An absolutely fabulous day this was in #newyorkcity and a great time to visit the #untiednations to see all the flags. A lesser known fact, once you're inside UN grounds you're technically no longer in the Untied States. This was established under the terms of the UN Headquarters Treaty back in the 1950s. #travelinspiration #triplocal

On the eastern side of Manhattan, although located in New York City, its land is actually an international territory. The United Nations consists of the General Assembly Building, the Secretariat Building and the Hamma House Library. There is a tourist visit hall in the United Nations building. The entrance inspection requires security check, and the procedure is similar to airport security check. In addition to the Chinese audio guide, there is also a Chinese manual tour guide service (Monday to Friday), which is about one hour long. Take you to the parliament hall, if there is a meeting there, you can't go in. And to explain the functions of the United Nations, in fact, the main theme is love and peace. It is especially recommended to send postcards at the United Nations, where you can customize the stamps of your own photos, and the United Nations stamps can only be sent from there, if you get the mail box outside you can not send it. In addition, you can also cover the United Nations chapter in your passport, which makes a lot of sense! Address: 777 United Nations Plaza #5 New York

Additional Information

Introduction

The Headquarters of the United Nations is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood in Manhattan. According to a treaty between the United States and the United Nations, the buildings and lands occupied by the organization have extraterritorial status, meaning they do not fall under the jurisdiction of the US government. The main headquarters complex comprises several buildings including the General Assembly Building, the Conference Building, the Secretariat Building, and the Dag Hammarskjold Library. Visitors can tour most of these places when the various UN organs are not in session. One popular sightseeing attraction is viewing the flags of all the member states, which are arranged in English alphabetical order and line the UN grounds along First Avenue.

Ctrip booking is very convenient, go to the small room opposite the headquarters to exchange tickets, go in and follow the tour guide to various places to take pictures, many places that can only be seen on TV, very good value

I originally wanted to visit by appointment, but not that week. It takes about ten minutes to get to Central Station on the green line of the subway. It is strange that the flags of various countries are not raised in the courtyard of the United Nations Building. Standing on the flyover across the road, you can take pictures of the United Nations Building and the Empire State Building.

As a citizen of a permanent member of the UN Security Council, when you arrive in New York, you must go to the UN headquarters to check in. The simple and square building towers high along the East River in Manhattan. Because it is a rest day, there are no flagpoles of the national flag and quietly surround the building complex, telling people that it is always busy~

We were just passing by the U.N. headquarters, a rectangular building with glass walls, which is not much to be noted for, but not a city centre, and less crowded
