I myself went to New York and Washington in 2013, and I revisited it with my family and friends in August 2017. While searching for New York in my memory, I checked and filled in the gaps.
The Statue of Liberty is a must-see for tourists coming to the United States. Its full name is "The Statue of Liberty National Monument" and its official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World". It is located on Liberty Island, New York.
When I came to New York four years ago, I went to Liberty Island and climbed to the Goddess Pedestal, overlooking the prosperity of New York.
Unfortunately, there is a limit of 300 people per day on the island. We did not make a reservation in advance, so we just went around with Statue cruises and looked at the Statue of Liberty.
There are many people traveling from Europe on the cruise ship. Beautiful women love to take selfies. This is the same all over the world.
Tips: Take Metro Line 1 or R to South Ferry and transfer to the ferry.
If you want to go to Liberty Island, you need to take it to Battery Park.
The boat trip takes about 2 hours.
After watching the Statue of Liberty, we walked ashore and next to us was Wall Street.
In the true sense, Wall Street is just a very small street with a lackluster street scene, but the invisible wisdom in those office buildings can influence the global economy to a certain extent.
WallStreet 2013Wall Street 2017 Trinity Church on Wall Street, located at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Wall Street, is an ancient parish church and the tallest building in Lower Manhattan in the 19th century.
The towering neo-Gothic spire is decorated with a gilded cross and served as a welcoming beacon for ships entering New York Harbor.
It is considered a classic example of Gothic Revival architecture and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
On September 11, 2001, the collapse of the World Trade Center knocked down a fig tree that had grown in the church grounds for a century.
The church hall is magnificent, and believers are praying.
I don’t believe in Christianity, but I was in awe after entering.
The reliefs on the church door are very exquisite and special. Books related to prayer are placed in front of each seat in the church. Hamilton's cemetery is on the north side of Trinity Church, and opposite the church is his former office.
When Hamilton was shot dead due to a duel with Vice President Burr, before his death, he requested Trinity Church to hold Holy Communion for him and to bury him in the church cemetery. However, the church rejected his request because his dueling behavior was contrary to the teachings of Christ.
Hamilton said that although he agreed to the duel, he deliberately missed due to his faith in Christ.
He repented of his sins and desired reconciliation with all.
Finally the church agreed to hold a ceremony for him.
I wonder if Hamilton, who has been watching Wall Street for more than 200 years and the founder of the American fiscal and financial system, is at the origin of the financial crisis and is helpless even if he travels through time.
