The sixth floor museum, located in downtown Dallas, was built to commemorate the assassination of former President Kennedy. It is called the sixth floor because three bullets from killer Lee Hanoi Oswald were fired from the sixth floor of the building that was once a textbook warehouse
John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza

The monument is designed to be suspended from top to bottom and enclosed in four directions. There is only one piece of black marble on the floor of the monument, on which Kennedy's name is carved in gold. Philip Johnson, the designer of the monument, successfully conveyed his respect for the president: "a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth."
Dallas Museum of Art
小小呆60
This art museum is quite large, with a very rich collection, and almost every piece is a fine product. I am most interested in the Asian and American Pavilions, where you can see many exquisite cultural relics and artworks.

White Rock Lake Park

White Rock Lake was built in 1911 and is the water source for the city of Dallas. After 1927, the city government built a park around the lake, which is about a hundred years old. There are greenways around the lake for hiking and cycling. The inner circle close to the lake is 14 kilometers (9 miles) and the outer circle is 18 kilometers (11 miles). The circumference is estimated to be larger than that of West Lake in Hangzhou. A circle around West Lake is about 10 kilometers. There are many parking spaces around the lake, as well as public toilets and drinking water outlets. There is a dam in the southeast corner of the lake, where many egrets rest. Usually, most of the residents living in the surrounding area are running or cycling for morning exercises, and some people do nothing but sit by the lake and stare at the water. On weekends, many people drive here with bicycles. This is a good place to get close to nature.
The Dallas World Aquarium
西行阿里
The Dallas World Aquarium was the biggest surprise of this trip. It was more fun and beautiful than any other attraction in the Dallas Citypass. Perhaps because of this, the attractions in the Citypass do not include the aquarium, and the tickets have to be purchased separately for about $25.
Visiting the aquarium is an exciting thing, especially before entering the door, you can see the full forest style layout at the door. There are big birds outside the door, and you can also see little penguins playing in the water from the side. After entering, go directly to the second floor, first there are birds, then small animals such as monkeys and sloths, and then marine animals. I have to say that there is a lobby in DWA that is divided into many small areas on the wall. There are different marine animals in each small window, and the name of the sea area is also marked on it.
DWA is generally good, and the layout is good. There are rarely a group of people crowded together. The place feels small, but we still see a lot of animals.
