On the 11th day of the United States tour (September 8), after breakfast, I took a station wagon from Philadelphia to New York . The journey was 200 kilometers. The highway was very wide and there were many exits. The exits were connected to the city roads, and there was no toll station. Our station wagon went straight to Manhattan , New York .
New York Located at the mouth of the Hudson River, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it consists of five districts. Manhattan is the smallest district in New York, but it is one of the most prosperous areas in the world today and the city with the most skyscrapers in the world. There are many high-rise buildings here, such as the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Locke Filler Center, etc., where the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed by terrorists in 2001, a higher new World Trade Center building has been built.
The tour guide took us to the pier on the Hudson River to take a cruise, and the cruise sailed around the peninsula in Manhattan Bay to the Hudson After the “Liberty Island” near the estuary, take a tour around the island, and then stop for tourists to carefully appreciate the Statue of Liberty and take pictures.
We see: The Statue of Liberty has closed lips, wearing a radiant crown, seven sharp awns symbolizing the seven continents of the world, wearing ancient Roman robes, and her posture is like an ancient Greek beauty, which makes people feel intimate and natural. The torch is held high in the right hand, and the book with the date of the Declaration of Independence engraved on it is held tightly in the left. The broken chain remains on the foot, it is known as the United States symbol of.
According to the tour guide on the cruise, the Statue of Liberty is 46 meters high and weighs more than 200 tons. It was cast in metal and was included in the World Heritage List in 1984.
The tour takes about an hour to return to the cruise terminal.
