It's truly a magical world of glass. With approximately 100,000 glass items—vibrant, crystal-clear, and exquisitely crafted—the displays are dazzling and overwhelming. 🗽Watkins Glen Located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, Watkins Glen features sedimentary rock formations shaped by glacial and stream erosion into unique landscapes. Along a two-mile gorge trail, you’ll encounter numerous waterfalls. With excellent hiking trails offering close-up waterfall views and picturesque natural scenery, it's a perfect photo spot for visitors, known as the 'Millennial Gorge'. 🗽Finger Lakes The Finger Lakes region in western New York consists of a series of long, narrow glacial lakes resembling fingers—though there are more than five lakes. The lakes flow northward into Lake Ontario. D2 Niagara Falls (Niagarafalls) > New York (New York) Niagara Falls is considered one of the most spectacular sights in the world and is especially popular among honeymooners.

The rushing water swirls back, forming a massive whirlpool. Whirlpool State Park is peaceful, equipped with BBQ grills and picnic tables. From above, you can overlook the giant whirlpool. A trail leads down to the valley floor, allowing you to walk along the river. Visitors may ride an aerial tram or take a jet boat into the whirlpool for an exhilarating experience. 🗽Old Fort Niagara Built in 1726, Old Fort Niagara has over 300 years of history and is considered a historical landmark of the United States—a crucial gateway into the Great Lakes and inland America. The fort has three levels, constructed with granite stone both inside and out. Facilities include a chapel, mess hall, well, dormitories, storage rooms, and gun emplacements. Surrounded by moats and watchtowers with cannons displayed, it was designed to be easily defensible. Behind the fort lies the vast expanse of Lake Ontario, one of the American Great Lakes. 🗽Maid of the Mist Since its maiden voyage in 1846, the Maid of the Mist boat tour has remained the most iconic way to experience Niagara Falls. Dressed in thin blue raincoats, boarding the white double-decker vessel begins an incredibly thrilling journey. Though appearing historic, the sturdy boats ferry tourists between the U.S. and Canadian falls. The powerful cascade rushes toward you like a galloping army, and amid the misty spray, you can feel the raw force and magnitude of the falls. 🗽Niagara Falls Niagara Falls lies in the middle section of the Niagara River on the U.S.-Canada border, collectively recognized with South America’s Iguazu Falls and Africa’s Victoria Falls as one of the world’s three great waterfalls. Its grand scale and immense volume of mist captivate and震撼 all visitors. Water from Lake Erie flows here and suddenly plunges 51 meters. The massive cascade crashes down the cliff like a falling galaxy, audible for miles, creating a breathtakingly powerful scene. Niagara Falls consists of three separate falls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls, located in Canada, curves like a horseshoe. American Falls lies on the U.S. side, separated from Horseshoe Falls by Goat Island. Bridal Veil Falls, also on the U.S. side, is separated by Luna Island. The U.S. side offers only a side view of Niagara Falls, while Canada provides a full panoramic view. 🗽Cave of the Winds The 'Cave of the Winds' is a vertical shaft excavated in the 1930s by workers using basic tools for geological surveying. An elevator descends directly to the base of the 'Bridal Veil Falls,' allowing visitors to walk along wooden stairs for close-up views of the waterfall. 【Buy 2 Get 2 Free, Buy 2 Get 1 Free】Promotion Details (Valid for bookings made from now until October 31, 2025) * For triple or quadruple occupancy in one room, enjoy Buy 2 Get 1 Free or Buy 2 Get 2 Free discounts. * The cost for three or four guests sharing one room equals the price for two guests.
