Anonymous userChicago's most worthwhile attractions—do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.Chicago

小思文The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.Chicago

M22***39It's worth visiting, but the price is a bit high, so it doesn't feel like great value for money. There's a slanted window inside that offers a downward view of the city, but that costs extra. Overall, it doesn't feel like good value for money.Chicago

小思文Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.Chicago

ArtlasBefore riding the elevator to the top, there’s an exhibition introducing Chicago. It covers architecture, famous people from the city, food, and more. At the tower’s summit, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It’s definitely a worthwhile experience.Chicago

109***22When you come to Chicago, you must take a boat tour, but I could hardly understand what the foreigners said when they introduced the tall buildings, so I just looked around. If I had purchased it through Ctrip, it would have been great if they could have given us a Chinese translation headset!Chicago
