How much do you know about Chicago in the United States? You might think it's a big city—and you're absolutely right! Chicago is actually the third most populous city in the US, right after New York City and Los Angeles.
"The Windy City" is Chicago's most famous nickname, and it's well-deserved. The city lies next to Lake Michigan, so strong winds often blow through the streets.
Chicago is also famous for its art and culture. The Art Institute of Chicago is the top place to visit in the city. It's not just a school; it's also a world-class museum with many amazing artworks.
If you don't feel like visiting a museum, Millennium Park is a great choice. This park is home to the famous Cloud Gate, which looks like a big shining bean. Many tourists love taking photos with this unique sculpture.
There are lots of fun things to do in Chicago. If you enjoy heights, don't miss the Willis Tower! You can climb to the top and step into a glass box. You'll be standing high above the city, but don't worry—this glass box is completely safe. Doesn't Chicago sound like an exciting city to visit?
51. What is Chicago's rank in terms of population in the United States?
52. Why is Chicago called "The Windy City"?
53. What is special about the Art Institute of Chicago?
54. What does Cloud Gate in Millennium Park look like?
55. What can visitors do at the Willis Tower if they enjoy heights?
