#USATravel #RestaurantRecommendation 📍1905 Buford Mill Dr, Buford, GA 30519 United States 🕐 11:00 - 21:00 Wow When you think of America, you think of barbecue ribs🥩 I went to a barbecue restaurant in Buford, Atlanta that my sister took me to! I was really excited because it looked like an American restaurant from the entrance🫶 If you order the sonny's sampler menu here, you can eat various kinds of barbecue, so order it! In addition, I ordered the menus for my nephews, sangria, and cola! There's barbecue sauce on the side, so you can dip it according to your taste! And especially delicious is coleslaw🫶 It's delicious in Korea, but coleslaw in the US is the best🌽 Every time I ordered a menu, cornbread came with it, so eating it with bread was also great For drinks, I don't recommend sangria, except for cola🫠 Sonny's BBQ is a barbecue chain, so when you travel to the US, it's a restaurant worth visiting at least once🤚🤚

Bird aviary at Zoo Atlanta. This is just one of the many types of birds you can see when you visit. They also have lots of family friendly hands on areas for good photo ops. Great place to take the kids that is outside and educational. Family fun. #givethanks #zooatlanta #givethanks

Certainly animals are the main attractions at Zoo Atlanta, but for younger kids they also have the trolly train and a merry go round. Playing on the animal sculptures is also entertaining. One of the best zoos we have visited. Family friendly. #givethanks #zooatlanta #givethanks

We visit the zoo in Atlanta often. A family membership can be a good value. It is one of the few zoos in the USA where you can see pandas. But the elephants and speak are also favorites. So luck to live in this city. #givethanks #zooatlanta #atlanta #givethanks

During the day, this place is bustling with tourists, but after closing time, the crowds disperse, leaving only dim blue lighting and the sound of flowing water. Lying in front of the massive viewing window, watching stingrays, sharks, and schools of fish slowly glide overhead, truly feels like sleeping in an underwater world. Waking up in the early hours, the sight of marine life quietly swimming by remains unchanged, and the entire space is serene, with only the shimmering light of water waves. Compared to a regular hotel, this feels more like a childhood dream adventure—laying out a sleeping bag in an aquarium and spending a night as neighbors with the ocean. Sleep Under the Sea ✔️ This is probably the most unique night I've ever spent. 💡 The aquarium provides mats, so you only need to bring your pillow and blanket! 💡 Before bedtime (around 9 PM), they hand out a few bags of snacks, and there’s a simple breakfast arrangement when you wake up (you’ll need to get up at 6:15 AM) (breakfast is shown in photo 14). They also provide sleep masks, which you can take home. 💡 Sleeping areas are assigned by your team leader (so far, I know of two: 1. Whale Shark Gallery, 2. Underwater Tunnel Gallery). You cannot choose your own spot. 💡 The adults-only sleepover event happens once a year, but you can usually book a family sleepover. You can directly reserve the Sleep Under the Sea experience at the Georgia Aquarium. The sleepover schedule is shown in the last photo, so check it out if you’re interested. ‼️ Atlanta doesn’t have much to offer, so if you’re coming just for this event, a one-day round trip is enough!

Location: Downtown Atlanta, Georgia, USA Design Firm: HOK Architecture Capacity: Approximately 71,000 World Cup Highlights: Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha's seven incredible saves against Spain, Argentina vs. Egypt in the Round of 16 on July 8 at 1:00 AM, and hosting a high-profile semifinal match on July 15. ✨ Core Positioning: The first professional sports stadium in North America to achieve LEED Platinum certification, seamlessly blending an unparalleled viewing experience with green sustainability. Inspired by the dome of the ancient Roman Pantheon, the designers abandoned the traditional retractable roof concept. Instead, they created a roof composed of eight triangular ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) translucent "petals" that slide simultaneously along 16 tracks, opening and closing in just minutes. The visual effect resembles a giant camera shutter, showcasing a stunning mechanical aesthetic. Inside the stadium, visitors will be awestruck by the massive 360-degree circular HD video screen suspended beneath the roof opening. Measuring 58 feet (approximately 17.6 meters) in height and 1,100 feet (approximately 335 meters) in circumference, this rare feature in global stadiums perfectly complements the geometric design of the roof and provides an immersive viewing experience for every seat in the venue. The stadium's façade breaks away from the traditional boxy design, featuring angular surfaces resembling a falcon's wings. One side boasts a 16-story-high transparent wall known as the "Window to the City," which not only floods the interior with natural light but also offers fans breathtaking views of Atlanta's skyline from inside the venue. Exceptional Green Sustainability and Healthy Landscaping: The stadium's "eco-friendly core" is remarkably gentle, achieving record-breaking scores to earn LEED Platinum certification: · Super "Sponge System": Equipped with an advanced rainwater management system, including an underground reservoir capable of collecting 2 million gallons of rainwater, reducing overall water usage by 47% compared to standard facilities. · Solar Power: Over 4,000 solar panels installed on-site generate renewable energy sufficient to power multiple large-scale events. · Community Eco-Reinvestment: Instead of vast concrete plazas, the surrounding area features 13 acres of green space and edible landscaping, creating a community oasis for local residents to relax and interact on non-event days. Atlanta Stadium redefines the concept of massive sports venues by addressing the challenges of heavy structures and high energy consumption. With its awe-inspiring dynamic architectural aesthetics and cutting-edge green technology, it proves that world-class event venues can indeed possess a "green soul."

Nothing, each statue is simply equipped with a speaker and motion sensor. As you approach, popular songs by the artist begin playing.

✨ Review of Caucasus Mountain Villages – Georgia ✨ The villages in the Caucasus Mountains feel like they're hidden away in the middle of a high mountain valley. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks in winter and lush green hills in summer, the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, perfect for those seeking escape from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Most of the houses are traditional old stone houses, built in rows along the mountainside. As you walk past, you'll smell the grass and earth, and feel the cool breeze that blows all day long. The villagers are kind and friendly, giving a simple and warm feeling, like being in another world. The sunrise and sunset are not to be missed. The sky changes from orange to pink to soft purple, stretching majestically over the high mountain peaks, creating a breathtaking spectacle. You can also trek along nature trails, admiring streams, small waterfalls, and herds of cows or sheep grazing freely – a truly unspoiled and beautiful natural scene. The mountain air is quite cool year-round, especially at night and in the morning. It's recommended to bring warm clothing and comfortable hiking shoes. The effort of the hike will be compensated by the breathtaking views. Overall, the villages in the Caucasus Mountains feel like time has stopped; they are a place where you can listen to your heart. Nestled amidst towering mountains, vast skies, and breathtakingly pristine nature. 🏔️🤍
