Times Square is a bustling block in Manhattan, known as the "crossroads of the world". Nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters gather near here, which is a prosperous entertainment and shopping center. The theaters on Broadway, a large number of dazzling neon tube advertisements, and TV-style propaganda boards have become the symbol of New York, reflecting the strong urban characteristics of Manhattan. Approaching Times Square, you will be surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers, and the big screens playing news, music videos, and TV programs at any time are enough to shock everyone's eyes. You can take pictures of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and the Broadway Opera House here.

Depart for Watkins Glen in the morning

(Go only if time/traffic/weather permits) (Since the canyon is full of rocks and waterfalls, it will be closed on rainy days and in winter, and is only open to the public from May to October each year. At the same time, due to the long distance to the waterfall, the driver's daily driving time is limited by law. In case of traffic jams or delays, the tour guide will make a decision based on the traffic conditions/weather of the day. For safety reasons, the company has the right to change or cancel this attraction.)
Watkins Glen is located in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, USA. It is one of the areas with the highest concentration of waterfalls in the United States. It is a stratified rock geology, eroded by glaciers and streams, forming a unique landform, which is considered one of the most magical landscapes in the world. The canyon, which is about two miles long, carries 400 feet of water. There are 19 waterfalls along its route, including the famous Rainbow Falls and Iron Chain Falls. Here, you can overlook the canyon along the edge trail, hike through the mountain trails in the canyon, and enjoy the waterfalls up close. It was once loved by tourists and named the canyon "Millennium Valley".

Watkins Canyon will close on or about 10/30/2024 and will be replaced by Corning Museum.

Corning, as a Fortune 500 company, has a history of more than 150 years and is a leader in the special glass and ceramic materials industry. It has the world's largest glass collection museum. The status of Corning glass in the United States is like the status of Jingdezhen porcelain in China. You can also enjoy a live glass production show here.
