Chicago cruise, a dream trip at sunset.

Chicago is a charming city, and taking a cruise at sunset is an unforgettable experience. If you have purchased a CityPass, the cruise operated by ShoreLine Sightseeing is definitely a highlight. The boarding point is located at 401 N. Michigan Ave, just behind the large Apple Store. Go down the stairs and head towards the lake, and you will see a clear queue sign. To get the best viewing and shooting position, such as the bow or the unobstructed seats on both sides of the ship, it is recommended to arrive 30 minutes in advance. However, there is a place that is easy to confuse and needs special attention. There are boarding entrances of different cruise companies on all four sides of the large intersection by the river, and some entrances are very conspicuous on the side of the road, which can easily mislead tourists. Therefore, be sure to find the Apple Store and go down the stairs next to it, which is the correct boarding point for the CityPass cruise. I experienced it in mid-August, and I took the 6:45 pm cruise. I thought the summer night would be warm, but it was not. I put on all four short sleeves I had in my bag, but I still couldn't resist the cold, and my arms were freezing. Therefore, if you plan to take a cruise before and after sunset, be sure to bring a warm coat, because the weather in Chicago is unpredictable, and it may be cool even in summer. When the cruise slowly leaves the pier, the afterglow of the sunset gently falls on the water, and the waves are rippling, like a dream. The buildings along the way come into view one by one, the ancient European-style buildings exude the charm of history, and the modern skyscrapers show the vitality and prosperity of the city. On one side is the bustling city street, with heavy traffic and excitement; on the other side is the endless Lake Michigan, where the lake and the sky merge into one under the sunset, and the junction of the water and the sky seems to be a natural picture. As the sun gradually sets, the sky is dyed with colorful colors, orange, purple, and golden yellow intertwined with each other, echoing the bright lights of the city, forming a beautiful night scene. On the cruise, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, feel the breeze, and listen to the unique movement composed of the hustle and bustle of the city and the waves of the lake. Whether sharing this happy time with family and friends or immersing yourself in this romantic atmosphere alone, it is a different experience. In short, the cruise trip in Chicago from dusk to sunset is like a dream trip through time and beautiful scenery. As long as you prepare in advance, find the boarding location and bring warm clothes, you can enjoy this incredible beauty and leave a precious and unforgettable travel memory.
