Times Square, New York.

Times Square is the busiest district in Manhattan, New York City, USA, and is known as the "Crossroads of the World". Originally named Longacre Square, it was later renamed Times Square after the headquarters building of The New York Times was established here. Times Square is located in the north of Midtown Manhattan, New York, and has a history of 101 years. Its center is located at the intersection of Broadway, Seventh Avenue and West 46th Street, a triangle of wealth and art. Due to its high popularity, many famous cities in the world have shopping malls or buildings named "Times Square", and the name Times Square has become deeply rooted in people's hearts. Nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters are gathered near Times Square, which is a prosperous entertainment and shopping center. Including ABC, many news media in the world have studios and news centers in Times Square. Therefore, many foreign media like to switch the camera to the Times Square studio when talking about news about the United States, with a prosperous scene as the background. The wealth created by Times Square in New York still reaches 200 billion US dollars every year. Although it only occupies 0.1% of the area of New York City, Times Square gathers 11% of New York City's economic activities, and 10% of New Yorkers work here. In Times Square, New York, there is a special building, One Times Square, which is empty all year round, but can bring in 23 million US dollars in income every year. Its secret lies in the advertising revenue brought by its outdoor billboards every year. In order to set up this outdoor billboard, the building owner specially built a 25-story empty building. Times Square receives 100 million tourists every year, and the huge flow of people brings huge wealth and opportunities, but it also puts tremendous pressure on urban security and sanitation. Some people once compared it to a "horse dung egg", which can only be viewed from a distance and not close, because in the streets and alleys behind the strange prosperity, it is a hell of stench, garbage everywhere, and sewage flowing.
