Our goal is to go out and wave as long as the weather is clear. When we wake up this day and see that there are no clouds outside the window, there is nothing to say, the Statue of Liberty is walking!
To go to the Statue of Liberty, you have to take a boat. The ticket can be booked on the official website. The following picture is the timetable of the boat. Take the subway line R to Whitehall station, and there will be many staff who will guide you to the pier for the boat. But getting on the boat is not so easy, there is a long queue for security check, but the speed is still acceptable, and it will not wait too long.
The boat has three floors, the second and third are open air, and the first is in the cabin. It is recommended to go to an outdoor place. It was a pleasure to see the scenery along the way.
Manhattan is gradually receding, and the central area ofManhattan on seems to be nothing but the Pearl River New City , but it represents the center of world finance and affects the changes of the global economy. It carries far more weight than its appearance.
Approaching the Statue of Liberty, all the people on the ship were excited, which was about the size of an ice cream in the dock and battery park, gradually enlarged in front of her eyes. At this moment, there is an inexplicable feeling, as if approaching the Statue of Liberty is a ritual, telling myself that I have really come to the United States , although I have been in the United States for nineteen days before, not to New York , not to Manhattan , not to come from the Statue of Liberty Like, it always feels unreal.
When the boat passed the front of the Statue of Liberty, a beam of sunlight suddenly broke through the clouds and sprinkled on the statue, also instantly changed from gray to bright, plus her aura of monopolizing the sea, the whole statue looked heroic and magnificent.
The Statue of Liberty is across the sea from Manhattan. The goddess is both a guardian and a leader of the city.
The boat has two stops. The first stop is Liberty Island, where the statue is located. The tickets we bought could not climb the statue base and could only be active on the island. So I started shooting the goddess from all angles and taking photos with her .
Here is a little history about the Statue of Liberty. She was not originally green, but the true color of copper. It is light green after oxidation. It was originally intended to be repaired, but the citizens of New York were unanimously opposed, thinking that the green should be retained, so it is what we usually see. In fact, this green is a little fresh and does not match the dignified and sacred shape of the goddess. I imagine that it may be more suitable if it is the primary color of copper, but the refurbished bright copper color is too impetuous. This natural patina that has been precipitated over time is very suitable. Definition of freedom.
Later, I bought a goddess crown. It was so fitting that I couldn’t help but pat again.
From the Statue of Liberty Island to the next stop, you can only go to Alice Island, not directly back to Manhattan . This island mainly has an immigration history museum, which has a lot of pictures to explain the immigration wave in the United States.
Inside and outside the exhibition hall.
Ellis Island is closer to Manhattan Island, there is no such buzzing voice as the Statue of Liberty Island, let us pat it freely.
Finally, take a boat back to Manhattan . When I went back, I was worried that I would not be able to catch the last boat. I rushed back with a trot and saw many people queuing at the pier. Everyone boarded the boat slowly and in an orderly manner. When it was about to be our turn, the staff blocked the entrance of the boat with a rope. We could only wait for fifteen minutes to be seated, and the crowd suddenly burst into a regretful voice. At this time, the sun is actually very strong. Under the big sun, waiting for the boat in the crowd is not pleasant, but the expressions on everyone’s faces are not frowning or irritable, but with a helpless but relieved smile. The staff responsible for managing the entrance to the boat is also humorous to comfort everyone. At that time, I felt that the whole person was very good, and my mood was like this golden sunshine, full of positive energy.
America , America Humans have many advantages and many disadvantages. But the confident optimism of most Americans , which I think is definitely something to appreciate, is not only warm, but infectious, and with the Statue of Liberty, it gave me a perfect afternoon.
