M80***23M80***23- Art Deco style: The Empire State Building adopts a typical Art Deco style, emphasizing symmetry, geometry and fine decoration, and the top minarets are uniquely designed to make them exceptionally strong and unique in the New York skyline. ​- Fine structural design: The backbone of the building is composed of 210 steel columns, of which 12 directly reach the top of the building, providing a solid support for the building. With the increase of height, the floor area gradually shrinks, forming five major changes, this design not only considers structural stability, but also increases the aesthetic of the building. Historical and Cultural Values - Witnessing Historical Changes: The Empire State Building was built during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and its completion not only provided a large number of jobs in the United States at the time, but also marked the beginning of the rise of American industry and the peak of modern urban development. ​- Bearing cultural symbols: As one of the cultural symbols of the United States, the Empire State Building has appeared in many films, literature and art works, such as the film "King Kong", further enhancing its global visibility and cultural influence.

2025 Global 50 – Fall Viewing Attractions
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 Morning light penetrates the forest, spreads powder and white brocade on the cherry blossom avenue, the wind is outdated petals fall, and the corners of the skyscraper soften into a background sound in the flower shadow.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***05Due to the schedule, we went there in the morning and started queuing at the arrival hall: In fact, it is difficult to start the scheduled time completely according to the time marked on the ticket after queuing, security check, and going up the building. It belongs to a batch of time. There are a lot of people in each batch. The observation deck is very unique among the several in New York. Children like the space full of balloons the most... Not only should you control not to take pictures too hard, but also control not to be hit by others' pictures

Museums
M80***23M80***23- Rich and authoritative collection: more than 33 million specimens and cultural relics, covering paleontology (such as Tyrannosaurus rex, tangle skeleton), mineral gemstones (such as "hope diamond"), human civilization (Egyptian mummies, African tribal artworks), and other fields, It is one of the largest natural history museums in the world, with high scientific research and popular science value. ​- Exhibition Chen design is exquisite: known for immersive scene restoration, such as the grassland ecological set of the "African Mammal Hall", the starry sky dome of the "Cosmic Exhibition Hall", combined with multimedia interactive devices (such as dinosaur fossil dynamic demonstration), so that the exhibits "live", taking into account professionalism and fun. ​ - Strong educational function: Opening workshops, lectures and planetarium screening activities for different ages, and even providing youth research internship projects, is a holy place for parents and nature lovers, attracting more than 5 million visitors per year. ​- Architecture and historical heritage: The classicist complex built in 1877 is itself a landmark, with red brick exterior walls with clock towers, internal promenades and dome murals highlighting a sense of solemnity, and has appeared in films such as "Museum Wonderful Night", which has both cultural and artistic charm. Disadvantages - The tour line is complicated: the number of exhibition halls is more than 45, some areas are not clear enough, the first visit is easy to get lost, it is recommended to download the official guide APP in advance to plan the route. ​- Intensive crowds in peak season: especially on weekends and summers, popular exhibition areas (such as dinosaur halls) often need to wait in line, take pictures or watch the exhibits up close, it is recommended to visit the staggered peak. ​ - Tickets and consumption are high: tickets use the "suggested donation" model (adults usually start from $23), if you add special exhibitions, planetarium screenings and other projects, per capita consumption can reach more than $50, the restaurant options in the museum are small and the price is too expensive. ​ - Some exhibits are updated slowly: some pavilions and interactive equipment in the paleobiology exhibition area are slightly outdated, and compared to the emerging science and technology museum, they are slightly behind in the digital experience.
