Caligo Ghost Town is the most famous attraction in Southern California. It is not a town full of demons and ghosts, but an abandoned and uninhabited town for various reasons. The town is not big, but it has everything you need, including bars, restaurants, post offices, hotels, churches, town halls, fire stations, Chinatown, "red light district", etc. You can visit it on foot. Today, the town of Caligo is like a history museum, where you can explore the original appearance of the silver town in the 1880s. As you walk around the town, you will feel as if you are in the silver rush era, and experience the difficult and adventurous entrepreneurial journey of the Western pioneers. The town is full of western style, with old houses and equipment, as if traveling through time and space back to the past, and being in the cowboy era of the American West. The small train that was originally used to transport ore has now become a sightseeing bus for tourists to visit the silver mine, taking tourists to any scenic spot for sightseeing.

When night falls and the lights come on, the gambling city is a sea of neon lights and a colorful world of light and shadow. The electricity consumption of the five-kilometer-long Las Vegas Strip in one night can supply a city of 500,000 people with electricity for a year. The architecture here is a fusion of the best from all over the world. It is a well-deserved miracle of human engineering and the city with the most American characteristics!

Great Salt Lake, lake in northern Utah, U.S., the largest inland body of salt water in the Western Hemisphere and one of the most saline inland bodies of water in the world. The lake is fed by the Bear, Weber, and Jordan rivers and has no outlet. The lake has fluctuated greatly in size, depending on the rates of evaporation and the flow of the rivers that feed it. Like the Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake exists within an arid environment and has chemical characteristics like that of the oceans. However, it has a much greater salinity than the oceans, since natural evaporation exceeds the supply of water from the rivers feeding the lake.

The Utah State Capitol is the house of government for the U.S. state of Utah. The building houses the chambers and offices of the Utah State Legislature, the offices of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, the State Auditor and their staffs. The capital is the main building of the Utah State Capitol Complex, which is located on Capitol Hill, overlooking downtown Salt Lake City. The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Temple Square is a 10-acre (4.0 ha) complex, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), in the center of Salt Lake City. Contained within Temple Square are the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake Tabernacle, Salt Lake Assembly Hall, the Seagull Monument, and two visitors' centers. The square was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964, recognizing the Mormon achievement in the settlement of Utah.

The park is not big, but there are giant arches made of deer antlers in the four directions of east, west, south and north. The antlers are all sharp, but they are not obtained by hunting. Every winter, a large number of elk come from the mountains to the "National Elk Refuge" in Jackson to spend the winter. In the spring, the antlers fall off naturally and are replaced. After the elk leave, countless treasures are left everywhere.

Grand Teton National Park was established on February 26, 1929. There are 300 kilometers of trails in Grand Teton National Park. There are many lakes in the park, including Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake. Most of the area of Grand Teton National Park is located in the Rocky Mountains, and the natural scenery is very magnificent. In addition, Grand Teton National Park also has extremely rich biological resources, including American bison, grizzly bears, black bears, moose, etc.

Located in the Rocky Mountains, known as the "backbone of America", it is located on the lava plateau between the Northern Rockies and the Central Rockies in the western United States. The geothermal wonders are its hallmark, a primitive landscape of the earth forged by water and fire. The natural landscape in the park is divided into five major areas, namely the Mammoth Area, the Roosevelt Area, the Canyon Area, the Geyser Area and the Lake Area, each with its own characteristics. It exceeds the limits of human art and is the most wonderful and spectacular scenery on the surface of the earth.

The West Thumb Geyser Basin, located on the edge of Yellowstone Lake, was formed 150,000 years ago by the collapse of the earth's crust. The combination of hot springs and lake water has created a wonderful misty landscape: the misty area is the steam of hot springs, and the green waves are the water of Yellowstone Lake, which complements the blue sky and white clouds in the background, forming a landscape different from other hot spring areas in Yellowstone. This area is equivalent to the bay of Yellowstone Lake, where many geysers gather. The colors of the water outlets vary, some are transparent green, and some are dark black like cement. Many water outlets present a beautiful fantasy.

