Travel to the eastern United States, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday will start at the end of May, 20 17, start on May 27th, and return on June 13. Round trip 16 days, covering Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., passing through Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Delaware, the whole journey is 2350 miles by car. UMass (Amherst Campus of the University of Massachusetts), where his son goes to school, took him to visit Acadia National Park and Baishan National Forest Park, which are the main natural attractions of this trip.

The whole process can be divided into three stages:

1, starting from new york, a few days before UMass received his son, in new york, Cape Cod, Boston;

2. Depart from Massachusetts to Acadia National Park in Maine and White Mountain Scenic Area in New Hampshire and then return to Massachusetts;

The first is new york.

A gathering of several Beijingers in downtown new york. I stayed in new york for two days and had dinner with different classmates every night, including my brother who slept in my upper bunk and drove from Montreal for seven hours. . . During the two-day trip, I visited the Statue of Liberty by ferry, took photos with cows on Wall Street next to the new york Stock Exchange, and visited the World Trade Center site 9 1 1. At night, Times Square is brightly lit and crowded.

Second, cape cod

Cape Cod was the first stop of English Puritans to North America, and then Mayflower arrived in Plymouth. Now Cape Cod is a famous tourist attraction in New England, the Cape Cod National Seashore is managed by the National Park Service, and the top of Provincetown is a famous creative center and LGBT sister city. The biggest feature here is that rainbow flags representing acceptance of diversity are flying everywhere. The works of art sold in the small shop are full of creativity, which is the refreshing feeling of the goods in the tourist souvenir shop.

Plymouth Plymouth

Pilgrims landed here on 1620 and established the first settlement in the new world. This is an interesting little city. At that time, the may flower ship was no longer at the pier, but there were architectural sculptures reflecting the history of Puritan immigrants everywhere in the town. I don't know why the city is full of lobster images in different clothes. All the cartoons are very interesting.

Fourth, Boston

Boston is the largest city in New England, and its urban style has some European characteristics. The floor tiles on the ancient street were still in use 400 years ago. There are historical sites and monuments just a few hundred feet away from the Freedom Trail. Of course, the historical sites here are only 400 years old at most. Boston also has the most concentrated group of colleges and universities in the United States. The most typical ones are Cambridge, Harvard and MIT, which are the halls that students all over the world dream of.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) amherst

Amherst is a famous university town in Massachusetts, where there are state flagship school districts and four colleges of arts and sciences, two of which are the top aristocratic schools in the United States, and his son is studying at UMass (University of Massachusetts). The biggest advantage of UMass is that the campus meal here is the number one campus food in the United States.

After our party in amherst, the family of three set off for Acadia National Park in Maine and Baishan National Forest Park in New Hampshire. The next article will introduce what we have seen and heard about these two natural attractions.
