New York is the largest city in the United States, located in the northern part of the East Coast of the United States, where the Hudson River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, with a population of 8 million. New York only has a history of more than 300 years. In the early 16th century, the Dutch occupied this place and named it New Amsterdam. In 1664, the Duke of York, the younger brother of King Charles II of England, occupied this place from the Dutch. This place was renamed "New York" because there is a York County in the UK, so it was called New York. Namely New York.

The core of New York is Manhattan. Manhattan is a small island that is short from east to west and long from north to south. The island is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the south, the Hudson River to the west, and the East River to the east and north. (East River), covering an area of ??only 60 square kilometers. But it is the financial center of the United States. The finance, securities, futures, insurance and other industries here play a decisive role in the world. The United Nations Building is also on this island.

The United Nations Building is at the east end of 42nd-45th Street in Manhattan, on the bank of the East River, facing the East River. There is a small square to the west. The flags of the 192 countries of the United Nations are flying on the square, and there are two There are special sculptures, one is a gun with a twisted barrel, and the other is a broken earth. People can know their meanings at a glance: one means no weapons, no war, but peace; the other means the earth on which human beings live. It has been ruined by war, man-made destruction, environmental pollution, etc. We call on people to save the earth.

The United Nations headquarters covers an area of ??19 acres. It was bought by an American who donated millions of dollars. It is owned by the member states of the United Nations and is not American territory. Construction of the United Nations Building began in 1945.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, we took a bus from the World Trade Center to the United Nations Building. We received a visiting ticket in the lobby on the first floor. Each visitor to the United Nations Building paid $7. In the United States, visiting is organized by the country. Or the facilities managed by each state are free. The United Nations building is not managed by the United States, and the United Nations requires a lot of money. Paying US$7 can be considered a small contribution to the United Nations, so everyone is willing to pay from the bottom of their hearts. There are more than 40 Chinese in our group, including people from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The visit time is 3:30 in the afternoon. Each group of visitors is divided according to the language of the explanation, including English, Russian, and Spanish. , Chinese, etc. Our guide is a Chinese girl in her 20s. She introduced herself as an employee of the United Nations and came from Beijing. There is a green round paper stuck with self-adhesive tape on the ticket. You can take it off and stick it on the left chest of your coat as a mark. The security check is not strict, but luggage, handbags, etc. are stored for free. When people walk through the "security gate", they are checked for metal objects. Because there are many groups to visit, the groups in each language cannot interfere with each other. The Beijing girl first introduced us to the overview of the United Nations. There are photos of previous United Nations Secretary-Generals hanging on the wall in the lobby, and she also gave us a brief introduction. , and then led our group directly to the second floor, where we first visited the "Security Council Chamber", then the "Trusteeship Chamber" (specially used for meetings to resolve colonial issues), and then visited the "Security Council Chamber" (used specifically for meetings to resolve colonial issues), and then visited the "Security Council Chamber" (specially used for meetings to resolve colonial issues), and then visited the "Security Council Chamber". A conference hall, and then visited the "United Nations General Assembly Conference Hall". The commentator introduced how countries in the United Nations General Assembly arrange seats every year. After coming out of the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations, we started to visit some exhibits. We first saw a large ivory sculpture donated by Chinese Foreign Minister Qiao Guanhua on behalf of China. The sculpture reflected the hardships of building the Chengdu-Kunming Railway; we also saw a model of a royal ship donated by Thailand; It is a picture of portraits from all over the world made up of small mosaic pieces of different colors; there is also a large bell made of coins donated by children from all over the world; the Japanese donated copper coins, bowls, and butterflies that were burned at high temperatures by atomic bombs during World War II. , there is also a stone statue as tall as a real person. The back of the statue was burned into pockmarks by the high temperature of the atomic bomb, but the front is intact. This shows that the light radiation of the atomic bomb at that time came from the direction of the back of the stone statue. It can be seen that the atomic bomb's Awesome, this warns all countries not to fight a nuclear war. The visit to the United Nations Building lasted only one hour and ended at half past four.

We came out of the northwest hall. There are three or four large chimneys on the southwest side of the building, like the chimneys of a power plant, but they don’t emit smoke. I wonder what they are for? The United Nations Building is on the east side of First Avenue. There are several high-rise buildings on the west side at the intersection of 45th and 46th Streets. Among them is a 50- or 60-story high-rise building that belongs to a real estate boss on Wall Street. This person is on Wall Street. He also owns real estate, lives on Wall Street, and is considered a wealthy man in the United States. He has many industries in New York. This person uses this method when recruiting lower-level managers: first select 8 men and 8 women among the recruitment targets, and the men and women will debate one-on-one, and the fittest will survive. , the last winner was hired as a lower-level manager and given a high salary. The topic has gone off topic, so that’s all for this blog post. The next post will be about my visit to Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, Times Square and other places.
