USA Travel Guide

Universal Studios Hollywood is known as "the coolest place in Los Angeles," bringing together thrilling amusement park rides, spectacular shows, and authentic movie production sets. The studio has built various film sets based on the creative vision of renowned director Steven Spielberg. It thoughtfully offers Mandarin‑language tram tours, led by guides who take visitors through the backlots to explore famous scenes from classic movies and TV shows, such as King Kong, Desperate Housewives, Jaws, War of the Worlds, Bates Motel, and more. In the summer of 2015, a new Fast & Furious attraction was also launched.

Established in 1872, Yellowstone was the world's first national park, spanning Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. It is renowned for intense volcanic geothermal activity: Old Faithful erupts roughly every 90 minutes, the Grand Prismatic Spring dazzles with rainbow-hued terraces, and the Yellowstone Grand Canyon's waterfalls thunder below. It is home to bison, grizzly bears, wolves and elk, and superb for stargazing. The road network forms a figure-eight; allow 1–2 days, stay in a park lodge or gateway town, and watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk.

The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. In her right hand she holds aloft a torch, and in her left a tablet inscribed with the date “July IV MDCCLXXVI” (July 4, 1776), the Declaration of Independence. Since its completion it has embodied America’s highest ideal of liberty and has become a national symbol.

The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, about 27 miles southeast of Los Angeles, is where Walt Disney's original theme park opened on July 17, 1955. It now pairs Disneyland Park, with its nine lands from Main Street, U.S.A. to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and classics like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, with Disney California Adventure Park across the esplanade. Evening spectaculars such as Fantasmic! close the day, while Downtown Disney offers dining and shopping.

The Empire State Building, located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, is an Art Deco skyscraper completed in 1931. Standing 102 stories tall with a roof height of 381 meters, its total height reached 443.7 meters after an antenna was added in 1951. It held the title of the world's tallest building for 41 years (1931–1972) — longer than any other skyscraper — and was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. As the first building in the world to exceed 100 floors, its steel frame was considered a marvel of modern engineering. Today, it remains one of New York's most iconic landmarks and most popular observation destinations.

The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. Located in Washington, D.C., it covers an area of over 73,000 square meters and sits directly north of the Washington Monument. Its pure white appearance gives it a sacred and dignified aura. For over 200 years, more than 40 presidents have lived and worked within its walls. Each occupant came from a different background and had their own personal tastes, so each room was decorated according to the unique style and preferences of the president at the time. Before the 20th century, the White House was completely open to the public. However, today, visiting it requires a tour request submitted through a member of Congress, and visitors are only allowed to see eight rooms. Furthermore, reservations must be made well in advance.
