NEW YORK, WHY IS THE BEST CITY

In my opinion, New York is one of these cities that you have to visit at least once in your life, because it has all the things that you need, and another thing is that you can see an enormous amount of skyscrapers; in each street there can be maybe four of them.

Also, I would like to go to New York because it has, in my opinion, one of the most amazing parks that you can see in a city, and that is Central Park, which has around 3,4 square kilometres of extension! There is other natural place that I would like to visit, that is near New York, and that is the Niagara Falls, which are told to be very large, and which are also one of Nature’s “magic shows”.

One of the most important things that you have to visit in New York is the Liberty Statue, it has to be awesome to see it from the ground, and also to go to the top of it and see all those beautiful views of the sea and the city. Another place that is a mark of New York is Chinatown; I think this site will be, if we go, my favourite, because it’s like to be in China, but being in another continent.

To finish, I would like to go to two of the most important streets in New York, which are Time Square and Wall Street, because both of them has a lot of things to see like all the publicity with light posters in Time Square or the  big statue of a bull in Wall Street.
