Ithaca Falls
Cornell University not only provides a good academic environment, but also has great scenery on campus. Just like this beautiful waterfall.Ithaca · 1.3 km from downtown
Buttermilk Falls State Park
The Milk Falls in the town of Ithaca is very good. The drop of the waterfall is not very large, but due to the special landform, the water seems to flow down one step after another. There are a lot of foam in the water, so it seems to be milk. After flowing down, you can also climb the mountain along the road next to the waterfall and find the source of the waterfall.Town of Ithaca · 4.1 km from Ithaca

There is a fascinating trail here, as well as a spectacular waterfall, and a three-kilometer canyon. We enjoyed our short time here. There is a swimming pool suitable for all seasons by the waterfall. There are plenty of places to charge on the boulevard.Enfield · 7.5 km from Ithaca

Visiting the Empire State Building was one of the highlights of New York. The observation deck offers incredible views across Manhattan, and seeing the city from above really gives you a different perspective. I’d recommend going around sunset if possible, so you can enjoy the skyline in daylight and watch the city lights come on. An iconic NYC experience! 🗽🌆✨

Definitely worth a visit – the collection is vast!
It seems the US takes a more casual approach to its collections; without planning, you might miss the most prized possessions – unlike the UK.
Visiting after more than a month, I noticed a significant difference in atmosphere.
If I had to choose, I'd pick the UK.

The fifth-floor exhibition area is its highlight, featuring stunning works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso, well worth a visit. Van Gogh's famous Starry Night, in particular, is truly breathtaking.

This time, I finally got to experience the SUMMIT observation deck at One Vanderbilt in New York City, and it truly lived up to its official certification as an amazing spot! A perfect 5/5 experience, I have to recommend it to all you photo enthusiasts!
✨Key Highlights: What's it like to stand opposite the Empire State Building and look at it from across the street? Here, there's a unique sense of "looking at each other." The immersive combination of mirrors, lights, and background music transforms the Manhattan skyline into a flowing art exhibition. The large glass window on the right-hand side of the second floor (pay attention!) offers a textbook-perfect postcard-perfect view of the city!
👠Tips for Ladies: There's a hidden danger on the ground! Some sections of the transparent glass walkway require shoe covers, so those who love heels should bring a pair of flats. The opening hours are super friendly (8:00-23:59), so even night owls can enjoy the dazzling night view.
