Empire State Building {Famous Sights Post}

by Esther, 8th grade

One of the most famous cities in the USA is New York City. It is the city with the greatest population, with 8,175,000 people, according to Wikipedia. It is divided into five parts: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. The town is described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world. There are also 800 different languages spoken in the city. Some famous sights are Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building.

The Empire State Building can be found in Manhattan, New York. It is about 440 meters high including the tip. The building is huge, because there are 73 lifts and 102 floors. The building is also famous for its lights. According to the building's website, the skyscraper was first lit in 1976, and from then on has been changing color for different occasions. In 2012, new LED displays were installed, and since then the system can now change for up to 16 million colors. I chose this sight because I really wanted something from New York and the Statue of Liberty was already taken.
