The Empire State Building is a magnificent Art Deco skyscraper, a living testament to New York's history and an iconic symbol of the city's culture today. It has 102 floors and stands 1,454 ft (approx. 447 m) tall at its pinnacle. After its completion, it held the title of the world's tallest building for nearly 40 years. The 86th-floor observatory is approx. 320 m above ground, serving as an open-air viewing platform that has been open to the public since the tower's completion and has been the backdrop for countless classic films and traveler photos. The circular walkway offers a 360-degree view: to the north, you can see the sprawling greenery of Central Park; to the south, the Statue of Liberty is visible in the distance, with the Hudson River and East River winding along either side of the city. Landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Times Square are fully visible, and on clear days, the view extends to the borders of multiple surrounding states. An audio guide in multiple languages is available on-site, paired with binoculars on the observatory, helping travelers identify landmarks and learn the stories behind the architecture. The 102nd-floor observation deck sits approx. 381 m above ground, featuring a fully enclosed indoor space surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass—weatherproof and ideal for travelers seeking secure panoramic photography. The queue route passes permanent exhibits on the 2nd and 80th floors: black-and-white archival photos and immersive installations recount the tower's construction completed in approx. 410 days, while King Kong-themed interactive displays and a surround-sound theater compiling hundreds of film clips highlight its pop-culture legacy. An evening ascent captures both sunset hues and city lights; as the deck is highly popular, allocate ample waiting time during peak hours.

This May, I finally made it to the United States, a place I'd long dreamed of visiting. The trip lasted nearly 20 days, and the grand finale was the Empire State Building in New York City. We observed the city from daytime until dusk and nightfall, experiencing the different charms of New York at different times of day. The view was truly breathtaking! Although we also come from a major metropolis, personally, I feel there's still a gap between our experience and that of New York. The Empire State Building visit brought our American trip to a perfect close!
