We were there the day that the tree arrived! Many people crowded around to watch the unveiling. The ice skating ring was also opened to the public.

Chicago The Musical

Classic songs, the performance is so camouflaged, the band and the dancers are seamless, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. You must experience it when you go to New York. The stage is not big, and the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the wonderful moments of the dancers.

Ctrip&#39;s service is very good. It is worth watching, the view is very wide, and the photos are more photogenic. There is no diagonal under the 24-meter cantilever, and the 2.7-meter glass is strongly inclined at 6.6 degrees. The building is of high quality. Buying tickets through Ctrip is more cost-effective than buying tickets on site. Highly recommended.
