Yeah...I knew central park is big, but it's right in the middle of Manhattan. Being aware of the fact that manhattan is probably the center of the world's economy, I didn't expected a very big park. However, I found out I was nowhere near being right when I went there.

 

Central is not just a park of couse, it's almost a city within a city. It occupy some fifty blocks in length and four blocks across, which is about the size of some 800 football field. It's just too good to be true. Central park has been there for one hundred fifty plus year...it's always the proud of New Yorkers. There's too much to say about this park. It boasts several lakes, theaters, ice rinks, base fields, playgrounds and other facilities. You could certainly spend an entire weekend exploring central park and nothing else and still not be able to experience all that it offers. 

 

I spent two entire morning there, I didn't do many things...just picked a few walking tour going round, sometimes sat beside lakes relaxing, sometimes stayed on the grass watching children playing. They're so great...it's really a kind of life almost everyone loves.

 

Central park is really a place to make New York such a great city to live. That's why I said Shanghai is nowhere near being like New York!!!
