Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.

This is a paradise for aviation fans. You can find all the planes you want to see here. From planes from World War I to the latest planes, there is really everything. In addition to aviation planes, there are also aerospace planes. The key is that there are some related to China.

The learning atmosphere is great, suitable for a good university. The price/performance ratio of tuition fees has room for improvement... Children&#39;s summer camps can come here to feel the atmosphere of world-renowned universities. The natural scenery here is also great, you can sit on the grass and read quietly under the blue sky on the weekend...
