Located in Newport, Rhode Island, the United States, The Breakers is a grand historic mansion that was once the summer home of the Vanderbilt family. Built in the late 19th century, the estate is known for its Italian Renaissance-style architecture and ornate interiors. Visitors can take a guided tour to admire its exquisite murals, carvings, and furniture, and learn about life in the American "Gilded Age." The estate sits on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, offering stunning sea views. Visitors can stroll through the estate's gardens and experience the tranquil natural environment. The Breakers is open year-round, and it is recommended to purchase tickets online in advance so that you can choose a suitable time to visit. An audio guide is available in the estate to help visitors gain an in-depth understanding of the building's historical and cultural background. The Breakers is not only a great place for architecture enthusiasts, but also a great place to learn about American history and culture. With convenient transportation, visitors can choose to drive or use public transportation.Newport · 2.6 km from downtown

Tingtao Villa is located on the seaside. You can hear the sound of the waves directly, hence the name Tingtao Villa. The building is very beautiful, and the decoration inside is magnificent and shocking. There is also a mini villa in the garden, which is a building suitable for children to play. It looks quite interesting. It was raining that day, and when we visited the indoors and came to the outdoors, there was heavy fog. We could hardly see the sea view, and could only hear the sound of the waves. It was really like listening to the waves. The whole scenic spot took about one and a half hours to two hours to visit. Tingtao Villa is more than an hour's drive from Boston one way. If you are in a tight schedule, it is not recommended to go there.

Located at the southern end of Tingtao Mountain Villa and the seaside cliff walkway, Marble Stone Villa was a spectacular 39th birthday gift from a railroad tycoon to his wife. There's a free, convenient dedicated parking lot just a few dozen meters across the road.

When visiting the luxury mansion area of ​​Rhode Island, don't forget to walk along the sea view trail behind the mansion, and immediately unlock the same scenery as the owner of the mansion. While feeling the sea breeze blowing gently, you can see the unobstructed sea view, and on the side are all kinds of Newport mansions. One of the attractions on the seaside park trail is the Cliff Walk 40 Steps, which was once one of the most popular leisure places for servants working in the Newport luxury mansion area. The steps were originally built in the early 19th century and then restored in the 1990s to make them safer. Each step is engraved with the name of the donor, and the cost of repairing each step is $3,000. I also saw people fishing on the cliff. It feels that the waves and wind here are also relatively strong.
