sculptor:โMinneapolis is the main city in Minnesota, forming the "Twin Cities" with the neighboring state capital of St. Paul. Divided in two by the Mississippi River, Minneapolis is known for its parks and lakes. Minneapolis is also home to many cultural landmarks, such as the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the adjacent Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.โ
sculptor:โMinnehaha Park is an urban park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, at the Minnehaha Falls and the lower Minnehaha River. The park is one of the oldest and most popular parks in Minneapolis, with a magnificent 15-meter-high waterfall, limestone cliffs and river views, attracting more than 850,000 visitors each year.โ
ๅฐ่ฌ๐ป:โ"If I didn't go to high school here, who would come here to travel?" - This is probably the most common thing I said during the entire trip. Even American locals have to spend a lot of time to explain where this place is, let alone Chinese people. Every time I can only say it's in the middle, so called the middle rural areaโ๏ธ
In Minneapolis City
๐ท๏ธ Guthrie Theater
You can come here to watch a play/exhibition. The observation deck here has a great view and you can see the scenery of the Mississippi River running through the city
๐ท๏ธ Stone Arch Bridege ๐ท๏ธ Water Power Park
There are many tracks here, you can walk or ride a bike.
In this small park, you can observe the Mississippi River up close and overlook the urban skyline of the city center opposite.
๐ซ U of Minnesota
The University of Minnesota is hidden in downtown
๐ฝ๏ธ There is a Chinese restaurant called Tea House that I often eat. I used to drive for several hours from the small village of Saint Cloud to come here just for this bite
๐๏ธ Mall of America
It is said to be the largest indoor shopping mall in the United States. There is an amusement park and an aquarium inside. Clothes and shoes in Minnesota are duty-free. This is very close to the airport. You can come here for a stroll on the last stop.
๐ท๏ธ Sculpture Garden ๐ฅ๐
Here is the iconic spoon cherry sculpture, and there is an art gallery next to it. The benches under the shadow of the trees are very suitable for sitting and relaxing
๐ Wayzata
There is a small town called Wayzata an hour away from downtown. When I had the opportunity to take a good walk along Minnetonka Lake, I found that this charming town even has a relaxing smell in the air.
In the afternoon, the most famous COV restaurant was still full of people waiting for their meals. Sitting at a table by the lake, I saw a whole family wearing swimsuits and going out on a yacht on the deck. You can also walk along the railroad tracks by the lake and hear the ding-dong sound from afar, reminding you that the train is coming. The sun makes the lake sparkle. It is so healing when the weather is good.
MN is still too cold and snowy in winter, don't come๐ โโ๏ธ

love is blue:โWe were so lucky to have such a great place to eat on our holiday date night! We ate upstairs so it was quiet and great for chatting. I highly recommend the fresh ricotta and white truffle honey! I loved the tagliatelle and foie gras meatballs and my husband's crispy grilled beef tenderloin was perfection! We will be back!โ
