Yale University
Yale University was founded in 1701. It is one of the Ivy League schools and has produced five US presidents. It is located in New Haven, Connecticut. The school is known as "America's beautiful city campus". The beautiful Gothic architecture and modern architecture complement each other. The entire campus is filled with classical romance and modern elite atmosphere.
The Breakers
In Rhode Island, where luxury houses are everywhere, Tingtao Villa stands out. It is the summer resort of the Vanderbilt family, the American railway tycoon. Here, you can personally experience the wealth and glory of the American gold rush. Because the villa is backed by the sea, the sound of the waves hitting the cliffs is endless, so it is called Tingtao Villa. There is a large garden lawn behind the villa, where you can feel the comfort of facing the sea and the spring flowers~

Boston Harbor Cruise
Take a tour of Boston from the water and witness the history, people, sites, stories, and so much more – Boston has it all. Boston Harbor is the oldest continuously active seaport in the Western Hemisphere. Four thousand years before the Europeans arrived, indigenous peoples used Massachusetts Bay as a busy trading area. After the European colony of Massachusetts Bay was established, the harbor became a major commercial center. Boston Harbor Cruises show passengers this fascinating city. Stroll along the peaceful harbor and look out to the horizon, where the city's buildings stand tall and majestic against the sky.
New England Aquarium
The New England Aquarium, which is well-known for the filming of "Aquaman", is a good place to play, observe and learn about various marine life such as fish, seabirds, sea turtles, corals, etc. In the middle of the aquarium is a cylindrical aquarium, where huge sea turtles, beautiful corals, mini seahorses and various fish swim freely. Visitors can follow the circular passage of this aquarium and visit one floor after another. Each floor is surrounded by theme exhibition areas of various species. Each species has its distribution, living habits, etc. Some exhibition areas can be interactive and have a "skin-to-skin" experience with them.
Quincy Market in Boston
Quincy Market is a famous tourist attraction and shopping place in Boston. The unique Romanesque architectural style, large columns and iconic triangular roofs, classic Romanesque carved gates, granite building materials and modern American-style rectangular glass successfully combine classical beauty with modern beauty. The two buildings next to the market are called South Market and North Market, which are home to a variety of small shops where you can find all kinds of Boston souvenirs.
