New York City is made up of five boroughs (行政区) and hence another nickname of the city is "The Five Boroughs". The five boroughs are: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
There are many famous buildings and sights in New York, especially in Manhattan. These include the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building and the United Nations Building. When you visit New York, make sure you see Central Park, Times Square, Chinatown, Little Italy and of course the Statue of Liberty. Additionally, there are many wonderful museums in New York,
some truly excellent shops, some of the world's best theaters in the Broadway area, and the neighborhoods of Greenwich Village and SoHo which are well-known for the artists who reside there.
Getting around New York City is simple --- the city' s subway network is one of the most comprehensive in the world, connecting all parts of Manhattan in rapid time.
However, the best way to see New York is undoubtedly on foot. Central Park is an ideal place to start a walking tour of New York City --- 843 acres of shining ponds and lush greenery attract locals and tourists. And apart from offering breathtaking scenery, it is a centre for recreation. Visitors can listen to music groups, watch performers, walk along the trails and even take a romantic ride in a horse carriage.
