New York's Grand Central Terminal: A transportation temple where history and modernity intertwine at Empire State Gate

Built in 1913, the Grand Central Terminal in New York is located at 450 Lexington Ave in Midtown Manhattan and is one of the landmark train stations in the United States! It's not just transportation, it's also a symbol of the pulse of New York's city, really the heart of the empire🏙. Featuring Bakers art style architecture, classical elements and modern design blend beautifully, and served millions of soldiers during World War II, witnessing the angry century of urban changes. It swallows more than 750,000 people a day and fully feels the diversity and vitality of New York.

🗾Must-see attractions:
You must go to the Main Concourse, the ceiling star pattern is beautifully painted, it's like being under the stars✨! Don’t miss the Information Booth Clock, a representation of the punctual spirit of New Yorkers. The underground food street (Grand Central Market) has a lot of global food, Whispering Gallery whispering wall is super magical, couples to play whispering effect is very sweet💑.
