1. Willis Building

Once the tallest building in the world, 103 transparent glass observation deck is one of the most popular attractions in Chicago. The fully transparent design of the Chicago observation deck allows you to experience the heartbeat on the clouds, and you can have a panoramic view of the street scene under your feet, as well as the panoramic views of Chicago, Lake Michigan and nearby States.

2. Millennium Park

Millennium Park is a large city park in Chicago. On one side of the park is the most prosperous Michigan Avenue in Chicago, and on the other side is the scenic Lake Michigan. In the park, the imprint of postmodern architectural style can be seen everywhere, so some professionals regard this park as a concentrated place to show postmodern architectural style. Among them, the open-air concert hall, Cloud Gate and Crown Fountain are the three most representative post-modern buildings in Millennium Park.

3. Naval Wharf

The naval wharf on the shore of Lake Michigan was once the largest wharf in the world, which played an important role during World War II and was the training base of the navy. The lakeside of the Navy Pier has everything from large amusement parks and shops to restaurants and scenic spots, as well as various Michigan water recreation projects. The world's first Ferris wheel is located here, and you can enjoy the naval pier by riding the Ferris wheel.

The museum has collected art treasures spanning 5,000 years and five continents, making it a world museum. In particular, the works of French impressionist painters are world-famous, and the works of masters such as Renoir, Picasso and Van Gogh are even more valuable. Even the bronze lion statues on both sides of the gate have become the symbol of Chicago.

5. Michigan Avenue

The water tower along Michigan Avenue is a famous landmark in Chicago. The part of Michigan Avenue north of Chicago River called "Gorgeous Mile" is a gathering place for luxury goods and hotels, where there are many high-end department stores, restaurants, office buildings and hotels.
