    Jogging along the long paths of Central Park, every step feels like stepping to the city's rhythm. A boy plays guitar by the Bethesda Fountain, the melody of "Imagine" flowing from the strings, blending wonderfully with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. In front of the star-shaped mosaic at Strawberry Fields, someone always leaves behind a dew-kissed rose, the air filled with the scent of onion hot dogs and fresh grass. My favorite spot is the skating rink near Bow Bridge, watching beginners tumble and fall like snowballs, while the skyline silhouettes silently behind the treetops—in this steel jungle, there lies a heart-warming oasis.

    This one-day Mount Rainier Escape (crossed out) hike is packed with surprises and is highly recommended for those with moderate fitness, a bit of ambition, and a bit of courage! 🚗Itinerary Overview: • Depart at 8:00 AM for a scenic hike that combines both sightseeing and survival training. • Arrive at Paradise Visitor Center at 10:30 AM. • Hike the Skyline Trail Loop (approximately 6 miles/9.6 kilometers) from 11:00 AM to 2:40 PM. The goal is to reach Panorama Point, the highest point. Descend via the Golden Gate Trail, taking a shortcut to savor every moment of the scenery. • From 2:40 PM to 4:15 PM, check out Myrtle Falls (a magical waterfall) and Reflection Lakes (perfect for stunning photos). • Depart the National Park at 4:20 PM and head straight to Seattle Airport. ❄️ Snowshoeing Keyword: No equipment, snowy ground, scorching sun, snowmelt, creeks, gravel, three slips, using hands and feet, and surrounded by squirrels. First half: The uphill section was a mixed bag, with steps deep and shallow, treading through snow, wading through icy water, and scrambling over gravel. It felt like a game of "Man vs. Wild." Panorama Point: The scenery is simply breathtaking, with a vast expanse of snow-capped mountains filling my eyes. It feels like Rivendell from "The Lord of the Rings"! Golden Gate Trail: The downhill section is relatively easy, but still features a lot of gravel. Squirrels: They appear incredibly frequently. 🧤Gear Recommendations: Although I'm a living example of "going up the mountain with nothing," don't follow my lead: • Non-slip hiking boots: A must! Otherwise, experience "Ballet on Ice"! • Trekking Poles: Optional, especially for easier descents. • Sunscreen and sunglasses: The sun can be scorching hot on the mountain, so don't underestimate the glare from the snow. • Lunch with rations and water: Eat some rations at Panorama Point. 📸Recommended photo spots: • Entrance to Paradise Visitor Center: Snow-capped mountains in the background, plus tourist equipment. • Snowshoeing along the middle of the Skyline Trail: A cool photo op. • Panorama Point overlook: Perfect for photos with your phone. • The small bridge in front of Myrtle Falls: A perfect Instagram-worthy experience. • Backlit Reflection Lakes: Perfect for stunning silhouettes. Random thoughts: The most amazing thing isn't the scenery, but the "foreign-style extreme romance" of the mountains—climbing the snowy mountains in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, chatting on the cliffside, and skiing downhill using their butts as sleds. Standing there, I wanted to applaud them. The most soothing moment was soaking my feet by the lake. My feet were numb, but my heart was at peace. If you want to experience four seasons in one day and accomplish the feats of "seeing snow-capped mountains, climbing them, wading through snowy streams, soaking in snowy water, and encountering squirrels," then visit Mount Rainier.

    Standing on the edge of the cliff of Grand Canyon National Park, the scenery in front of you will make you hold your breath. The rock layers are like a painting of time, from reddish brown to golden yellow, and each layer has witnessed the changes of the earth for billions of years. The canyon is deep and magnificent, the Colorado River meanders at the bottom of the valley, the sun shines on the rock walls, and the colors change with time, which is so beautiful that people are reluctant to look away. You can feel the shock of the Grand Canyon more by exploring on foot. Whether it is the Bright Angel Trail on the South Rim or the Kaibab Trail on the North Rim, you can see the canyon scenery from different angles along the way. There are steep cliffs under your feet and endless wilderness in the distance. Walking in it is both exciting and awed. If you have enough time, take a helicopter to overlook the canyon, or ride a mule deep into the valley. The feeling of being there is even more indescribable. In the face of such a magnificent nature, any language seems pale. Only by experiencing it in person can you feel its true shock.

    The Harvard Art Museums are an essential part of any Harvard trip. We took our children there twice; the first visit was unforeseen, but the second was a perfect opportunity. While the museums aren't large, the galleries are interconnected, and the exhibits are strategically arranged, allowing you to fully explore Harvard's century-long collection without having to backtrack. Admission is free, but registration is required. There's a small but welcoming dining area on the first floor. It's best to avoid meal times, or enjoy brunch before entering, followed by coffee and snacks between visits. We spent a full day exploring the museums and were deeply impressed by the endless charm of this world-class university. A trip to Harvard offers even more possibilities for our children's growth and development. Here are some authentic world-famous paintings from the museums' long-standing collection, ready for everyone to explore and appreciate.

    Came here on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco. Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road. If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain. Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver's license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.

    Bryce Canyon National Park, located in southern Utah, is one of the most unique and breathtaking national parks in the American Southwest. Despite its name, it's actually a vast natural amphitheater, comprised of countless bizarre "hoodoos"—red-orange rock pillars that shimmer in the sunlight, making them particularly spectacular at dawn and sunset. Here are a few reasons why it's worth a visit: 1. Unique Landscapes Bryce's hoodoos are unlike any other on Earth. Thousands of rock pillars scattered across the crimson canyon resemble something out of a fairytale or alien landscape. 2. Stunning Photography Whether it's the early morning blues, the blazing midday sun, or the golden glow of sunset, the scenery promises stunning photo opportunities. Sunrise Point and Sunset Point are especially a photographer's paradise. 🥾 3. Amazing Hiking Experiences Two recommended hiking routes: • Navajo Loop Trail (short but classic): Journey through rock pillars and experience nature's wonders up close. • Queen's Garden Trail: A more relaxed hike with romantic scenery, perfect for first-time visitors. 🌌 4. World-class Stargazing Bryce Canyon is one of the few places in the world to be certified as an International Dark Sky Park. At night, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye, and the sky is filled with stars like a shower of silver sand. 🏞️ 5. Convenient Transportation, Connecting to Surrounding Attractions It's about a two-hour drive from Zion National Park and is often included in the "Big Five Utah National Parks" itinerary, making it ideal for road trips.

    It is also a relatively unique geological and geomorphological park. I have to say that when traveling abroad, there are many national parks with vast land and few people. You can freely enjoy close contact with nature. Several geological lakes in the park are still worth seeing. It is worth a visit.
