Section 925 There is a song called fleeting years

New York is a melting pot, and you can finally see the so-called crowds that the so-called metropolis should have on the sidewalks, different skin colors, different races, different accents, street artists in strange clothes, brightly dressed business people, gay, shemale, sucker and Harley party.

New York interprets what "existence means reason". After two hours of idleness in Times Square, I basically saw all the individual villagers in the global village.

The hotel is in a good location and is not as small as you imagined. I had a subway for lunch, and after a break, I started to visit Times Square, and then there was Rockefeller Center. The St. Battery Cathedral on the east side of Rockefeller Center was spectacular. The exterior is under repair and there are many scaffolding inside.

On weekends, there are many people coming to the church to worship, singing hymns in unison, which is sacred and solemn, making people reach gentle and powerful from the bottom of their hearts.

Next, I walked south along Fifth Avenue and walked to the Empire State Building. On the way, I encountered various street styles, punk street roller skating parties, Mexican old men selling pets, and fashionable female devils dressed in bright clothes. I passed by the New York City Public Library, and "The Day Afternoon" was also filmed here. The Empire State Building is a classic landmark in New York.

The density of tourists here can catch up with the Forbidden City in Beijing. After receiving security checks, waiting for the elevator, a series of long queues and waiting, they arrived at the 80th floor. The crowd who were really unwilling to wait for the elevator walked the 6th floor fire staircase to the 86th floor viewing platform, a classic scene of the movie "Sleeping in Seattle" and "The Capital Meets Seattle".

The height here is 360 degrees overlooking Manhattan, a city with densely packed buildings, and the Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty is located, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Central Park, all of which are all in sight.

There are really many tourists. It takes a lot of trouble to squeeze to the next to the railing. Moreover, because of the wire railing, the effect of taking photos of "Skip Here" is very poor. Instead, the camera is stretched out to the railing and down to take pictures of the city scenery. The Mushroom Mi's family went back after a walk, while Yun Luo continued to stay for two and a half hours.

In order to see the sunset and night scenes of New York from the best perspective of this commanding heights, the photos taken are worthy of the long wait. At that time, the sunset occupied a favorable terrain. The angle was very good, and Yunluo was concentrating on taking pictures of the New York city scenery from the setting sun to the beginning of the lights.

When she was approached by a girl from the treasure island, she squeezed beside Yunluo. Because she had always had a special affection for the treasure island, she took photos and chatted with her. Later, she met again at the bottom of the Empire State Building. She waited for her partner until 10 o'clock in the evening before leaving her contact information to say goodbye.

People from Baodao mainly use line, so they can only contact email. They always have various fates with friends from Baodao. There is a friend from the circle of friends in the poetic cafe in Beijing that is a Baodao native. Last year, they also met a couple of little couples in the Sinai Peninsula. They were going to Beijing to play in October.

On the day we arrived, Yunluo asked his friends from the cafe to entertain Yunluo. After Yunluo returned to the capital, he would reunite with them. He was extremely looking forward to it~~~This time, this girl also invited Yunluo to go to Baodao again and ate all night markets. It is said that there will be Taiwanese girls with you to drink, so tsk. The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look forward to it!

There are two Sichuan girls on the roof of the Empire State Building to chat with you, but they all ask questions about Yunluo's photography technology. One of them is to ask questions in English. Yunluo is not very good at expressing the concepts of aperture shutter iso in English. He gritted his teeth and asked "whereare from", "china", "Oh, that's the case, the camera must be fixed, and adjusted to m-level."

It is much more convenient to communicate with Chinese. I walked back to my residence at night. I bought a burger when I was hungry along the way. It was really unpalatable. I basically didn’t eat much Western food in the days after that. Even if I eat it, it would be McDonald’s chicken roll to cushion the belly. It was still reliable for Chinese food. Even instant noodles were delicious.

Today's main itinerary is another landmark in New York, which is the most representative of the United States. The Statue of Liberty is still a subway. Next, walk ten minutes to the subway station, Line 1 arrives at the southferryloop, the southernmost tip of Manhattan Island, and go west. Next to the park is the ferry of Liberty Island.

Tickets are also bought here, including tours on Liberty Island and Ellis Island. There are also many people, and it takes about 30 minutes to upload each time. The first trip to Liberty Island from the ferry crossing is very hot, and a line-up is very hot when a artist is playing the harmonica next to him, which are all familiar melodies.

When Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu reached the closest position to him, he actually started to blow "jasmine flowers", which was very friendly! I heard from a hiker who saw a Japanese artist selling songs in various languages ​​and sang songs from various countries when he approached. When he approached, the other party sang a song "Only mothers in the world are good" in Chinese, and he was hit in an instant.

