Empire State Building

A truly iconic building that’s absolutely worth a visit, especially the 86th‑floor open‑air observatory. The views were jaw‑dropping and easily some of my favourite I’ve ever seen. Just love it ♥️

Statue of Liberty

🗽 Statue of Liberty, New York —The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous landmarks in New York City, USA. Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, the iconic statue symbolizes freedom, hope, and opportunity.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Perhaps because the summer holidays are over, there were no lines. It was very convenient to scan the code to enter. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is very large, so you can stroll around at your own pace. If you get tired, there are places to grab a drink or a snack. The US is a large country, not crowded. Even in very lively areas, there are plenty of places to rest, which is very thoughtful.

The Museum of Modern Art

We are not “museum people” but we enjoyed our time at Moma! A lot to see and some interesting pieces. Loved the 4th floor!

Broadway Shows New York

Definitely buy tickets in advance, the theater is packed! The song and dance performance was fantastic! I still couldn't fully understand all the English dialogue, but with some preparation, I think I could understand at least half of it.

Central Park

After finishing a long and stressful project, I booked this hotel specifically to treat myself to two days off. Staying here not only allowed my exhausted body to fully rest, but also revitalized my spirit, which had been drained by the project. The hotel's spa experience completely exceeded my expectations, the room's audio-visual equipment was professional enough, and they even thoughtfully provided DVDs of my favorite genre. After a bath, I curled up on the sofa and watched an old movie, forgetting all about work; I felt completely healed, inside and out. The hotel doesn't rely on overpriced hype to create a high-end feel; every experience is solid and thoughtful, making it a top choice for a relaxing stay. Its exceptional quality and extraordinary elegance, designed specifically for healing, are hidden in every detail.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

Of all the view points of NYC, the most unique I have to say. My daughter really liked the interactive activities available at the observation deck. You can get good view of the Mid Town and unbelievable view of the Empire State Building from the top. Ticket might be a bit pricey, but hey, it’s New York. So you have to understand. Overall I would say definitely a worth it to experience.

Rockefeller Center

Rockefeller Center is one of those iconic New York places that’s worth seeing in person. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and walking around the surrounding area. The architecture is impressive, and there’s plenty to see nearby. If you have time, going up to Top of the Rock is a great addition for beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park. 🏙️✨🗽

Top of The Rock

One of New York's five best observation decks, a must-visit. Rockefeller Center is quite good; you can see the Empire State Building, but you can't actually see yourself from the Empire State Building. The weather was great that day, truly wonderful.

American Museum of Natural History

1. It discusses astronomy, the origins of Earth, planets, and black holes, making it suitable for families with children. 2. It explores Chinese customs and features many related exhibits. As a Chinese person, it truly opened a new world for me, as I had never seen these things in China before. It's not just a display of artifacts, but a showcase of Chinese culture, such as traditional Chinese medicine, marriage customs, the worship of the God of Wealth, ancestor worship, the Forbidden City, and more. 3. It showcases Asian culture, covering various countries, with the Chinese section being the most extensive. Seeing this exhibition revealed that Vietnam was under Chinese rule for a period of time. 4. The African animal exhibit uses real animal skins, but they are stuffed with contents, which is quite meaningful. 5. It displays dinosaurs and their evolutionary process, including Archaeopteryx. The dinosaurs are genuine, and there are even dinosaur eggs. Overall, the focus is on education and understanding.
