Empire State Building

Went with my mum (first time) at sunset hour. It was really nice view despite strong wind in winter. Great for first timers.

Great for views of New York, makes sure you go up on a clear day

As I ascended the Empire State Building observation deck, the lights of Manhattan gradually illuminated the twilight, like a galaxy inverted on the earth. The cold wind jingled the love locks on the railings, and the streaks of light from the yellow taxis below reminded me of the time-traveling encounter in "Sleepless in Seattle." On the 86th floor, in a corner, I spotted an elderly couple, their wrinkled wool scarves billowing like gentle sails in the night breeze, quietly embracing through binoculars. As neon signs flashed in the distance, I suddenly understood why this city forever attracts dreamers—not because of its height, but because behind every window lies an untamed yearning.

The observation deck is open-air, and it will be windy at night, so you need to wear a little more. Slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery, take a rest, and stay until 10:00 pm before coming out of the Empire State Building. This experience is very beautiful and shocking.

Came here on September 19, 2017. The Empire State Building was built at the beginning of the United States' march toward world hegemony, and it has long occupied the throne of the world's tallest building. It can be said that it is a must-see attraction when visiting the United States. The building is located in the center of Midtown Manhattan. From the observation deck, you can have a 360-degree bird's-eye view of the entire Manhattan, as well as the surrounding states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, etc. However, there are many skyscrapers taller than it in China and even in the world now, and the scenery and vision are not much inferior, so the significance of coming up now may not be so great. Whether to go up and take a look is a matter of opinion.

The open-air observation deck is the real soul. When mist shrouded Manhattan, You will suddenly understand why workers risked their lives in 1931 to operate here - from this high overlooking Central Park into emerald town paper, the ferry on the East River turned into glowing beetles.

The moment the elevator quickly rose to the 86th floor, my ears swelled slightly and my heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. When I walked out of the elevator, the wind blowing in my face mixed with the hustle and bustle of the city made me really feel the height of this skyscraper.
