纽约——大都会，大苹果

　　
　　Fall
　　New York City bursts with blockbuster exhibits, world-class music and Broadway shows not to mention great sightseeing, shopping, and special events. Opening nights for the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera are in September, and October brings such highlights as the Columbus Day Parade, Belmont Park’s Breeder’s Cup, and the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular kicks off November, followed by the New York City Marathon, the New York Chocolate Show, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Garden Train Show, and the lighting of the tree in Rockefeller Center.
　　
　　
　　City Look
　　城市一瞥
　　New York is one of the most famous cities in the world, probably due to the huge number of landmarks, museums, shops and entertainment there is on offer. If you didn't quite believe that Americans always have to be that bit bigger and better than the rest of the world, after a visit here, you will understand.
　　
　　Times Square（时代广场） is packed full of enough dazzling entertainment to amuse you for hours. Home to the famous flashing advertisements and millions of other bright lights, it is not surprising that this is where the action is. There are a variety of restaurants, cinemas and nightclubs.
　　
　　Theatre district Broadway（百老汇戏剧中心） is just around the corner, which of course offers the biggest and best shows. These come at a hefty price, but are well worth it. The shows get less expensive as you move further out, but they are obviously not running on a budget quite as spectacular as the more famous musicals.
　　
　　For even more entertainment, Radio City Music Hall（剧院无线电音乐城） is the largest movie theatre in the world. It has a capacity for over 6000 people and offers stage shows, which change their themes seasonally.
　　
　　For shopping funs, Fifth Avenue（第五大道） is a must. Mansions were built by the newly rich in the late nineteenth century along this avenue. After World War 1, the section opposite Central Park became more popular. Quality department stores such as Macy's, which is the largest in the world, sprung up here to feed the shopping funs of the twentieth century. If you've got any money left, over on the East Side is Bloomingdales
　　
　　From Battery Park（巴特里公园）, take the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty（自由女神像）. The 15 minute crossing leaves every half hour and is well worth the trip, especially as you can even explore inside the statue as well as admire it. You can then move on to Ellis Island where you can visit the Ellis Island Immigration Museum（艾利斯岛移民博物馆）.

The information center and library provide comprehensive information about contemporary Germany.
