The Big Blue Bear is also called the Peeping Bear. It is located outside the Denver Convention Center. It is about 40 feet tall. It gently rests its paws on the glass of the Denver Convention Center and looks inside, as if curious about what is going on inside. The surface of the Big Blue Bear is composed of more than 4,000 triangles, and the surface is made of very rare lapis lazuli, so the overall appearance is charming blue.

The 16th Street Mall is located in downtown Denver, the capital of Colorado. Designed by the famous architect I.M. Pei, this pedestrian promenade is made of red, white and gray granite, and its shape resembles the skin of a rattlesnake when viewed from above. There are 42 outdoor cafes along the mall, making it a great place to eat or have a drink.

The Colorado State Capitol is located on East Coffax Avenue in downtown Denver. It is the home of the Colorado General Assembly and the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Colorado. The building was designed by Elijah E. Myers and built in the 1890s with Colorado white granite. It was officially put into use in November 1894. The Colorado State Capitol is located slightly higher than other buildings in downtown Denver. The dome tower of the Capitol is 180 feet high and is printed with the initials of the 16 founders of Denver.

Denver Art Museum This museum is an art museum with a high altitude and modern art architecture in the United States. The collection of artworks is very wide, ranging from Asia to Europe, and also collects many collections from China, such as: pottery from the Han Dynasty and tri-color ceramics from the Tang Dynasty, clothing and jade from the Qing Dynasty, and authentic paintings by artists such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Cheng Shifa. The museum's exterior design is also very distinctive, a combination of abstract and structuralist styles. In addition to more than 70,000 works of art from Europe and America, the sharp-angled appearance echoes the Rocky Mountains behind it, and the building itself is a masterpiece.

Denver Union Station The station is a masterpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture, located on the edge of downtown Denver’s business district. It coordinates light rail, commuter and intercity rail, bike and bus lanes, and pedestrian paths into an intuitive intermodal hub. The focal point of these new elements is an open-air train concourse, designed as an efficient and formal means of protecting multiple rail tracks. The primary structural system consists of 11 steel “arch trusses” spanning nearly 180 feet, covered in tensioned Teflon fabric. Viewed from the side, the canopy rises 70 feet at each end and drops 22 feet in the middle, a structural design that protects the passenger platforms below while maintaining clear view corridors and preserving views of the historic station.

Red Rocks Park is located in the mountains less than 20 kilometers west of downtown Denver, with an altitude of more than 6,000 feet and an area of more than 860 hectares. It is named after the huge red sandstone rocks that are 300 feet high. In Red Rocks Park, the most eye-catching thing is the Red Rocks Amphitheater, which is called "Amphitheatre". It is the only large-scale amphitheater in the world built using natural mountains and gullies. Perhaps because of the natural echo effect in the valley, it has been sought after by the American and even the world music community since the beginning, becoming the most famous amphitheater in the world.

Golden is located about 15 miles west of downtown Denver. It is said that 150 years ago, a gold prospector named John Gregory discovered gold here, which triggered the gold rush in the town and even the entire Colorado. Golden is also the headquarters of the Colorado School of Mines and Coors Brewery. Golden is where Coors beer was founded. Since Coors was founded in 1873, Coors' headquarters has been located in Golden.
