Things to do in New York

The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of American independence, was completed in 1886 on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Designed by sculptor Bartholdi and with the internal structure designed by Gustave Eiffel, the bronze statue stands approximately 46 meters tall, reaching a total height of 93 meters with its pedestal. Symbolizing freedom and democracy, the statue depicts the goddess wearing a radiant crown, holding a torch aloft in her right hand and the Declaration of Independence in her left, with broken chains at her feet, signifying liberation from tyranny. Not only is it one of America's most iconic landmarks, but it was also the first building seen by countless immigrants arriving in the United States by ship, known as "Liberty Enlightening the World." Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts millions of tourists annually, becoming a spiritual symbol of freedom, hope, and opportunity.

Visiting the Empire State Building was one of the highlights of New York. The observation deck offers incredible views across Manhattan, and seeing the city from above really gives you a different perspective. I’d recommend going around sunset if possible, so you can enjoy the skyline in daylight and watch the city lights come on. An iconic NYC experience! 🗽🌆✨

This time, Director Zhou gave us a guided tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He explained everything in great detail and was very patient. He answered all our questions, which was fantastic! It was a very worthwhile museum experience.

The fifth-floor exhibition area is its highlight, featuring stunning works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso, well worth a visit. Van Gogh's famous Starry Night, in particular, is truly breathtaking.

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.

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.

Although shorter than the Empire State Building, the rooftop offers stunning views of Central Park to the north, Manhattan and the Hudson River to the south, and the Statue of Liberty in the distance, all without any obstructions from netting. It feels like a better value, especially for photography enthusiasts. Many people waited for the sunset on the rooftop, and we witnessed New York at dusk, which was quite satisfying.

A little bit crowded around the afternoon time and nice view

With many similar options to choose from in New York, this would be our top choice as the experience is truly unique, book a window table at the restaurant up there!

Hudson Yards is definitely a popular attraction in New York, but its iconic building is about to be demolished, reportedly for safety reasons. Even without the iconic building, it is still very beautiful.
