This weekend my friends drove me to New York for travelling. This was a leisure trip, we all had nothing special plans and goals, so we drove slowly and often stopped in highway’s roadside to appreciate beautiful scene or enjoy ice creams in MacDonald. The scenery was exquisite along all the way, especially in the boundaries of the Connor state, our car as if went through a forest without terminus and continuously passed by the bright lakes and winding rivers.
The first stop was Time Square when we entered New York. This is a center of the metropolis. We witnessed its lively and noisy. The dazzling lights of the Great White Way's theaters have fascinated fans nationwide and Broadway shows have attracted millions who deeply love the play and dream of becoming a star. Then, we went to Rockefeller Plaza and soared 70 floors high and experience the exhilarating joy of unobstructed 360º city views from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. At the time, there eas the lights sea in our eyes. From the green of Central Park to the thrilling city skyline, I believed nowhere else could you see New York so spectacularly.
The following two days, we visited Statue of Liberty and Elis Island, walked along Wall Street and visited two museums. However, the Liberty Statues, who is named Mother of Exiles, didn’t make us feel freedom or excitement, perhaps we had too high expectation before. We had to queue for hours to get in a tent where people were requested to go through the strict safety inspection. When we got on Liberty Island by ferry there must have been several ten thousand people present. Before we climbed to the pedestal of the statue, we had had to stand in line for half an hour to experience safety inspection again. We were too tried to enjoy our freedom. But the museums made us pleasant. Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural History impressed us deeply. From the splendors of ancient Egypt to the spectacular New American art, with over two million works of art spanning 5,000 years of culture, the museums present the best of human creativity from across the globe. We lingered and forgot to return.
New York is a prosperous place just like my hometown Shanghai. In my eyes, its streets is dirtier than Shanghai, but it has more cultural element and better art atmosphere than Shanghai.
