    "The sixth floor museum, located in downtown Dallas, was built to commemorate the assassination of former President Kennedy. It is called the sixth floor because three bullets from killer Lee Hanoi Oswald were fired from the sixth floor of the building that was once a textbook warehouse"

    "The monument is designed to be suspended up and down, surrounded by four sides, and the interior of the monument is only a black marble, with the name Kennedy carved in platinum. The designer of the monument Philip Johnson successfully conveyed his respect for the president: "a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth.""

    Highlights: The square is a piece of uneven grass. The monument in the middle is designed to be suspended up and down and surrounded by squares. The floor inside the monument is only a piece of black marble, with Kennedy's name engraved in gold. In order to commemorate President Kennedy, the house where the assassin was hiding was built as the Kennedy Memorial. On the asphalt road south of the house, the X sign was painted with white paint to record the location of the president's assassination. On the east side of the square is a monument, a memorial wall, a flagpole behind the wall, and an American flag fluttering in the air.

    Highlights: The Dallas Botanical Garden is located in the east of Dallas. It was built in 1940 and covers an area of 66 acres. It consists of a series of themed gardens. It is a good place to enjoy leisure, relaxation and viewing flowers and plants. Well received by tourists. Although it is only 66 acres, the colorful flowers in the botanical garden give people a full visual shock. Every season, there will be flowers in different flowering periods, and you can enjoy beautiful flowers no matter what season you go to.

    "The Dallas World Aquarium is the biggest surprise of this trip. The degree of fun and good-looking is that other attractions in Dallas Citypass are not comparable. Maybe because of this, the attractions of City Pass do not have an aquarium, and the tickets should be bought separately for about 25 knives. Visiting the aquarium is an exciting thing, especially before you enter the door, you can see the forest style layout of the door. There are big birds outside the door to see, and small penguins can also be seen playing in the water on the side. After entering, go directly to the second floor, first birds, then small animals such as monkeys and sloths, and then marine animals. I have to say that there is a hall in DWA that has many communities on the wall. Each small kitchen window has different marine animals, and the name of the sea is also marked on it. DWA is wrong overall, the layout is good, and there are few groups of people crowded together. The place feels small but we see a lot of animals."

    "Baiyan Lake was built in 1911 and is the water source of Dallas. After 1927, the city government built a park around the lake, which is also a hundred years old. There are green roads around the lake, which can be used for hiking and cycling. The inner circle close to the lake is 14 kilometers (9 miles) and the outer circle is 18 kilometers (11 miles). The visual circumference is larger than Hangzhou West Lake, and the West Lake is about 10 kilometers around. There are many parking spaces around the lake, as well as public toilets and drinking water outlets. There is a dam in the southeast corner of the lake, and there are many egrets living here. Usually most of the residents living around are running or cycling for morning exercises, and some people sit by the lake and watch the water in a daze without doing anything. On weekends, many people drive here with bicycles hanging. This is a good place to get close to nature."
