Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise

    We went to New York City trip last Friday, July 25th.We went to the Circle Line dock, and have a cruise around Manhattan. Boarding the boat at 12:30 noon, we saw the statue of Liberty, and 101 NYC sites!
    It was a wonderful trip along the Hudson River.The modern buildings and the splendid sight-seeings on both side of the river are attractive and pleasing to our eyes. I was bathed in the burning sunshine and cool sea wind for almost 30 minutes.I felt it was so nice to travel by boat. Meanwhile I was fascinated by all the bridges on the Hudson River. I could not remember all the names of the bridges,only  mention a few here:George Washington Bridge, Tappan Zee Bridge, Bear Mountain Bridge, New burgh-Beacon Bridge, Mid-Hudson Bridge,etc.The most impressive one is the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the oldest suspension bridges  in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River  It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed.It witnesses the great change of New York City.Luckily I was there and saw the beauty of the city and the river, the bridges over the river!







I hope you can see the beauty of the bridges over the Hudson River!
