Among the various mock combats fought by knights and noblemen in tournaments, the joust was one of the most spectacular. The joust of peace required highly specialized armor that was unsuited to any other use, and usually made by the greatest armorers due to the exceptional metalworking skills required. This special installation features an armor for the joust of peace of Philip I of Castile (1478–1506) on loan from the Imperial Armory, Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
A rare example among surviving armors for its refined decoration, it is also remarkable in that it was intended for a teenager. Its owner Philip I became duke of Burgundy, count of Flanders, and the ruler of additional lands, although in name only, upon his birth. He began wearing armor when he was just six years old, and this one was made for training and participating in tournaments around the time that he turned 15, when he was declared ready to rule. Through marriage, Philip became king consort of Castile and the first member of the House of Habsburg to rule over Spanish territories. His jousting armors were key to shaping his public image of a capable leader.

This 50-minute tour of the Statue of Liberty doesn&#39;t involve landing on the island. When the boat gets very close to the statue, it stops for photos and even switches directions to accommodate passengers on both sides. This tour is perfect for travelers with limited time in New York. Purchasing tickets on Ctrip is very convenient. After payment, you receive a QR code for your ticket instantly, which you can scan to board the boat. If you miss your scheduled boarding time, don&#39;t worry; you can use the QR code at the ticket window to change to the next available boat. Also, you don&#39;t need to arrive at the dock more than half an hour early; ten minutes is enough, and there&#39;s no security check.

The Empire State Building is still the most classic of all the viewing spots in New York. Even though it is so old, its facilities are not outdated and the scenery is unbeatable. As long as you catch the sunset and night view, it is worth the ticket.

Had an hour to spare during a business trip in NYC, quickly saw it was near the hotel and entrance was cheap enough. Really didn&rsquo;t expect to see iconic pieces the Starry Night and Les Demoiselles d&rsquo;Avignon in person, as I didn&rsquo;t research this place before so it was a nice surprise. Try to get there before noon for an uncrowded experience.

Fall Viewing Attractions

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

The Chinese Pavilion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is truly worth a visit. Across thousands of miles, it still amazes the world! I&#39;m grateful to Victor Zhou for his professional and thoughtful explanation, which made this trip to New York a perfect ending!
