What Chinese tourists think of New York City

On a drizzly overcast day in New York City’s Financial District, crowds of Chinese tourists eagerly waited in line, hoping to take a picture next the Charging Bull, the three and half ton bronze sculpture in Manhattan. As China’s economy continues to prosper, many Chinese find themselves with more freedom and money to spend on recreational travel. New York is just one destination that China’s estimated 90 million tourists will be traveling to this year. According to Niuyue Mag, a luxury lifestyle iPad magazine in Chinese language for Chinese tourists, New York is #1 favorite destination in the U.S. for Chinese visitors.
