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&#39;s name is carved in gold. Philip Johnson, the designer of the monument, successfully conveyed his respect for the president: &quot;a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth.&quot;

The American Airlines Center is a basketball venue and the home of the famous Texas team, the Dallas Mavericks. This basketball arena is very famous and is also the home of a championship team. It is very interesting.

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.

always have seasonal beautiful flowers and shrubs arrangements. great place for picnics, or just walking in the beauty of nature

The Dallas World Aquarium

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.
