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 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.

The cruise experience was great. It departs from the New Jersey pier and is very quiet, but be aware that the last cruise departs at 4 PM each day. You can get a close-up view of the Statue of Liberty, making it a wonderful experience.

It's definitely worth a visit, and you absolutely must rent an audio guide. Coming here evoked the same feelings and emotions as visiting the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall—a heavy, sorrowful feeling. So many historical memories are preserved here; it's heartbreaking. You absolutely have to experience it for yourself.

If we talk about downtown New York, in addition to the famous Wall Street and the bronze bull, Ground Zero is also a must-visit tourist attraction in New York. However, unlike other bustling places in New York, Ground Zero has a bit more historical significance. There is a huge square sunken pool with plaques around it engraved with the names of the victims. You can also see a lot of flowers placed next to the names as a memorial. There is also a bronze relief next to the World Trade Center site. If you have enough time, you might as well follow the navigation all the way. This is a 20-meter-long bronze relief built to commemorate the firefighters who bravely put out the fire in the 9/11 incident. Next to it are photos of the 343 firefighters who unfortunately died in the disaster, with the words "May we never forget", which makes people sigh at the preciousness and beauty of peacetime. Standing at Ground Zero, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, the contrast is very strong.
