious nerve)

Field Museum of Natural History

Because Sue's head weighs 600 pounds too heavy, the skeleton can't support it, so he can only be separated by the prime minister, so the head is on the second floor, and the head on the first floor is a replica.
The souvenir shop also sells many souvenirs named Sue.

The exhibition hall also has a public open area for visitors to personally touch and understand the process of making fossils, skeletons, and specimens.

In the performance area of the exhibition hall, you can watch a dolphin and seal show. It is in front of a landscape stage facing the sea. During the performance, a curtain will cover all the sea view windows and will open again at the end. vivoX20Plus did not expose the sea view window, great!

Shedd Aquarium

You can see clever dolphins jumping and playing in the water, and imitation performances of seals and trainers. But the general foreign dolphin show, performing seals do not let the animals head the ball to shoot, mainly exert their nature, freedom in the water jump, mainly to protect the nature-based.

Shedd Aquarium
Shedd Aquarium

After the performance is over, you can enter the venue and interact with the white dolphins after obtaining a permit, which is very interesting!

Shedd Aquarium

For example, if the ten fingers are opened and shaken, the dolphin will rotate, hold the fist of the right hand and then unfold, the dolphin will stand on the water surface and move backwards, doing the conductor's action, and the dolphin will make a crisp call and sing.
I have to say that dolphins are so smart!

Shedd Aquarium

What deserves a lot of praise is that there are many decorations and crafts made from garbage collected from the sea in the Shedd Aquarium, which are placed in the exhibition hall, always reminding everyone to protect the ocean and not to litter and destroy pollution. Our beautiful blue planet.

RIVER ROAST lunch


Lunch is in the restaurant named RIVER ROAST.
This restaurant Pro against the Chicago River, Dining with a View correct!

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw that the window downstairs was decorated with a cow. Well, it was a steak restaurant.

When I go down to the dining area, I really like the decoration style here. The round lights of the gypsophila are hanging in different heights. The dining table and chairs combined with logs and metal reveal the casualness of the American country. Two black people are performing jazz in the dining room. , The whole gives people a comfortable and comfortable dining experience. Of course, with the city river view outside the window and the snow fluttering in the sky, I feel like I don't want to leave in the afternoon.

The restaurant’s grilled meats and vegetables are good, such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli and carrots. The service is very family-style, and they are all handsome boys with superb looks.

Of course, their roast chicken is also good. They brought a whole roast chicken, which was then cut by a handsome guy and placed on the plate. The meat is plump, but the texture is very tender, which I think is good.

After the meal, I happened to find a gorgeous scene. A bridegroom and a group of bridesmaids took pictures on the bridge in front of the restaurant, and took two shots of the vivoX20Plus. Chicago is really a very suitable place for filming, even if it rains or snows . They are so beautiful!

"Magnificent Mile" Lights Festival


Trans Chicago north and south of the city of Michigan Avenue (MichiganAvenue) in the heart of the range there are about a mile skyscrapers, the way this one has a lot of shopping malls, hotels and tours, comparable to New York Manhattan Fifth Avenue.

The reason why Michigan Avenue can be called "Magnificent", thanks to its unique architecture, in a sense, even more than Michigan Avenue in New York more poetic Fifth Avenue.

Beautifully decorated floats! Giant inflatable cartoon characters! Band and dance team!
Of course, the parade decorated with all kinds of lights is indispensable!

Dinner Riva Crabhouse


Dinner was at Riva Crabhouse, a seafood restaurant in the port.
The dining environment is very good, and the dining tables are all facing the sea. If you don't go in the evening, you can pick a sunset time to eat and watch the sea.
And we played all day, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening when we went, so we could only look at the high-rise lights in the distance at night.

A few people ordered a seafood platter, plus lobster pasta, tut! It tastes good! Large portion! It's really too big, I tried hard, I only ate 1/3, which is really a waste! In fact, I really don't want to waste it, but the amount is too big to eat.

The desserts that came up are also amazingly big! This amount is enough for five people! Oh my God!

In the environment of Riva Crabhouse, the phone will be shot in the dark, is it very nostalgic?

