芝加哥的几大特色：
1，有密歇根湖，基本可以当海景用了，非常迷人
2，现代建筑艺术很出名
3，蓝调的发源地
4，既有大城市的基础设施，又有中部的休闲氛围

以上是芝加哥旅游资料上总结的，个人觉得非常贴切。当然，不要提

他们苦逼的冬天了。。。

It's a city of neighbourhoods. Greek town, italian town,

china town, etc. There are many pockets of diaspara for you

to explore.

It's also a city with a beautiful summer that unfortunately

only lasts 2-3 months, and that's when people come out to

have fun. The city is always growing- there is a running

joke in Chicago: there are only two seasons here, summer and

construction.

The architecture is also beautiful. There was a great fire

in the late 1800s, and so the city was replanned and rebuilt

from scratch by many famous architects. So it's not

haphazard at all, and many buildings are simply

breathtaking. In fact, my classmate told me the Chicago

Tribune building was once voted the most beautiful building

in the world.

The view of downtown Chicago from the right place on campus

is amazing!

South side Chicago is a black area- that is where the

university is. Famous for Blues music, and barbecue (ribs

and chicken).

North side is richer, and more modern. Lots of hip

neighborhoods there.

Chicago looks like the prototypical metropolitan museum. In

fact, they cast it as Gotham city in the Dark Knight. Actual

footage was shot there, which is why the city might look

familiar.

University of Chicago campus is known as one of the seven

wonders of Chicago (officially voted in the Chicago

Tribune). The university was initially built to copy Oxford,

but eventually some buildings- like the administration

building, or the robie house next to Booth, or Booth itself,

sprung up with very distinctly modern styles.

If you are into art, you'll Art Institute of Chicago nice. It has the most notable collection of impressionism paintings.
