Traveling is a major hobby for new immigrants in the United States. When in Texas, what cities are worth visiting? Worldway's U.S. immigration experts will introduce you to the most charming metropolis—Dallas.
Dallas is the third-largest city in Texas, the ninth-largest city in the United States, and part of the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country. Furthermore, Dallas is classified as a Gamma world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network at Loughborough University, meaning it is a small world-class city.
Worldway's U.S. immigration experts kindly remind you: when traveling to Dallas, do not miss these ten charming spots:
1、Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in March 2012, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge has become another landmark of Dallas, appearing on the covers of numerous magazines. The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge spans the Trinity River, connecting the Woodall Rodgers Freeway in Downtown Dallas with Singleton Boulevard. The bridge is supported by 40 steel cables attached to a massive central arch. Looking up, the bridge appears like a giant work of art suspended against the Dallas skyline. At night, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge blends with the neon lights of downtown Dallas to create a beautiful, bustling urban nightscape, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
2、Celebration Park
Fully completed in 2010, Celebration Park is located in the city of Allen. Covering 104 acres, it is Allen's newest community park. The park features a 1.5-mile trail, which is perfect for both cycling and leisurely walks. On weekends, many families bring their children here to play, and you will also see sports-loving young people playing soccer, tennis, or baseball. The ground-level spray park is a favorite among children, and in the summer, you can hear their joyful laughter from afar.
3、Thanks-Giving Park
If you are visiting Dallas during the winter holidays and want to add a destination that fits the festive atmosphere to your itinerary, Thanks-Giving Park is the perfect choice. The park's chapel was designed by world-renowned architect Philip Johnson. The circular roof of the chapel is inlaid with 73 stained-glass panels. As sunlight streams through the glass roof, it casts layers of colorful halos that gently touch the hearts of visitors, instantly evoking a sense of gratitude. If you want to learn about the origin of the name Thanks-Giving Park and the significance of the chapel, you might want to explore it for yourself.
4、White Rock Lake Park
As one of the most famous parks in the Dallas area, White Rock Lake Park is built around the renowned White Rock Lake and covers a total area of 1,015 acres. With its beautiful scenery of hills and water, visitors can jog, hike, birdwatch, or fish here, breathing in the fresh air of nature. At dusk, it is an excellent place to watch the sunset; as the sun slowly dips below the horizon, the bustling city fades into tranquility before the eyes of the visitors. For dog lovers, there is a dedicated dog park where pets can be unleashed to run and play happily.
5、Pioneer Plaza
To delve into the history of Dallas, Pioneer Plaza is a landmark not to be missed. From the migration trails of early settlers to the native flora and fauna, and from the cattle that symbolize Texas's productivity to the large statues of Western cowboys, every plant and design element in Pioneer Plaza strives to restore the original appearance of this land, offering visitors a unique perspective on a century of history.
6、Crow Collection of Asian Art
The Crow Collection of Asian Art was established by the Crow family foundation in 1998 and consists of four light-filled galleries. The first floor features exhibits of Japanese scrolls, screens, ceramics, and other artworks. The second floor displays various jade pieces and treasures from ancient Chinese feudal dynasties. The third gallery on the second floor showcases art from India, Southeast Asia, Nepal, and other Asian regions. Visiting the Crow to witness these exquisite collections allows visitors to immerse themselves in an ocean of art, transcending time and space, and forgetting that they are in the United States while admiring such precious Asian art.
7、Dallas Museum of Art
Founded in 1903, the Dallas Museum of Art is one of the most outstanding art museums in the United States, famous for its rich collection of art from around the world, innovative exhibitions, and groundbreaking educational programs. The museum houses over 22,000 works of art from across the globe, spanning 5,000 years of human history, including paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from ancient America, Africa, South Asia, and Europe.

In this spacious and bright museum, visitors can enjoy works by famous artists such as Monet and Mondrian, and indulge in the spiritual nourishment that art provides.
8、John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza
On November 22, 1963, the 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed while riding in an open-top limousine through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, accompanied by his wife and Texas Governor John Connally. To commemorate Kennedy, this John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza was built just one block away from the site of the assassination. Architect Philip Johnson designed a 30-foot-high, 50-foot-square monument on the plaza to honor President Kennedy. This massive "open tomb" has become one of the landmarks of Dallas.
9、McKinney Avenue Trolley
Sometimes, changing your mode of transportation can bring a different mood. On a beautiful, sunny day, buy a cup of coffee, put on your headphones to play a gentle guitar melody, and board the M-Line vintage trolley. Along the way, admire the diverse architectural styles of the Uptown area, feel the traces of time left in this city, and enjoy the little beauties of life found everywhere. On busy days, why not hop on the trolley and give your soul a break?
10、Klyde Warren Park
Klyde Warren Park is located between Downtown and Uptown Dallas, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, like a rose blooming amidst the noise, allowing people to forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The park is well-equipped with facilities, including a dog park, children's play areas, fitness equipment, and tables and chairs for people to rest. In addition, the park frequently hosts interesting free events, such as concerts, yoga, and outdoor movies. Here, you can have a picnic on the grass or taste delicious snacks provided by the food trucks parked along the edge of the park; food is also an indispensable part of the experience here.
Worldway's U.S. immigration experts analyze that many people immigrate to the United States because they are attracted by the high-quality environment and lifestyle. To enjoy these advantages of the United States, obtaining legal resident status is essential. The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is highly popular due to its simple application requirements and short processing cycles. One person applies, and the whole family immigrates. After obtaining a green card, you can freely enter and exit the United States, live and work in any region of the U.S., and there is no requirement to stay in the country for a specific period.
For the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program, the key to success lies in choosing the right project. In the 2015 fiscal year, the U.S. investment immigration program will face major events such as the arrival of visa backlogs, a surge in applications, and the expiration of the Regional Center program, and it is highly likely that the investment amount will be increased. Therefore, choosing an EB-5 project that has been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has become the best choice to cope with uncertainties. The Pennsylvania Highway project and the New York Liberty Garden luxury apartment project launched by Worldway are both high-quality EB-5 projects pre-approved by the USCIS.
