Imagine Chicago
Just off the shores of Lake Michigan sits a microcosm of the great American city.
A majestic city.
A city that portends the future, time and time again. Molded by innovators and dreamers that once opened the prairies and transformed the continent.
Where lofty aspirations and big dreams shaped the greatest city in America.
Imagine. CHICAGO.
Where the most architecturally diverse skyline in the world serves as the perfect backdrop to explore the culture of 77 unique neighborhoods. Beyond the downtown loop experience a taste of China or the flavors of Mexico, 1500 miles north of the border.
Imagine. 25 Michelin-starred restaurants that dot the landscape of the culinary capital of the nation.
Where over 2.6 million square feet serves as the ideal business destination for meetings and conventions. McCormick Place, the largest and most flexible convention center in the western hemisphere.
With hundreds of diverse hotels and more than 36,000 rooms, from boutique to classic, you won't find a better place to lay your head, or a better view to wake up to.
Imagine. An energy that reverberates from Chicago's 200 theaters -- the best theater in the country.
Where international aviation was introduced to the world, a transportation mecca and the only dual hub in the United States. With over 3,000 daily flights to nearly 300 destinations, Chicago is the pulse of America.
Imagine. 26 miles of lakefront, the best festivals in the U.S., including Lollapalooza - the premier music festival in North America, 552 parks and 40 museums, a shoppers paradise, nightlife that doesn't sleep, a sports enthusiasts playground, and home to PCMA.
Why imagine?
Experience.

[4k] Walking Tour of Millennium Park (Cloud Gate, Bean Sculpture) Chicago Illinois USA
Millennium Park is a public park located in the Loop community area of Chicago in Illinois operated by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and managed by MB Real Estate. The park was originally intended to celebrate the third millennium and is a prominent civic center near the city's Lake Michigan shoreline that covers a 24.5-acre (99,000 m2) section of northwestern Grant Park. The area was previously occupied by parkland, Illinois Central's rail yards, and parking lots.[1] The park, which is bounded by Michigan Avenue, Randolph Street, Columbus Drive and East Monroe Drive, features a variety of public art. As of 2009, Millennium Park trailed only Navy Pier as a Chicago tourist attraction and by 2017 it had become the number one tourist attraction in the Midwestern United States. In 2015, the park became the location of the city's annual Christmas tree lighting.
Planning of the park began in October 1997. Construction began in October 1998, and Millennium Park was opened in a ceremony on July 16, 2004, four years behind schedule. The three-day opening celebrations were attended by some 300,000 people and included an inaugural concert by the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus. The park has received awards for its accessibility and green design.[2] Millennium Park has free admission,[3] and features the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Cloud Gate, the Crown Fountain, the Lurie Garden, and various other attractions. The park is connected by the BP Pedestrian Bridge and the Nichols Bridgeway to other parts of Grant Park. Because the park sits atop a parking garage and the commuter rail Millennium Station, it is considered the world's largest rooftop garden.
Some observers consider Millennium Park the city's most important project since the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.[3][4] It far exceeded its originally proposed budget of $150 million. The final cost of $475 million was borne by Chicago taxpayers and private donors. The city paid $270 million; private donors paid the rest,[5] and assumed roughly half of the financial responsibility for the cost overruns.[6] The construction delays and cost overruns were attributed to poor planning, many design changes, and cronyism. Many critics have praised the completed park.
In 2017, Millennium Park was the top tourist destination in Chicago and the Midwest, and placed among the top ten in the United States with 25 million annual visitors.[7]

CHICAGO/ THE WINDY CITY/ CHI-TOWN
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Chicago Fire of 1871, which left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900 Chicago was the fifth largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts at the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is the largest and most diverse derivatives market globally, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures. O'Hare International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world, and the region also has the largest number of U.S. highways and greatest amount of railroad freight.

In addition, the city has one of the world's most diversified and balanced economies, not being dependent on any one industry, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce.
The city ranked first place in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities.The city is also home to several fortune 500 companies, the most notable being, Allstate, Boeing, Exelon, McDonald's, Quaker Oats, and United Airlines Holdings.

The 11-person team hails from Tong Liang County in the northwestern part of the country. It's known as the home of the art of the dragon dance. The troupe is like the hall of fame of dragon dancing.
They've performed at Chinese national ceremonies, including a 1982 performance at Tiananmen Square and at the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing.
The visit was organized by People's Republic of China's Chicago consulate and was aided by representatives from a state-run media entity, the Chongqing Administration of Culture Radio and TV.
The Dragon's robe, which cloaks the dancer, has three tiers. Starting from top down, golden yellow represents the earth , fiery red stands for heaven, and ocean blue for the sea. The body of Tong Liang Big Worm Dragon comprises 24 sections, symbolizing the 24 solar terms of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
