Chapter 16: New York A8 is coming

Li Chuanfeng and the others said goodbye to Johnson and them early in the morning of the second day, and they wanted to have a good discussion with the emperor, but time was not allowed. They left their way of contact, and they stepped on the train to the last stop of their American street journey - New York.

New York is the largest metropolis and the largest commercial port in the United States, and it is not only the financial center of the United States, but also one of the financial centers in the world. New York is located at the mouth of the Hudson River in southeastern New York State, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Richmond, with an area of 828.8 square kilometers. As of July 2009, New York has a population of 8.39 million, making it the most populous city in the United States. New York is also home to the United Nations Headquarters, which sits on the banks of the East River on the island of Manhattan. New York has a relatively short history, just over 300 years. The earliest settlements were at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, where the Indians lived. The Italian Vlazano was the first to come to the estuary in 1524, and in 1609 the Englishman Hudson went up the river, and the river was named after him. In 1626, the Dutch bought Manhattan Island from the Indians for small items worth about 60 guilders (equivalent to $24) and turned it into a trading post, which they called "New Amsterdam". In 1664, King Charles II's younger brother, the Duke of York, occupied the area and renamed it New York (New York, England has Yorkshire). New York was founded in 1686. During the Revolutionary War, New York was George? The seat of the headquarters in Washington and the place where he became the first president of the United States, was also the temporary capital of the United States at the time. In 1825, the Erie Canal, which connected the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, was completed and navigated, and later a railroad was built, connecting New York with the Midwest and promoting the city's great development. By the middle of the 19th century, New York had become the largest port city in the United States and an international metropolis integrating finance, trade, tourism, culture and the arts. Manhattan Island is the core of New York and is the smallest of the five boroughs, at just 57.91 square kilometers. But this small island, which is narrow from east to west and long from north to south, is the financial center of the United States, with more than one-third of the 500 largest American companies headquartered in Manhattan. Six of the seven major banks, as well as the headquarters of the major monopolies, have a central presence here. It also concentrates the essence of the world's financial, securities, futures and insurance industries. Wall Street, located in the southern part of Manhattan Island, is a symbol of American wealth and economic power, as well as a stronghold of American monopoly capital and a synonym for the financial oligarchy. This narrow street, which is only 540 meters long, is lined with more than 2,900 financial and foreign trade institutions. The famous New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange are located here. New York is also the city with the most skyscrapers. Representative buildings include the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Rockefeller Center, and later the World Trade Center (which collapsed on September 11, 2001 after a terrorist attack). The Empire State Building and the World Trade Center are both more than 100 stories tall and majestic. As a result, New York has become known as the "Standing City". New York is also the center of American culture, art, music, and publishing, with numerous museums, galleries, libraries, scientific research institutions, and art centers, as well as the headquarters of the three major American radio and television networks, as well as some influential newspapers, magazines, and news agencies. New York is also one of the industrial centers of the United States, with garment, printing, cosmetics and other industries ranking first in the country, and machine manufacturing, arms production, petroleum processing and food processing also occupy an important position. Most of the city's rivers open to the Atlantic Ocean, and the port is huge, well-equipped, and does not freeze all year round. New York is also an important rail hub. With a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers, New York's subway is currently the longest and fastest subway transportation system in the world. New York has three international airports, among which the famous John F. Kennedy International Airport is responsible for 50% of the country's import and export cargo air transportation business and 35% of international passenger transportation business. New York has the highest concentration of ethnic minorities in the United States. There are more than 1 million blacks, mainly in the Harlem neighborhood. The famous Chinatown is home to 150,000 Chinese. There were also numerous Italians and Jews.

After Li Chuanfeng and the others got off the train, they first inquired about the address of Bingluo's team, anyway, Bingluo's home stadium would definitely be easier to find than Dark Snake. After listening to it for a while, someone finally said that they were on the Brooklyn side, and Li Chuanfeng and the others embarked on the journey again.

Brooklyn is the most populous of the five boroughs in New York City, New York, with 2.5 million residents. It is located in the northeastern United States, southeast of Manhattan Island, New York. If the district were a city, it would be the fourth largest city in the United States in terms of population alone. It is also the most populous borough in New York State. Brooklyn started with only six small Dutch immigrant villages built on the East River, known as Little Holland. It became part of the New York Dependency in 1664. In 1898, it was officially incorporated into New York City and became one of the five boroughs.

