The Corning Museum of Glass
The world-renowned Corning Glass Center is located in Corning, a small town with unique style and quaint flavor in upstate New York. Although it is a small city, it is the center of the American glass industry. The status of Corning's glassand porcelain in the United States is just like the status of Jingdezhen porcelain in China, and it is also well-known in the world. Corning Glass Center can be said to be a magical glass world. Corning Glass Center has about 100,000 pieces of glass boutiques and artistic sculptures on display. These exquisite glass products are either colorful or crystal clear, dazzling and overwhelming. The Glass Center is not only a glass museum, but also a factory for the production of glass strengthening, glassware and handicrafts, and a store that sells glass and crystal products such as sunglasses, necklaces, pins, etc.
Watkins Glen State Park
Watkins Glen is located in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, USA. It is a stratified rock geology, which has been eroded by glaciers and streams, forming a unique landform. There are more than a dozen waterfalls along the approximately two-mile canyon trail. There are excellent canyon trails, waterfalls that can be admired up close, and pleasing natural scenery, providing tourists with an excellent photo spot, and it is known as the "Millennium Valley".
Finger Lake
The Finger Lakes are located in the northwest of New York State. They are a scenic spot consisting of 14 long and narrow lakes. They are named because they are arranged vertically from south to north and look like fingers. Many Hollywood stars have vacation villas or estates here.

Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge, spanning the border between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States. Formed by the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario before going out to Atlantic by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the combined falls have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America that has a vertical drop of more than 50 m (160 ft). Then we will go to Clinton Square, where the music and food are combined.
Itinerary:
Niagara Falls Classic Tour (Optional, 2.5 hours, including Whirlpool Park + Cave of the Winds + Maid of The Mist) → Clinton Square (90 mins with dinner time)
Niagara Whirlpool State Park
The Niagara Whirlpool is 125 feet deep and was formed by water erosion 7,500 years ago. It is located where the Niagara River suddenly turns northeast from the northwest. The rapid river water flows back after the change of direction, forming a huge whirlpool. The park is very quiet, with barbecue pits and picnic tables. Standing on them, you can overlook the whirlpool below, which is very spectacular.
Cave of the Winds
The entrance to the Cave of the Winds is on Goat Island, where there is a small museum and a small cinema. You can then take an elevator down 53 meters in the Niagara Gorge cave to the bottom of the valley. Standing at the foot of the falls, looking up, you will see the falls rushing down with overwhelming momentum, which can't help but make people feel passionate and resonate with nature.
Maid of The Mist
The Maid of the Mist is the most monumental boat trip in the United States since 1846. There is no better way to experience Niagara Falls in the United States. Put on a blue raincoat and take aboard the dreamy Maid of the Mist boat to experience the refreshing mist, surging waves, and roaring waterfalls produced by more than 2 million liters of water per second. As a unique fleet of yachts, under the skilled command of captains, they have been sailing safely in the waves of the Niagara Gorge for more than 100 years and have carried tens of millions of tourists directly into the depths of the misty water.

Clinton Square
Clinton Square began in 1825 at the junction of the Erie Canal, New York State’s early turnpike system, and the road to America’s largest salt works. Clinton Square is named for DeWitt Clinton, three-term mayor of New York City, two-term governor of New York State, and a leading figure in the creation of the Erie Canal. Downtown Syracuse’s central square, it is rich in history. Among many other things, it is the site of one of the first abolitionist "mob actions" in the North to free an imprisoned fugitive slave: the October 1, 1851, rescue of William "Jerry" Henry, remembered as the "Jerry Rescue." In 1910, it was repurposed into a public square with the dedication of a Civil War monument.
