What travellers say about Rosemont

Grant Park was quite spacious. Buckingham Fountain sprayed water high into the air, and children ran around the pool, not caring that their pants were getting wet. Many people lay on the lawn, some sunbathing, some doing somersaults. Under that big tree, someone was playing guitar, the tune languidly playing. In the distance, you could see the rows of large columns of the museum. I sat on a bench and ate an apple, pigeons swarming around waiting for the crumbs to fall. A cool breeze blew by, making me want to stay put.

Chicago's Lincoln Park is a memorial park in memory of Lincoln. The facilities and layout are relatively novel and simple. It is close to the lake and has nice scenery. I like to take a walk here in the afternoon. There are not many people, so you can quietly appreciate the charm of this city.

I haven’t been here for 4 years, but I still feel a sense of intimacy when I return to Chicago’s Chinatown after the epidemic. There are a few more shops, and there are quite a few tourists at 7pm. Dinner was at Phoenix Restaurant, one of the best options in Chicago. The food tastes very authentic and the human touch is deeply felt.

Northwest University is located in Evanston, north of Chicago City. Compared with the campus of Chicago, the campus of Northwest University is built on the lake, which is worth visiting. The castle-like architecture is just the graffiti on the lakeside cornerstone where students usually attend classes. It is the work of successive students. Baha'i Faith, representing the history and culture of the school, has eight churches all over the world. One of them is the Baha'i Temple near Northwest University. It is from Northwest China. Universities can not miss the attractions, from a unique architectural style to attract visitors to visit.
