A bustling neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, known as “The Crossroads of the World.” Its center is at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Broadway. Nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters are clustered around Times Square, which is also where Good Morning America is broadcast live.

Statue of Liberty

Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge

Manhattan and Brooklyn are separated by just a river, and the Brooklyn Bridge is the most iconic bridge over the Hudson River. It has featured in Spider-Man’s leaps, Miranda and her husband’s reunion in Sex and the City, Scent of a Woman, New York, I Love You, and The Godfather. It seems to be a calling card for movies filmed in New York. Entering New York via the Brooklyn Bridge gives you that cinematic sense of occasion.

Wall Street

Wall Street

Wall Street, known as the world's financial center, is a narrow street in Lower Manhattan, measuring just 500 meters long and 11 meters wide. Its English name literally means “Street of Walls.” Skyscrapers line both sides, and walking down the middle feels like entering a deep canyon. Since 9/11, Wall Street's influence in the financial world has gradually waned, and many financial firms have moved their headquarters to the increasingly vibrant Midtown. However, the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and the New York Futures Exchange are still located on Wall Street, whose influence remains considerable. Nearby Bowling Green Park is home to a bronze bull symbolizing a soaring stock market. It is also an emblem of Wall Street, and is polished to a shine by the many visitors who touch it year-round.

We’ll view Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell from the outside, feel the passion of the American Founding Fathers, and hear the story of the Declaration of Independence.

After the Capitol, follow Pennsylvania Avenue; it’s just a ten-minute drive to the White House. The white palace, the President’s residence, is a must-see photo stop. We’ll then explore the city, gaze across the Reflecting Pool from the solemn steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and recall the words “I have a dream” and the vision of equality. Stroll along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where the names of fallen soldiers are engraved on black granite, and reflect on the weight of war.

A Fortune Global 500 company with a history spanning more than 150 years, Corning is a leader in specialty glass and ceramic materials.

After the canyon, we will arrive in Buffalo, New York's second-largest city. A city shaped by both glory and decline, it was the starting point of the Erie Canal and the source of the falls' waters. Climb the observation tower for sweeping views of the Great Lakes and learn about the city's rise and fall. Afterward, stroll through Buffalo's Naval Park and trace the glory days of America's great age of shipping. Arrive at Niagara Falls at dusk, one of the world’s three great waterfalls. Known in ancient Native American legends as the Thunder God’s Water, it becomes a fairy-tale waterfall found only at night. As night falls, join us for an evening visit to Goat Island, where colorful lights shimmer through the mist.
