The High Line

This is also the popular city trail in New York, spanning more than a dozen streets, from 17th to 30th Streets, on both sides are all kinds of skyscrapers in New York, standing in the Highland Park, you can also overlook the new landmark of New York Little Island, I feel that this new landmark, far away look will be more spectacular than the island tour, There are also various green plant designs in the Highland Park. Standing on the bridge, you can see the endless flow of traffic and crowds under the bridge. There are also many cafes and seats next to the park. If you are tired, you can sit down and enjoy the unique New York city scenery. I feel that the rhythm here is much slower than the New York city. Time and pace are unconsciously slower here.

In the past, an abandoned elevated railway on the West Side of Lower Manhattan was facing a demolition crisis in the 1980s. When local residents couldn't bear to tear it down, they used civil power to convert it into a green corridor on a viaduct with a green corridor and a belt park. Walking, resting, overlooking the pulsation of Manhattan and the neighboring Querxi Market, it has become a must-visit attraction in New York ～

High Line Park (The High Line) was planned after the retirement of the original railway line, and the main body is actually similar to a viaduct. Walking in it is like walking in a garden hanging in the air. On both sides of the road are a variety of buildings, there are office buildings, apartments, and old buildings that have been a bit old for a long time, and you can see artistic graffiti from time to time. This time we came for a walk, it happened to be late autumn, and we often saw trees in autumn, which was very pleasant.

More than 200 plants have been carefully designed to thrive in a two-kilometer linear garden, reflecting two abandoned rails and becoming green ribbons in the air of central Manhattan. I particularly appreciate the New York High Line Park, not only because of its special landscape, but also because the story behind it reflects that the United States advocates democracy and the rule of law, respects the spirit of the individual, and under this system, individuals with courage and faith have the possibility of achieving any ideal. Real estate developers took a fancy to the low land prices in the area where the abandoned rails were located, lobbied the New York City Government to demolish the railways and build commercial buildings, winning the support of Mayor Juliani, who was determined to change the crime-ridden environment in this area. Two young people in the city stood in the middle of the railroad as the thunderous mayor, a real estate developer swallowed by whales, and the luxurious landowners rushed in. Freelance writer David and painter Hammondo loved the overhead Manhattan stretch, two kilometres of lush weeds, blooming wildflowers and the beauty of the Hudson River sunset. In 1999, they set up a non-profit organization "Friends of the High-speed Railway" to distribute leaflets door-to-door. Against the strong opposition of landlords under the high-speed railway, they persuaded photographers to take pictures of the natural world on the railroad, to fight lawsuits with the New York City Government, to participate in courts and hearings countless times, and lost lawsuits, but won time. Finally, they ushered in a turnaround. After seven years of hard work, in celebrities, celebrities and cel With the help of officials, 20 million funds were raised and 150 million government funds were allocated. Construction of high-line garden started in 2006, and was officially opened in 2009. Phase III of the project was completed in 2014. High-Line Park has been successfully integrated into the urban background of New York and the daily life of New Yorkers. * Practical tips - "1, how to get there, there are many entrances to the park on 10th Avenue. The southern end is near the 14th Street Station on the A, C or E Line of the Metro, and the northern end is near the 34th Street Station of Line 7. There are clear lines on the Google map. Enter "high line" and you can find them. 2. It takes an hour to walk slowly down the whole journey. In the evening, you can watch the sunset of Hudson River in the High Line Park. It's very beautiful. 3. It is suggested to go from north to south. Near the south end is Chelsea Market, the most attractive market in New York. We should try lobster, oysters, lobster rolls and other delicacies.

Very good place worth a visit!

Surprisingly good. Real city scenery, when walking one street after another, block building slides into sight and fades out of sight, wandering in the air, watching vehicles passing by, and New York has a sense of beauty. This once abandoned elevated railway is blooming with unusual brilliance. You can choose to walk from 34th Street at the North end, where there is Line 7, which is very convenient. The more fashionable it is in South Vietnam, you can take the elevator downstairs to Chelsea Market to eat lobster. The market is worth visiting. The southernmost point is the Hudson River. Whitney Art Museum is the river view only. It moved from the old museum. Shortly after its opening, it was full of modernist paintings and photographs. It is worth visiting. It is suggested that the fare be recommended between 19:00 and 22:00 on Friday. Walk elevated for 1 hour, there are many seats, but almost no snacks to buy. Please buy them downstairs and bring them to eat.

We come up the staircase from 30th Street on 10th Avenue, down the railway until the end is Whitney Art Museum. It's comfortable and crowded. We walk back from Whitney Art Museum. On 15th Street on 9th Avenue, we see Google's building. There's the famous Chelsea Market opposite. Eat, eat and stroll. Walk around like this, eat, drink and eat for half a day. Think of Xiamen Railway Park

Is it 2016, is it the first time to go to New York? Anyway, I don’t go to those people’s punch points. I chose the Chelsea Market and the High Line Park. It feels good. Although it is a super bustling and fast-paced city, I have the opportunity to find those who have those simple pleasures.
