Boston
波士顿
Historic sights are the major draw in Boston, and The Freedom Trail(自由之路) is a great way to explore the main highlights. The 2.5 mile trail links 16 places with a red line on the sidewalk. Get the most out of the route by joining a free, ranger-led tour.
A good place to start is Boston Common(波士顿市中心公园), a 50-acre oasis of lush flowers and cool lagoons in the centre of the city. It contains a memorial for Robert Gould Shaw, who led the first African-American regiment in the Civil War.
North of the common is Beacon Hill(比肯山), a historic district that includes Old State House, which was the revolutionary government’s headquarters and is now a museum. It is also the spot where the declaration of Independence was first read in 1776.
Boston Children’s Museum(波士顿儿童博物馆) provides a vivid interpretation of the city’s history. Visitors can explore bygone years by dressing up in clothes, and learn about the history of Native Americans in a full-size wigwam. The museum also features a Japanese house imported all the way from Kyoto, Boston’s sister city.
If you have time, visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum(伊莎贝拉·斯图亚特·佳德纳博物馆), an ornate Venetian-style mansion filled with priceless art and furniture. Adults only, admission $11.
Close by in the Quincy Market(昆西市场)district, is a plethora of shops, eateries and even a comedy nightclub. Just around the corner is Haymarket, a traditional market where half the fun is listening to sea-dogs sell their wares.
If you are a sports fanatic, then Boston is dinitely the place to be. Known as the best sporting city in North America, a favorite pastime for locals and visitors is watching the Boston Red Sox baseball team at Fenway Park(芬威球场).
This city isn’t just about the past, with a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. From exploring the botanical gardens to supping a pint in the ‘Cheers’ bar, Boston has something to offer everyone.
