2/ Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is the waterfall of the Niagara River, the largest and most powerful in North America with a majestic beauty that few places can match. Niagara Falls consists of 3 separate falls: the Horseshoe Fall located on the Canadian side, sometimes also called the Canadian Falls; the American Fall located between the US-Canada border, and a smaller nearby fall known as the Bridal Veil Fall. Although not very high, the Niagara Falls are very wide: the Horseshoe Fall is about 53m high and over 790m wide, while the American Fall is 323m wide.
Niagara is one of the world’s famous waterfalls bestowed by nature. Traveling to the United States at any time of the year, visitors will be captivated by the majestic scenery and the allure of Niagara Falls.
To fully appreciate the beauty of Niagara – one of the top 10 most magnificent and beautiful waterfalls in the world, the most reasonable and convenient way is to explore by boat. The boats slowly run on the Niagara River so that visitors can admire the scenery on both sides of the river before entering the heart of the falls. Before boarding the boat, tourists are provided with raincoats. If standing on the boat’s deck, even with a raincoat on, when the boat approaches the base of the falls, visitors will still be hit by the water sprays like rain on their faces and bodies. But this not only adds excitement but also a sense of fun. If you visit Niagara Falls on a sunny day, you will experience the sight of the waterfalls spraying white foam under the sunlight, creating a shimmering rainbow, a surreal corner of the sky.
It is because of this natural beauty that you must visit Niagara Falls when traveling to the United States, Let’s admire some images of Niagara Falls:

Construction began on January 5, 1933, and the cost for the project amounted to over 35,000,000 USD. When completed in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world and has become an international symbol of San Francisco, California, and the United States as a whole.

Grand Prismatic Spring is a hot spring located in the Midway Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. The spring is named Grand Prismatic due to its vibrant colors. The surface of the spring resembles the dispersion of white light through an optical prism, displaying colors ranging from red, orange, yellow, and green to blue.
In spring, this hot spring is a vibrant and colorful painting, sometimes orange, red, yellow, green, or sky blue. Due to the high temperature of the water in the lake, no living organisms can survive in it, but on the cooler lake shore, microorganisms still thrive.
Scientists explain that the unique color-changing phenomenon of Grand Prismatic Spring is due to pigment-producing bacteria growing on the microbial mats around the lake. The bacteria produce various colors depending on the ratio of chlorophyll and water temperature. You will be mesmerized by the colors when visiting Grand Prismatic Spring.
