Around New York｜The coolest industrial town travels through old movies

A 2-hour drive from New York, this is a unique industrial town It's like the New York version of PA Highland Park, with free access to the steel mill This place is known as the Christmas town, a century-old town built in 1741 The most amazing thing is the steel plant ruins that was transformed into a resort. This was once the second largest steel production site in the United States and was abandoned in 2001. You can walk up the stairs and experience the prosperity of the steel plant in the past up close. Now all you can see are rusty facilities and dilapidated factories. The building across the street is a lively modern cultural and art center It's like walking on the street at the dividing line of time, where classicism collides with modernity The Lehigh River divides Bethlehem into two parts, north and south. In the north, you can visit the classical old town, and in the south, you can visit campuses and factories. ↘️Bethlehem travel guide↘️ 📍SteelStacks 💰Free tickets This gives the town a unique and cool industrial style. Even though the steel mill has been abandoned, it is still full of retro feeling. Many skyscrapers and the steel beams of the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States come from here. Due to the sharp drop in demand for steel products and the intensification of overseas competition It was finally closed in 2003 and can be walked on the metal plank road 📍Lehigh University Next to the steel plant is the private Lehigh University, which is famous for its engineering. Built in 1865, it is located on the hillside of Nanshan Mountain and can be visited by car. Feel the domineering campus that takes up an entire mountain, with a retro style The feeling of driving around is that students have to climb mountains to go to and from school. The student dormitories are well-arranged, and you can come here to enjoy the autumn scenery The view at the top of the mountain is very good and there is a parking space for tourists which is convenient 📍Historic Industrial Quarter You can visit the art shops on Main Street. There is also a The oldest bookstore in the United States, Moravian Book Shop The historical park by the river preserves many old buildings of the time. However, I feel that the reviews of restaurants on the main street are average, so I went to the surrounding areas to find food 📍The Outlets at Wind Creek After visiting the town, you can also go to the Outlet Shopping Plaza for some shopping fun. Located in the south, within the resort area along with Casino and SteelStacks
