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.

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.

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 ♥️

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.

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. 🏙️✨🗽

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.

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.

Located on the 100th floor of the 30 Hudson Yards building, it offers a unique perspective of the Manhattan skyline. Higher than other observation decks, the platform extends outwards, and the glass railings are tilted outwards at a 6.6° angle, making people feel as if they are suspended above the city when they are close to the glass.

Hudson Yards is a modern commercial and residential district in New York that combines innovative architecture with an artistic atmosphere. The most attractive feature is "The Vessel" which is shaped like a "beehive", and has become a popular check-in spot. There are also high-end shopping malls, multiple restaurants and observation decks that offer stunning views of Manhattan. The overall area planning is modern and open, an ideal place for roaming, shopping and enjoying delicious food. It is well worth a visit for tourists who like the modern urban atmosphere.
