【New York 911 Memorial】Feel the tragedy and courage, 180 Greenwich St

#ItinerarySharing #100Travelways The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located in Lower Manhattan, New York City, is a place of contemplation and respect that commemorates the tragedy that changed the world on September 11, 2001. Coming here is not just a trip, but a baptism and reflection of the soul. When you walk into the World Trade Center site where the memorial is located, the first thing that catches your eye is the two huge "Reflecting Pools". These two pools occupy the original site of the Twin Towers. On the bronze panels on the edge of each pool are engraved the names of the 2,977 victims, quietly guarding this once tragic place. Water continuously flows into the pool from all sides, symbolizing the passage of time and the accumulation of pain. Standing by the pool, looking down at the endless flow of water, you will involuntarily fall into deep thought, feeling the deep mourning and respect. Inside the memorial is a space for more in-depth exploration. The museum is divided into a historical exhibition area and a memorial exhibition area, which recreates every moment of the 9/11 incident through photos, films, relics and artworks. As you walk through the museum, you'll see news reports from the day, personal belongings of the victims, stories from survivors, and the fire truck that was dug out from the rubble of the Twin Towers. Each exhibit carries countless stories and emotions, making you feel as if you were there, feeling the fear, sadness and courage of that day. The most shocking of them is "The Last Column". This steel column from the original World Trade Center was the last structure to be removed from the site. It is covered with signatures, messages and souvenirs from rescuers and survivors, symbolizing tenacity and indomitable spirit. Standing in front of this pillar, you will feel the strength coming from all directions. Whether they are living or dead, their courage and determination are eternally commemorated here. In addition, the memorial also showcases the global impact of 9/11, from changes in personal life to the reshaping of international relations, allowing you to have a more comprehensive understanding of the far-reaching impact of this event. No matter where you are, every story and every exhibit here can trigger your deep thinking about life, peace and humanity. After visiting the memorial, you can go to the observation deck of One World Trade Center (also known as the Freedom Tower) outside to overlook the entire New York City. The symbol of the new World Trade Center not only represents rebirth and hope, but also demonstrates the city’s tenacity and perseverance. Standing on a high place and looking down at the busy city, you will feel the fragility and strength of life, as well as the infinite courage and love shown by mankind when facing huge disasters. The 911 Memorial is not only a place of remembrance, but also a place that reminds us to cherish the present and reflect on the past. No matter where you come from, coming here is a baptism of the soul. Through this journey, you will better understand the value and fragility of life, and leave a deep respect and touch in your heart. 💰Average consumption: 50USD 💞Recommendation reason: Remember the past and look to the future 🕰️Business hours: 9am~19pm📍Address: 180 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10007, USA
