New York Outskirts Tour I Enjoy the Pittsburgh city skyline at night by taking a cable car

🔥A must-visit when touring Pittsburgh🔥 Before setting off for Pittsburgh, I had a few to-do lists ready, and taking the cable car to see the night view was the top ☝️ item on the list. Pittsburgh has two cable car stations, and I chose the one with slightly better reviews. Coming at night, there were hardly any people on the cable car, so it felt like chartering the whole car for myself. It was quite novel for me as it was my first time. According to travel guides, everyone recommends coming during sunset to enjoy the twilight on the cable car. I missed the sunset after having dinner, so I decided to come and check in the night view instead. The design of the slope allows you to see the city's night view from various angles. The city skyline across the river, paired with colorful lights, is just too romantic. Although the skyscrapers of Pittsburgh are not as impressive as those in Chicago and New York, they have their own unique charm. Watching the river, the arch bridges, and the twinkling lights, the cable car descends at a steady pace and doesn't really shake much. ✨ Monongahela Incline✨ 📍Detailed address: 1870 PA-837, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 🕙Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 05:30-12:45 💰Ticket price: One-way $2.5, round-trip $3.5 While waiting for the cable car, you can take a look at the introduction and history of the cable cars in the waiting hall. This cable car station was built in 1870, costing $50,000 to construct. By 1884, a total of 17 cable car stations had been built successively. They were used to transport residents from the top of Carson ST to Downtown Pittsburgh at the bottom of the hill, with a total journey time of 7 minutes. The decor and objects inside the cable car station also feel very old school, with vintage clocks, black and white photos, and small glass windows on the floor through which you can see the machinery running below. You can buy a round-trip ticket directly, take the cable car down the hill, and walk to the riverside's Bessemer Converter. Here stands Pittsburgh's first blast furnace, which successfully produced iron blocks in 1859. The cable car was originally built to make it easier for residents living on the hill to easily reach the factories and the top of the hill.
