Introduction

New York Central Station is located in the center of Manhattan and was completed in 1903. It officially opened to the public on February 2, 1913. This building is an iconic landmark and transportation hub in New York, as well as a public art gallery. Its high-ceilinged waiting hall and separate areas for people and cars make a deep impression. In the waiting hall, the main staircase is designed in the style of the Paris Opera House, and the arched ceiling is painted by French artist Paul Helleu, depicting the 12 zodiac signs with over 2,500 stars whose positions are marked by lights. With just one power source, the entire waiting hall can light up in a dazzling manner.
