When it comes to New York, one cannot forget about Wall Street, the world's financial center. Located in Lower Manhattan, this narrow street is only 500 meters long and 11 meters wide, earning it the nickname "the Wall Street". The skyscrapers on both sides tower high, giving the illusion of a deep canyon. Despite the gradual decline in influence in the financial world after the 9/11 attacks, the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, American Stock Exchange, New York Mercantile Exchange and New York Board of Trade still remain in Wall Street. Its influence cannot be ignored. In Bowling Green Park, there is a bronze statue of a bull which symbolizes the movement of the stock market and has become a symbol of Wall Street.

Outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia stands a modern clock tower, which contains one of the world's famous bells - the Liberty Bell. The inscription on the clock face reads "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
The Liberty Bell was commissioned in 1751 to commemorate William Penn's 1701 Charter of Rights. However, the bell cracked when it was first rung in 1752 and went through several major cracks and two major repairs. The current one-centimeter wide crack on the face of the bell was not caused by ringing but was a repair attempt to prevent the crack from expanding. If you look closely, you can see some hairline cracks at the top of the main crack that extend to the top of the bell, which led to people abandoning efforts to restore and use the Liberty Bell.
The Liberty Bell is said to have been rung many times in history, with the most famous being on July 4, 1776, to call people to hear the reading of the Declaration of Independence. However, historians have long been skeptical of this claim. The Liberty Bell is not only a symbol of Philadelphia but also a symbol of the American spirit of freedom, deeply loved by the American people. It has witnessed the most important events in early American history. In addition to the original hanging in the gallery, there are many replicas of the Liberty Bell, but no matter which bell, they represent the values of American democracy and have a special place in the hearts of Americans.
