Rockefeller is a magnificent mansion sitting in the middle of Manhattan and beside it of course there is a place called Rockefeller center. This is my second time visiting the great building. However the Lego shop located in the center as well as the mansion itself still surprised and made me feel so excited. Before we enter the 259m high mansion we visit the world famous Lego shop, which including all sort of Lego that you couldn't imagine. Even of those Lego that had already been out of print you can still find in this shop. With the great variety of those Lego, my eyes was filled with all of those vivid colors and types. Inside the shop I saw people from children to adult. Everyone of them were finding something they were looking for and fond of. What I think the most interesting in this store was the little table located in the side of the shop that look like an buffet area, on this table was filled with many little boxes, each box contained different kind of Lego outfit that you can put on the little Lego man. There were outfit of pants, shirts, cap, as well as different faces you can pick. Even did I this 18 year old teenager enjoy making the little Lego man.

And these memorial including Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial and The Reflecting Pool. All these memorial are often see in the movies and in the history of America as well. Every of these memorial has its own story and background for us to find out.

Central Park
When it comes to Manhattan there is no way you can miss the breathtaking Central Park, where tons of films had taken place. Central Park is one of the world's largest urban public parks, on 843 acres (3.41 km2) of city-owned land.
On the 3rd day of my trip to New York, I visit the park that I have been long desire for. In side this huge park, me and my brother decided to wonder the place by bicycle. After we rent the bike at the front gate of Central Park we started our journey. The park not only contained various of natural plants as well as animals, but also had lots of activities for us to enjoy. Inside this urban public parks we found versatile musicians, beautiful ponds, gorgeous horses and cute boats for us to ride on to name just a few.
What impressed me the most were no doubt those gifted musicians who are like diamonds decorating the natural paradise, the melody they played smoothed the atmosphere among the audience, accompanied with the cozy wind, I felt so relax and comfortable. I could even see people danced along the rhythm. Every time when the songs ended the crowed always burst into applause. There songs is the memories that I will never forgot.

The Big Apple--Time Spuare
New York is no doubt the largest international city in the world, and Time square can consider as its landmark as well as the most fancy place in the heart of this city. When it comes to visit this fantastic city, there is no way you can miss Time square what so called the big apple. This is my second time visiting this breath taking place. However, the feeling I felt this time was totally as shock and as amazed as my first visit.
Still remember it was about ten in the evening. Yet, all the billboards surrounded the square were making the place as if it was at the morning. All sorts of colors came from various kind of billboard. The light of red, green, blue, yellow spread through the entire place as if rainbow. The color were so bright and so vivid that made my eyes dizzy. Not only did the billboards made me felt overwhelmed, but also the great variety of the store sitting around the square. Including many famous restaurants, gift shops, Broadway theater and clothes shop to name really just a few. In addition, the people in Time square is also surprising. Besides all those billboard and stores all you cold see was people covering all the place. Even until late evening, you could still see crowds all over the square. And just like the great variety of the stores, people there came from all around the world, while wondering around the place you could hear language from all over the world. It was like attending an international meeting, language from Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean and of course Chinese and many of those I couldn't recognized came into my ears.
Time square is the best place I've ever been. And it was an experience that I will never forget. Time square had broaden my horizon entirely. The feeling I gain was also precious to my life. Time square is a place that i most recommended.

Madame Tussauds New York
The trip to Madame Tussauds New York was definitely an fascinating experience for me. At first, me and my brother weren't expect to see anything exciting. However, it was at the moment we enter the showroom that we found we were both totally wrong. At first, what came in to our sight was a crowded room, which seemed had nothing but people. However, after we look closer, surprisingly, our eyes started to recognized those lively wax figure hiding among the crowd, and those figure were all extremely famous celebrities as well as notabilities through out the world. Such as Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to name just a few. As we walk through those vivid celebrities, to be honest, it felt quite weird and awkward. Some of those wax figures looked so real that I couldn't believe my eyes until I walk straight toward and touch with my own hand that I could make sure. The deeper the showroom I walked the more celebrities from time to time, from country to country I saw. This was a memory that I won't forget in my lifetime. Not only because I nominally got to meet all those famous people, but also how lively the wax figures cold be.

New York-Broadway-Lion King
It was the 9th day in New York City that I went to see this awesome Broadway show which I consider one of the best that you can't miss in your lifetime. During the show, each performer finely, lively and perfectly plays the animal roles such as lions, elephants, antelopes and hyaenas to name just a few. Moreover, the singing along the show is also touching, every singer used their deep emotion to express the feeling of each role, the feeling of love, of happiness or even hatred. Every time they sing I was always completely moved and really put myself into the plot, following the story as well as the character I laughed, I cried, and I cheered the whole time. I really cherished this great experience and it is a memory that I wouldn't forget in my life.