Norris Geyser Basin, named after an early Yellowstone Superintendent, may be the hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone. The stark, barren landscape of Porcelain Basin is the result of the acidic environment. Due to the hostile condition plants, algae and bacteria have difficulty in establishing themselves. Instead, the basin derives its colors from mineral oxides, in spectrums of pink, red, orange (iron oxides) and yellow (sulfur and iron sulfates). The largest geyser in the world is located here. Steamboat Geyser has long periods of dormancy, but when it does erupt it sends jets of water nearly 380 feet high in a spectacular display.

Old Faithful geyser is named for its consistent and regular eruption. Currently, it erupts approximately every 60 to 110 minutes, and each eruption lasts four to five minutes. The water column is more than 40 meters high, which is spectacular and never stops. The Old Faithful Visitor Center will display the eruption schedule in advance, so you can check the eruption time in advance before visiting with confidence.

Also known as the Seven Color Pool, it is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is 75-91 meters wide and 49 meters deep, and it gushes out about 2,000 liters of 71-degree hot water every minute. The amazing thing about the Grand Prismatic Spring is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from emerald green to golden orange-red, which is due to the algae and pigment-containing bacteria and other microorganisms living in the mineral-rich water. In midsummer, the chlorophyll content is relatively low, so the lake water appears brilliant orange, red or yellow. But in the cold winter, due to the lack of light, these microorganisms will produce more chlorophyll to suppress the color of carotenoids, so the water will appear deep dark green.

The Palette is a mud fountain. The mud and rocks contain minerals, which are melted by the acidic hot spring to form mud. Because the muddy water is very viscous, you can clearly see the slow formation and disappearance of bubbles. The mud around the fountain looks like dried oil paint, making the fountain itself look like a pot of water washed with oil paint, just like a painter's canvas, overflowing with colorful seasonings.

President Hill is located in the famous Black Hill area of South Dakota, which is famous for its towering stone mountains and mining history. The President Hill was completed in 1925 and is a huge project with statues of the four presidents of the United States, including George Washington, Thomas Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. We will follow the tree-lined mountain trail to appreciate the President Hill from different angles and commemorate these four great presidents in American history.

Badlands National Park is located in the southwest of South Dakota, USA. It was established in 1978 and covers an area of 242,756 acres. It is composed of large areas of eroded limestone, pinnacles and grasslands, of which the grassland area can reach 64,144 acres. It is a piece of uninhabited wasteland and the habitat of the endangered mammal blackfooted ferret in the United States. For millions of years, the park has been eroded and weathered by strong winds and rain to form this maze of isolated mountains, canyons and gullies. Walking into the park, you can see many towering bare hills, deep hills, and quietly grazing deer and sheep. They all have their own shapes and postures. The park is also home to a variety of wild animals, including bighorn sheep, bison, steppe foxes and the endangered black-footed ferret, etc. They live here comfortably and harmoniously.

Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th President of the United States. He was born in Ohio and graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1843. During the second half of the Civil War, he became commander-in-chief of the Union Army. Because of Grant's skillful command and repeated extraordinary achievements, he made outstanding contributions to the end of the Civil War and the victory of the Union. After the war, he successfully ran for president and re-election, but his performance was mediocre. 

Millennium Park is a large urban park in Chicago. On one side of the park is Chicago's busiest street, Michigan Avenue, and on the other side is the beautiful Lake Michigan. In the park, you can see the imprint of postmodern architectural style everywhere, so some professionals regard this park as a concentration of postmodern architectural style. Among them, the open-air concert hall, Cloud Gate and Crown Fountain are the three most representative postmodern buildings in Millennium Park.

Chicago's famous Grant Park is located in the city's commercial center. In 1901, it was renamed Grant Park in honor of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. The park contains performance venues, gardens, artworks, sporting, and harbor facilities. It hosts public gatherings and several large annual events and is popularly referred to as "Chicago's front yard".

The Art Institute of Chicago was founded in 1891. It is one of the oldest art galleries in the world and one of the three largest art galleries in the United States today. The museum houses art treasures from five thousand years and five continents, and can be called a museum of all nations. In particular, the masterpieces of French Impressionist painters are world-renowned. The masterpieces of masters such as Renoir, Picasso, and Van Gogh are priceless. Even the bronze lion statues on both sides of the gate have become the symbol of Chicago.

Taking a cruise and admiring Chicago's architectural forest is definitely a must-do in Chicago! The Shoreline City riverside tour takes about 75 minutes and is guided by a professional and humorous English tour guide.
