Statue of Liberty
This towering monument to liberty was built in Paris by French sculptor Bartholdi in collaboration with Gustave Eiffel (who designed the steel frame) as a gift from France on the occasion of the centennial of American independence. Completed in 1886, the sculpture stands at the entrance to New York Harbor and has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States ever since.
Shengfang Ancient Town
Shengfang was developed from an ancient fishing village. After the great immigration in the early Ming Dynasty, the population of Shengfang increased rapidly, and merchants and shops gathered there. It quickly developed into a major commercial and cultural town in North China. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was very prosperous and rich. There is a saying that "there are Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, and Shengfang in the north". The Wen'an County Chronicles states: "... Shengfang is the most prosperous city in Wenyi. There are many sails on the water, and there are noisy carriages and horses on the land. There are all kinds of goods and merchants. It is listed as one of the six towns in Zhili."