Most of Brooklyn has streets as neatly arranged as a chessboard; Many street names are named with numbers, so if you get lost, it won't be hard to find. The wide and bustling commercial street is lined with small alleys and alleys of quiet residential areas, and the houses are colorful and colorful, but the architectural style of each street is often relatively consistent. Except for some apartment buildings with no more than six floors, most of the houses are two-storey buildings, with independent bungalows in the greenery, small houses with fairy tale flavors, and exquisite and practical duplex or townhouses; There are colonial style of colonized arches of the loggia, Victorian style of thin columns with protruding windows, thick and luxurious brownstone, and so on. These old mansions with different styles, colorful, neat and beautiful, have a history of more than 100 years, they are like carefully dressed half-aged, and the vicissitudes of life are gorgeous. Strolling through the streets and alleys, enjoying the gentle leisure, watching the red flowers and green grasses in the front yards of every house, as well as the decorative pieces that seem to be scattered there unintentionally, are pleasing to the eye and beautiful. For many Brooklynns, Brooklyn is New York. Even the spoken language is said to be Brooklyn English. It has also been said that the sharp, hard-working, energetic language of the typical New Yorker, if not born in Brooklyn, must have been nurtured in this community. Politicians and local civil rights leaders like to say that one out of every seven Americans has roots here; Brooklyn is the cradle of exceptional people and Nobel laureates. Whether this is true or not, Brooklyn is home to many celebrities, and the films, television, and books inspired by local people, attractions, and legends have contributed much to American culture. Such as NBA star Michael? Jordan, Hollywood film director Woody? Allen, boxing champion Tyson, talk show celebrity Larry? Kim and the others grew up here.

The southern tip of Bensenge faces the vast Atlantic Ocean. There's a promenade that stretches for miles along the beach, and the Van Lezano Bridge, which connects to Staten Island, is a picturesque sight of seagulls. When the wind is good, people walk, fish, sit, read, recuperate, ride bicycles, or play and picnic on the lawn next to it, which is a good place to relax and relax. To the southeast of Bensenge, there is a Brighton Beach Street, which is a Russian neighborhood. I sometimes go to the Russian-style street to shop and dine, and the liveliness is not inferior to that of Chinatown. In the summer sea breeze, people sit lazily on beach chairs, drink coffee freely, speak Russian unscrupulously, and bury their heads in Russian newspapers, just as we like to speak our hometown dialect and read Chinese newspapers. Further south, you'll find Coney Island, home to its famous casinos, beaches and aquariums. There are many ethnic neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and in addition to the Eighth Avenue in Sunset Park, the emerging Chinatown and U Avenue in Sheepshead Bay are also beginning to take shape. There are several Italian, Jewish and black quarters, as well as many Russian, Polish-Czech, Irish, German, Arab and Puerto Rican neighborhoods. If you don't leave Brooklyn, you can "travel around the world". Because I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Main Library Museum, and occasionally set foot in the black neighborhood near Army Square, I always felt bustling and peaceful. I visited the Cable Corporation office and went to the black quarter of Eastflatbush. Passing through the high-class Jewish residential area, where the streets were mostly white-skinned Jews, the view changed dramatically, as if crossing the border and entering another world where almost all blacks were crossed. The office was located in the heart of a black residential area, but seeing that the streets were clean, the houses were neat, and the atmosphere was quiet, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and I saw a middle-aged man washing his car in front of his house, while greeting us; It's very different from what I imagined to be a dilapidated mess, with idle, idle people standing on the streets. Later, I learned that this was a middle-class black neighborhood dominated by professionals.

Li Chuanfeng and a few of them met enthusiastic people after getting in the car, and talked to a few of them about New York? The history of Brooklyn, Li Chuanfeng and others are still very weak about the history of some countries, just like when you go to India, you must not order beef.

Brooklyn is not far from New York, but because of his understanding of Brooklyn along the way, Li Chuanfeng knows that maybe this is the charm of New York.

After getting off the train, it was still early, Li Chuanfeng and the others first found a cheaper hotel to live in, as for the challenge, they still have to wait until the evening to talk about it, after all, they are here in a hot and unfamiliar place, if Clark's friends don't come, they really don't know what to do, Li Chuanfeng arrived at the hotel and first sent a text message to Clark, saying their place.

In the evening, Li Chuanfeng asked the owner of the hotel how far it was from the home court of the Nets, and the boss said that it would take about 10 minutes to walk, and Clark's friends did not come, so they still went for a walk first, and by the way, they took a look at the Nets' arena.

I'm embarrassed to write a lot of things in New York, but New York is indeed a very good place, and I hope you will support Xiao Er!
