Located in the Midwestern United States, Chicago is the largest city in Illinois and the third largest city in the United States. As a major economic, cultural and transportation hub, Chicago is known for its distinctive architecture, rich art scene and spectacular skyline along Lake Michigan. Iconic attractions include the "Cloud Gate" sculpture in Millennium Park, the Willis Tower observation deck and Navy Pier. The city has a culinary culture that includes deep-dish pizza and is one of the birthplaces of blues music and modern architecture. Its four-season climate and diverse neighborhoods make it a popular destination for global travelers and business investment.
Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, is situated at the southern foot of the Caucasus Mountains, with the Kura River running through the city, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. With a history of nearly 1,800 years, this ancient city is a blend of Persian, Turkish and Russian civilizations. The Old Town, with its stone pavements and sulphur baths, as well as Orthodox churches and mosques, is uniquely inclusive. The landmark Narikala Castle overlooks the city, the golden dome of the Holy Trinity Church shines, and the solemnity of medieval religious art can be felt when strolling beside the Rila Monastery. As the birthplace of the world's wines, Tbilisi has a deep culture of wine cellars, and the Caucasian flavor of khachapuri (cheese bread) and khinkali (dumplings) is paired with Georgian cuisine. With four distinct seasons, spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage, it is the ideal gateway to explore the beauty of Caucasian civilization and nature.
