The sky is clear and the sun is shining. The New York Harbor is rippling with blue waves, the sun at noon falls on the sea, the golden waves are little and sparkling, the Statue of Liberty cruise ship is moored on the berth of the harbor, the stars and stripes are fluttering in the wind, quietly welcoming tourists from all over the world, sending them to visit New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty at the mouth of the Hudson River on Liberty Island within the harbor.

New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty


A few friends and I also followed people of all skin colors and slowly squeezed onto the cruise ship. At first glance, there were quite a few compatriots with yellow skin (there may also be some Japanese and Koreans). We mainly want to watch the famous Statue of Liberty. Some people say that watching the Statue of Liberty on a cruise ship has a special feeling. As for what it feels like, different people have different experiences and artistic conceptions.

New York Harbor with Cruise Ships


The cruise ship sailed slowly along the New York Harbor, along the harbor to both sides of the Hudson Estuary, with high-rise buildings and many skyscrapers. After about 10 minutes of sailing, the cruise ship is about 1 km away from the mouth of the Hudson River, and you can vaguely see the Statue of Liberty. People began to riot, and they took out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures of the Statue of Liberty. The boat was shaking, and it was difficult to take pictures, but people still tried to keep their heels still, crackling and taking pictures.

The closer you are to the goddess, the more enthusiastic people are to shoot. The cruise ship slowed down when it was closest to the statue of the goddess, and turned the bow so that the people of the other boat could see the goddess clearly. Naturally, like everyone else, we took pictures of many goddesses from long distances and close distances on the swaying boat. I recall what my predecessors said, watching the Statue of Liberty by boat will have a special feeling, and everyone is different. What am I feeling? It’s funny to say, there is really a feeling of floating on the ethereal sea, from the distant Tang Furong Garden to the western paradise in a dream, and seeing the merciful and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea. It may also be because I read a lot of novels such as “Journey to the West” and “Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea” when I was a child. I think foreigners will definitely not have this feeling, what about my compatriots? Will there be such a feeling?

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
