2025 Global 50 – Fall Viewing Attractions
󱔒Night view
蓝星旅行者蓝星旅行者Walking through New York's Central Park, it seems to fall into the gentle cracks of the steel forest. Morning light penetrates the forest, spreads powder and white brocade on the cherry blossom avenue, the wind is outdated petals fall, and the corners of the skyscraper soften into a background sound in the flower shadow. The city code on the bench is the most moving. The cold chair was stroked by the fingertips, and the short text on the nameplate hid the New Yorker's temperature: "Give my wife Carol, because she loves Central Park, and I love her" - the separation of life, the young encounter, the mother and son bonding, all condensed into a dew in the wood grain. When high school students spread out books and laughed on the sheep lawn, and when the reciting of Shakespeare’s poems drifted from Cherry Hill to the lake, the park became an emotional resonant box, full of human narratives that transcended language. In the afternoon, I closed my eyes in the Ramble Forest area. Bird song and stream sound woven into natural white noise, suddenly understand the deep meaning of Olmsted: this 3.4 million square meters of green lung, originally dedicated to "the handicrafts of tired industrial workers", so that people who can not travel far can drink nature here. The boat house pier at dusk is the most magical, The wooden paddles smashed the red-stained lake, and the wild ducks swam through the reflection of Manhattan. The hustle and bustle of the city sank to the bottom, leaving only the breathing in the shadow of the oasis of the oars. "When the whispers of the bench fell into the palms with the cherry blossom rain, I knew that the oasis in this concrete wasteland, It was New York's prose poem to the world. "

rob***05rob***05The itinerary time relationship went in the morning, and the arrival hall began to queue: in fact, the appointment time was difficult to start completely according to the time marked on the ticket after the queue-security-upgrade, which batch is a lot of people. The observation deck is still very distinctive in several New York City. Children like the space for balloons the most... Not only do you need to control not to shoot hard, but also control not to be shot by others.

蓝星旅行者蓝星旅行者The gemstone exhibition hall · The colorful mineral universe stepped into the Minione Gemstones and Mineral Hall on the second floor and was instantly flooded by more than 3,000 exhibits. The most important purpose is the giant amethyst cave in Uruguay nearly 3 meters high deep purple crystal clusters like glaciers pouring, refracting dreamy iridescents under the light. Turning to meet the "Hope Star" blue diamond (45.5 carat), the blue light flows in bulletproof glass, and the legendary "curse stone" is intertwined with luxury. Napoleon's diamond necklace, Logan sapphire brooch display flank, emerald and rubies like a river of stars, as if breaking into the treasure cave of "The Night of the Heaven". The silent roar of the dinosaur hall and the prehistoric behemoth went straight to the fourth floor Fossil Hall, the 122-foot-long Titan dragon skeleton suspended from the sky, the cervical vertebrae like a giant suspension bridge through the hall, and the Jurassic oppression came to its face. Tyrannosaurus rex "Stan" is fixed in an attacking posture: the sharp teeth are only an inch from the neck bone of the confused dragon, and the life and death fight 66 million years ago is solidified here. The most surprising thing is that Liang Long "Dippy" 80% is a real fossil, the 27-meter long tail vertebrae scratched spacetime and space, standing under the skeleton and looking up, humans are as small as dust. "When the tailbone of the titanosaur casts a shadow in the twilight, it is known that humans are but the short audience of a magnificent show on this planet." - quote from the exhibition hall

学校🏫学校🏫Reflection of the Twin Towers: The Silent Narrative of the 911 Memorial Two black marble pools sink quietly at the original site of the Twin Towers, and the water falls eternally along the bronze nameplate of 2,983 names. The memorial, designed by Israeli architects, speaks of pain in negative spaces when visitors’ fingers crossed the engraved name, touching the cold running water, like touching the temperature that is eternity away. The survivors’ stairs in the underground museum are the most shocking. The last escape route to the World Trade Center, with the twisted steel bars still scarred from September 11, 2001, displaying the victims' glasses, shoes and unplugged mobile phones, while the red paint of the fire truck's wreckage still dazzles in the dark. The acoustic exhibition hall played the voice message of the year, and those "I love you" farewells circled in the dark space, becoming the most tearful requiem. It is recommended to choose a rainy day to visit. When raindrops fall into the memorial pool and integrate with the artificial waterfall, You will understand the most brutal poetic design like the tears and dust of that day, which eventually flowed into the invisible abyss. New branches have emerged from the surviving tree at the exit, white oak found in the ruins, and the annual rings record the full answer to rebirth.
