点评:The John Hancock building was completed in 1969. It took 5 years to build it and is an iconic 100-story, 1,128-foot supertall skyscraper located along the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Now it is also known as the 875 North Michigan Avenue building. Its distinctive exterior diagonal X-bracing steel exoskeleton efficiently resists Chicago's heavy winds from Lake Michigan and can be seen from many angles.
My daughter and I went there to experience the TILT THRILL RIDE, which is a unique moving glass platform that tilts guests outward at a 30-degree angle, suspending them more than 1,000 feet above Michigan Avenue and all the tall skycrapers. We loved it but it was over so fast. It is on the 94th Floor.
We also enjoyed the 360 CHICAGO right after the Tilt and is also on the 94th floor! The observation deck offers sweeping panoramic views spanning Lake Michigan and up to four neighboring states. It was AMAZING!
There is also the CloudBar for signature drinks with seats by the huge windows and a gift shop. You also get to experience fast destination elevators traveling at 1,800 feet per minute as you leave the building. A must see while in Chicago!
翻译:约翰·汉考克大楼于1969年竣工。它的建造过程耗时5年,是一座极具标志性的超高层建筑——共100层,高度达1,128英尺,坐落于芝加哥的“壮丽大道”上。如今,它也被称作“北密歇根大道875号大楼”。其外观最显著的特征便是呈对角线分布的X形钢结构框架,这一设计能有效抵御来自密歇根湖的强风;从多个角度都能看到这一独特结构。
我和女儿前往那里体验了“倾斜惊险游乐设施”。这是一个独一无二的移动式玻璃平台,它能将游客向外倾斜30度角,让人仿佛悬停在距离密歇根大道及周围众多摩天大楼上方1000多英尺的高空。我们超喜欢这个体验,不过时间过得也太快了。它位于94楼。
在体验完“Tilt”之后,我们又去了360 CHICAGO观景台,它同样也在94楼!从这个观景台可以饱览密歇根湖以及周边四个州的壮丽全景。简直太棒了!这里还有提供特色饮品的CloudBar,顾客可以坐在大窗户旁的座位上欣赏风景,此外还有一家礼品店。离开大楼时,您还能体验以每分钟1800英尺的速度运行的快速直达电梯。在芝加哥,这里绝对值得一游!
