Suyubai Park is a very quiet place, with beautiful lakes and mountains, and there are many houses around it. People envy the scenery and living environment here. It is a very relaxing and pleasant place.

I got a 3 in 1 ticket for Chihuly Museum + Space Needle + Xmas market that was a great deal.  space needle has been renovated and has a glass floors that you can look down. Not for people who are afraid of heights . it was very cold out on the outside circle, but the view was very good. Make sure to check the weather on the online WebCam.

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.

The learning atmosphere is great, suitable for a good university. The price/performance ratio of tuition fees has room for improvement... Children&#39;s summer camps can come here to feel the atmosphere of world-renowned universities. The natural scenery here is also great, you can sit on the grass and read quietly under the blue sky on the weekend...
