Space Needle

Night view

clarimina

Very cool establishment with two floors of views of the beautiful Seattle skyline. They&rsquo;re open day and night and I missed the night views. The revolving floor was super fun for my kid and myself. The Photo Booth is interesting and we had some memorable photos. Maybe they can include some more activities inside the restaurants and have clear instructions about which lifts lead where.

If you come to Seattle, make sure to schedule a day of sightseeing, and you won&#39;t be disappointed! Huada is famous for its beautiful natural environment and excellent academic atmosphere. Walking on the campus, you will find trees shaded, birds and flowers, as if you are in a huge botanical park, there are many landmarks on the campus, The most famous is the Harry Potter-style library. The Chinese joked that Suzhou Building is not only a holy place for academic research, but also a popular place for taking pictures and punching in. Standing in front of the library, you will be shocked by its solemn momentum. More shocking is the scene of the fountains and snowy mountains, and every year, the cherry blossom season, countless tourists from home and abroad flock here to see this unique natural wonder!