In contrast, the Spanish master the art Jamie Piran Sa (Jaume Plensa) will be more than 1,000 Chicago residents face projected on a large LED screen 50 feet, creating a fountain of spray from their mouth illusion.

This is GRILL CAFÉ PARKING, a restaurant under the Cloud Gate of Millennium Park. It is famous in the local area because it is in the most lively place. In the cool of the Chicago shopping for a morning, really a little cold, choosing to dine well, but also to dine while others look out the window in a public skating ice rink.

The restaurant also focuses on creative dishes. Of course, my favorite is the final cheesecake. It is small and not sweet, especially suitable for girls.

SEGWAY TOURS Chicago City Segway Tour


After coming out of Millennium Park, I immediately experienced a SEGWAY TOURS Chicago City Segway Tour!
SEGWAY is a new type of transportation. It is recommended that friends who come to Chicago try SEGWAY TOURS.
Don't worry about learning it. I don't think there are any good ideas except to pay attention to cold weather and wear gloves.
(Special reminder, for those who play SEGWAY balance bike, they cannot bring a camera. Mobile phones are okay, and sports cameras have fixed points. Therefore, I basically use my phone to take photos during the whole process of playing the balance bike.)

Segway Tour in Chicago there are several companies offer, the car is also a lot of points.
We got on the bus at 238E. Monroe Street next to Millennium Park.
As a little fairy who is not so confident about her balance, she was still a little panicked.
After signing the certificate of life and death, after watching the precautions video, you have to wait!
Because before the departure, the instructor will teach every experiencer how to drive the balance car, and will not start on the road until it can be used independently.

As a special transportation tool, Segway needs to rely on body balance to control, but it is not difficult.
Along the way there along with coaches accompanied balanced car to explore the Chicago shoreline park, aquarium reentry to return, while you can visit while introducing Chicago history development.
After proficiency, no matter where you encounter Segway rental in the future, you can rent it for a whole day and use Segway modern walking tools.

Chicago Ferris Wheel (FerrisWheel)


After completion of experience SEGWAY TOURS, we pulled Chicago Ferris Wheel (FerrisWheel)
that is listed as the world's ten most beautiful Big Wheel Ferris wheel, located in Chicago's Navy Pier.
The location is super superior, and the 360-degree view of the surrounding scenery will be particularly comfortable! Worth a visit!

The 100-story building has broken many records. For example, it has the world’s highest indoor swimming pool and ice skating rink. It only takes 40 seconds for visitors to reach the 94-story observation deck by elevator.
The observation deck is designed like an open-air pedestrian bridge. If you go to the 96th floor, you can enjoy a cocktail while enjoying the view!

【Day5】

The Magnificent Mile

On the morning of the return journey, I didn't go to run around in particular, but turned around nearby.
At the very beginning, I said that the hotel is surrounded by the city center and there are so many places to go!

Magnificent Mile

Perhaps experienced the Festival of Lights, you want to feel the Magnificent Mile during the day, I went to a Magnificent Mile (The Magnificent Mile)
from Chicago Michigan Avenue bridge over the river, until Oak Street, the business climate in this distance , It's not too good.
No wonder speaking in Chicago , if not a famous "Magnificent Mile" it is not really up to people shopping.

Shopping is also up to people I immediately plunge into the period comparable to the New York Manhattan Fifth Avenue's Magnificent Mile!
A series of chic boutiques and large shopping centers are scattered on both sides of this boulevard. Not only can it satisfy the shopping desire, the whole avenue is also very eye-catching!

And there are a lot of interesting shops here, the types are going to be dazzling.
Such as at&t "Justice League" exhibition, Dylan's Candy Bar candy store, fashionable Disney souvenir shop and so on.

After the end of this magnificent one-mile journey of buying, buying and buying, we ended this long and not short journey.
If someone asks if I will come again, my answer is yes.
of course! why not?
The fire in 1871 basically burned it out, but now it has gained a new life, like a giant tree growing out of ashes, becoming one of the most beautiful cities in the United States.

Even though I know anyone from Chicago harsh climate and security defects to deny the city, but not so exaggerated rumors, only came to experience.
Isn't that the so-called travel? Besides, I am a girl traveling.