The itinerary of the Statue of Liberty is also audiotoured. After going to the island, you walk around the bronze statue and look up at the Statue of Liberty from different angles. You envy those who have made reservations for the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal and the torch stand to visit the Statue of Liberty. You can walk into the Statue of Liberty (you need to make an appointment online in advance). Only by listening to the guided explanation can you know some unexpected facts.

Many people think that the Statue of Liberty is solid, but it is not, not only hollow, but also the thickness of the bronze statue is only the thickness of an American 5-cent coin. The architectural principle can refer to the Sora Bridge of the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, it is just like the meaning of the Golden Gate Bridge to immigrants on the other side of the Pacific.

The Statue of Liberty is the first impression that European immigrants bid farewell to the old world, came to the new world, and entered the land of North America. It seemed that when they saw the Statue of Liberty, they ushered in a new life. Then, when they visited Ellis Island, they focused on introducing the history of American immigration. Remember to rent an audio guide and listen to those stories carefully.

It was already past 4 pm after the Statue of Liberty. Yunluo continued to act alone, preparing to embark on a long-planned trip to trace the classic movie scene. Before leaving the Pier Park, he saw some tourists feeding squirrels, so he also found a wooden bench to sit down. He just wanted to take photos.

Two American girls and a Russian guy both enthusiastically handed Yun Luo a handful of peanuts to let Yun Luo experience the fun of feeding squirrels. The pigeon next to him seemed more depressed because everyone tried to seduce squirrels with peanuts and turned a blind eye to them. They only stayed for a little while, and the cautious guy with big tail slowly began to trust Yun Luo.

Finally, he climbed directly on Yun Luo's legs and pecked at peanuts. There was also a squirrel who was directly accusing Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu's family carvings!

Walking north, the first stop is Trinity Church. Please refer to the National Treasure. I don’t know if there are really rare treasures hidden under the church that have been 5,000 years old. The second stop is the ruins of the World Trade Center. The bases of the two buildings have now become black marble pools, and the water flowing out of the four walls gathers at the bottom of the pool.

Then it flowed into a smaller bottomless square well in the middle. On the marble wall at the edge of the pool, the names of all the victims of 911 were engraved, and some were still filled with flowers that had not yet withered.

Yunluo noticed that a middle-aged woman had been standing by the pool, gently rubbing the names of her deceased relatives with her hands, with solemn sadness~~~ There was also a memorial wall set up for the police and firefighters who died at that time on the street in the southeast corner. Every vivid face was presented in the photo. More than ten years have passed, and I believe that even a hundred years have passed.

People still remember these faces and remember them as heroes. Every life will not be easily forgotten. This is also the most basic dignity of life.

Next is the most famous "Friends" apartment. Looking at this photo, go and look at the most popular American drama "Friends", which is exactly the same! Even the cafe on the corner of the street has not changed! From here to the west is Washington Square, where the two agreed to break up in "When Harry Meets Sally".

Looking at the Empire State Building from the Arc de Triomphe here is also a classic perspective. Walking north on Fifth Avenue, the Washington Post Building is at the intersection with Broadway Avenue, where Batman also works.

When passing Times Square, I was amazed by the night scene here. There are movies and animation characters everywhere, such as Batman, Spider-Man, Super Mary, Cuidi Bird, Mickey Mouse, and the lonely Captain Jack. It looks like there is nothing!

Finally, I visited the hotel and it was already past 9 o'clock. At night, because my godmother and grandmother were all asleep, Yunluo sat in the corridor and repaired photos online. When he left to smoke at the fire stairs, the hotel security guard knocked on the door and told Yunluo that it was not safe to put Yunluo's laptop and mac on the ground in the corridor. He asked Yunluo what he was doing when he went to the fire stairs. Yunluo had to lie and said that Yunluo wanted to go to the roof to see the night view.

If smoking is considered serious, it is estimated that the consequences will be serious. I will no longer dare to smoke indoors. American laws stipulate that you cannot smoke indoors.

In fact, he has no special expectations for New York. Neither the Empire State Building nor the Statue of Liberty can tease his own **, but the Metropolitan Museum has completely high. Before reading the guide, Yunluo didn't even know about the Metropolitan, one of the three major museums in the world (the other two are the British Museum and the Louvre Museum).

But after visiting, I found that New York is really worth staying for a month, including the Empire State Building Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, a day of tribute to the movie scene trip, and spend the rest of 27 days at the Metropolitan Museum every day!
