Schools

Tina👭Miami

The University of Washington (UW) is a public research university located in Washington State, USA. It is not only the oldest public university on the West Coast of the United States, but also one of the top three most beautiful universities in the United States! If you come to Seattle, please make sure to arrange a day to visit, you will not be disappointed! UW is famous for its beautiful natural environment and excellent academic atmosphere. Walking on the campus, you will find green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming, as if you are in a huge botanical park. There are many iconic buildings on campus, the most famous of which is the Harry Potter-style library, which is jokingly called Suzhou Building by the Chinese. This magnificent building is not only a holy place for academic research, but also a popular place for taking photos. Standing in front of the library, you will be shocked by its solemn momentum, and even more shocking is the scene of the fountain and snow-capped mountains reflecting each other. Every year during the cherry blossom season, countless tourists from home and abroad flock here to watch this unique natural wonder!

Kerry Park

City Parks

菜菜的后花园

The best place to overlook the panoramic view of Seattle. This is actually a free community park on the top of the mountain, but the view is so good that it has become a must-see attraction in Seattle. From here you can see the clear blue water of the harbor and the Space Needle in the city center. In the distance is Mount Rainier, the city of Little Fuji. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, like a white hat, very beautiful.
