Idaho State Capitol & Downtown Boise Snapshots 🏛️

The Idaho State Capitol, located in the heart of downtown Boise, is a landmark building worth visiting. This 4-story European-style structure is grand and impressive, built entirely with white marble. Visitors are welcome inside — you can even sit in on certain legislative sessions when they’re open to the public. 👀🏛️ Downtown Boise also offers charming pedestrian streets and the famous Freak Alley graffiti art 🎨. Aside from a few central “high-rises,” most buildings in Boise are three stories or shorter. The city feels open and spacious — with wide views of the sky, bright blue days, stunning sunsets 🌅, expansive green parks, a river flowing through the city, and mountains in the distance. Coming from the bustling, high-rise packed streets of Guangzhou, I found Boise incredibly refreshing and peaceful. 😌 One downside? The sun is intense! Sunrise as early as 6 AM and sunset around 9 PM — plenty of daylight, but don’t forget your sunscreen! ☀️😅 As the capital of Idaho, also known as the “City of Trees” 🌳, Boise is one of the U.S. cities with the highest percentage of white population. It’s spacious, peaceful, safe, and laid-back — in fact, it was named one of the Top 10 Most Livable Cities in the U.S. last year! Everywhere I went felt clean and well-kept — I didn’t see a single homeless person. Boise has seen a wave of new residents in recent years 🧳✈️, and its population has now surpassed 700,000. It’s becoming a hub for startups and tech companies. Micron Technology — the largest memory chip maker in the U.S. — is headquartered here. So are HP and Albertsons! 💻🏢 #Landmark #Boise #Idaho #CityOfTrees #USATravel #MostLivableCity 🌟
