Grace_cytTingtao Villa is located on the seaside. You can hear the sound of the waves directly, hence the name Tingtao Villa. The building is very beautiful, and the decoration inside is magnificent and shocking. There is also a mini villa in the garden, which is a building suitable for children to play. It looks quite interesting. It was raining that day, and when we visited the indoors and came to the outdoors, there was heavy fog. We could hardly see the sea view, and could only hear the sound of the waves. It was really like listening to the waves. The whole scenic spot took about one and a half hours to two hours to visit. Tingtao Villa is more than an hour's drive from Boston one way. If you are in a tight schedule, it is not recommended to go there.

palettes_nyThis gorgeous stone palace, Marble Villa, is a more luxurious summer home. It was built for William K. Vanderbilt and his wife from 1888 to 1892. It was Vanderbilt's 39th birthday gift to his wife. The house villa was inspired by the Petit Trianon in the Palace of Versailles. The Chinese teahouse in the garden behind the castle is also a major feature of this castle. I feel that after visiting Newport Castle for too many times, there will be aesthetic fatigue, but the Chinese teahouse on the large lawn here is impressive. It is said that the hostess of this teahouse also held a rally for women's voting rights here. Standing on the lawn, you can see the blue sea at a glance. Compared with the Chateau-sur-Mer mansion, the interior decoration of this castle is more exquisite and magnificent, and many carvings and murals are also incorporated into the decoration.
