Boeing’s former headquarters was also of this type, but it later moved to Chicago, but the factory is still in Seattle, so for Locals say there are not many jobs in Seattle.

The Space Needle is a building that has appeared in many movies and TV shows filmed in Seattle. It is also an absolute landmark of Seattle. The 184-meter-tall Space Needle has long been ranked among the tallest buildings in the world today, but when it was built in 1961, it was the tallest building in the western United States. For the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, the Americans used their rare efficiency to build this big thing that could withstand a 9.1 magnitude earthquake and 10 kilometers per hour wind in just one year. It is said that the elevator at that time It was installed just the day before the opening.

The Space Needle was originally built for the same purpose as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, both for the World Expo. Now for travelers, the nature seems to be the same. If you come to Seattle and have not been to the Space Needle, you must It’s like being in Paris and never seeing the Eiffel Tower.

It only takes about 40 seconds to take the elevator from the ground to the observation deck. The transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the observation deck provide a 360-degree panoramic view of Seattle. Although there are many such observation decks around the world, the Space Needle observation deck is no longer new, but whether you are a child or an adult, the moment you stand in the air and look down at your feet is exciting. Moreover, the visibility in Seattle is usually very high, so in such a situation, the mood will be very comfortable.

From the observation deck, you can also go down the stairs to one level.

The glass windows on this floor are not as big as those on the observation deck above.

But part of the ground on this floor is surrounded by glass, so you can pretend that you are standing or lying on the "sky". However, this is really not attractive to the Chinese people who have glass planks everywhere in our country, but the foreigners still have a lot of fun.

In the city on the first floor of the observation deck, there is a photo wall for tourists to enter their names and countries. It is free and everyone can enter it. Photos are automatically taken by a machine at a specific location on the observation deck.

Of course the young lady cannot let this opportunity pass by.

There is also a place on the first floor where you can experience VR for free. The picture is of course combined with the space needle. After putting on the device, what you see is a scene of standing at the highest point of the Space Needle, but there is no glass window, just like bungee jumping, and then jumping down.

After experiencing it, I realized that it was the moment of rapid descent that scared many people.
