The Governor's Island is very small, I don't know if it is an artificial island. We saw it when we visited the Statue of Liberty, and we didn't pay special attention. We can visit it together when we take a boat tour.
Governor Island is located on the seaside in the corner of Manhattan. The island is not big. The greenery here is particularly good. If you take Liberty Island, you can play these small islands as a line. There are also boats that can go to the island.
If you come to New York, you must punch in the Statue of Liberty. If you want to see the goddess up close, most tourists choose to take the cruise ship Free Island to see. It takes a long queue (even if you book a ferry ticket online). Go to liberty island, it is not a dream to queue for two hours on holidays. ✌ Ferry tickets and tour coupons cost 170 yuan left and right. But, to be honest, if you just want to see the whole picture of the goddess, you don't need close-ups, and you don't need to know more historical stories, then it is enough to come to Governor's Island ❗️❗️ Detailed address :Governors Island, New York, NY 10004⏰ Business hours: Monday ~ Thursday 10:00-18:00 Friday, Saturday 10:00-22:00 (late night until September 1) Sunday 10:00-18:00 Traffic Raiders: Just take the New York City Metro N/R, get off at Whitehall Street and get off at the southernmost ferry area of Lower Manhattan. The ferry usually leaves at half-time, and the return journey is also. Featured recommendation: 1⃣ Very cost-effective, free on the island, round-trip ferry for only $3, you can enjoy a free tour, the island has a wide view, overlooking the panoramic view of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan, you can have picnics, camping, and rent bicycles around the island 2⃣ Governor Island was once a US military The base stands with many old red brick buildings. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted. When the spring flowers are blooming, come here to take pictures. There are two or three restaurants on the pier on the island. Under the colorful umbrella, the sea breeze is blowing. Look at the Manhattan complex. It is very pleasant. Because I went too early, the restaurant selling oysters did not open, only a Mexican taco store just opened, so I blinded a mexico burger and a bottle of soda in the past. Oops, it was super delicious. The burger looked ugly. It was sputum. I bit the fragrant and juicy beef. Lei, I can’t help but eat ❗️ and drink another soda in one breath. I’m satisfied with the practical tips: 1⃣ Wear light shoes.~ If you walk around the island, you are expected to look eight or nine kilometers. 2⃣ There are many beverage vending machines on the island, but there is very little mineral water. Almost all carbonated drinks suggest that you have control over calorie intake. 3⃣ The ecological environment on the island is better, so there will be bees (see the last picture, there is a bee attracted by my soda), flies and the most hated mosquitoes, try to spray mosquito repellent water. Don't ask me how I know, I won't show you the bag on your leg
Governor Island is roughly south of Manhattan Island, and you can take a ferry to the island in summer and autumn. From Manhattan's Battery Maritime Building Pier to Governor Island, the round-trip fare is only $2. If you look at the map, Governors Island looks like an ice cream, so I gave it a nickname Ice Cream Island. There are not many people on the island, but everyone is not low. Many people commute to and from Manhattan every day on their own speedboats. The environment on the island is very good and very suitable for leisure activities.
Governor Island (Gaffner Island) is a Upper New York Bay in New York City, about 1 km south of Manhattan Island, separated from Brooklyn by the Batmirke Waterway.
Governor Island is a very famous island in New York. It is suitable for going with children. It is worth a visit when the sun is shining. The ticket is very cheap. The weather is good. I heard that it is good here. I came and almost lost my way. However, after arriving, I felt that it was all worth it.
