[move]New York----纽约印象[/move]

  Overveiw
  Despite the pall that settled over this city in the aftermath of Sept. 11,
things are different now. The city has pulled itself together and now is
the best time to visit this magical, majestic place. Deals can be found in
hotels and restaurants, and lines are shorter for many attractions. For
those who have visited before, it's also a great time to return to your
favorite places and remind yourself that New York is a splendid, unparalleled
city. We're only scraping the tip of the iceberg with our suggestions,
but here is an assortment of activities, hotels, restaurants, shops and scenes
to get you started.

Worth Doing
  Take a neighborhood stroll — Greenwich Village's history dates back to the
16th century when the area was settled by the Native Americans. But what it's
most famous for is its bohemian background with a tolerance for diversity.
A center for the Beat movement and gay rights, Greenwich Village is now a
place of high rents and chain store coffee shops. But its spirit lives on
in many of its old-time haunts.

Raise the curtain
  If you've tried the traditional route to get tickets to a Broadway production,
then it's time to hit the TKTS booth on 47th Street at Broadway in the heart
of Times Square. There you can find last-minute rates on tickets to shows on
the same day — all 25 to 50 percent off. The chances of getting tickets to
The Producers are nil. But with 30 to 40 shows on Broadway at any time, there
are dozens of good options to choose from. And the word is you don't have to
be an Abba fan to love Mamma Mia, a musical about Abba's music, at the Winter
Garden Theater; (212) 221-0013.

  Outdoor art
  It may be the financial capital, but it's also a sculptural dream. The area
around Wall Street offers some of the best public sculpture, none of which was
damaged, miraculously, on Sept. 11. Sites include Louise Nevelson Plaza with
its seven imposing steel pieces Shadows and Flags that jut toward the sky.
Jean Dubuffet's Group of Four Trees at Chase Manhattan Plaza and Isamu
Noguchi's Sunken Garden, are just steps away; One Chase Manhattan Plaza
between Pine, Liberty, Nassau and William streets.

  Wall Street trader
  Ever wonder how your stock order gets processed? Even in this computer age,
trades are still made on the trading floor by people shouting and waving slips
of paper. Visitors are welcome at the New York Stock Exchange on weekdays from
8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but only to view the trading. Tickets are distributed
on a first-come basis from 20 Broad St., and the exchange advises that visitors
come early. Because of the events of Sept. 11th, the NYSE is still closed to
visitors, but hopes to re-open this year; New York Stock Exchange; 20 Broad
St.; (212) 656-5168; www.nyse.com

With the development of Shanghai & Shenzhen, they are much more like New York as in city style and infrastructure.
But, I think they have different culture-----unique culture！！

As we know, Las Vegas is famous for gambling. So, it's a city of gamble.
