Yang Jing and his family stayed in New York for two days, and then drove south, accompanied by a group of bodyguards and secretaries.In the United States, Yang Jing and his family have come to the United States many times, and Gege has even come to the United States more times than Yang Jing.However, neither of them had a road trip across North America in this country, so this time the two decided to take a few days out of their time to take a road trip across North America.Because of the weather, Yang Jing did not take Gege to the manor on Grand Island, which Yang Jing bought from the Dupont family, and the eight treasure sites in the Philippines were also found by Yang Jing in the basement of this manor.But it's not much fun to go there at this time, and when it's cold, it's definitely not comfortable to play outside, even if it's close to Niagara Falls.So as soon as the two of them combined, they set out from New York, went south along the east coast, Philadelphia, Watsonton, and went around, and then went to Norfolk to look at the home port of the US Navy, and saw not only the Kidd-class missile destroyers, but also two aircraft carriers under maintenance.Continuing south from Norfolk to the port city of Savannah in Georgia, known as the "No. 1 Romantic City in the Fall", this is the perfect time to visit.In this city, the young couple saw the first lighthouse on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean - Taibi Island Lighthouse; Of course, they didn't forget to come to Savannah Street Square, which is the filming place where Forrest Gump, played by two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks, sits on a bench and tells his twists and turns about his life experiences to people in the past.Continuing south from Savannah, the group came to the world-famous space center Cape Canaveral Launch Center, and through the relationship, the group entered this space center and had a close look at the launch pads, especially the legendary Space Launch Complex 39.At the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Car, 39A is a "heritage-grade" launch pad.The 39A and 39B launch pads are both part of the JFK Space Center 39 launch complex, which is also the only NASA launch pad among the many launch pads at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in the United States.In particular, 39a occupies an unshakable legendary position in the history of human spaceflight.The first mission of Launch Pad 39A was on November 9, 1967, when an unmanned Saturn V rocket lifted off on board the Apollo 4 spacecraft, which was also the first mission of the Saturn V rocket.During the Apollo era, all manned lunar missions except Apollo 10 were lifted off from the 39a launch pad.On July 16, 1969, three Apollo 11 astronauts on the first mission to the moon lifted off from launch pad 39a, and four days later Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon.After the advent of the Space Shuttle, the 39A launch pad was modified to accommodate new missions.On April 12, 1981, the space shuttle Columbia took off from here with two astronauts on the world's first space shuttle mission.Six months later, Columbia took off again from Launch Pad 39a, becoming the world's first manned space vehicle to be reused.From 1981 to January 1986, the first 24 missions of the U.S.
Space Shuttle took off from Pad 39a, including the space debut of four space shuttles, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis.On July 9, 2011, the space shuttle Atlantis also took off from here to complete the last space shuttle launch.After witnessing the era of Apollo and the Space Shuttle, the 39A launch pad ushered in a new mission.Elon Musk's SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets will both lift off from Launch Pad 39A.And SpaceX will launch one or two "Red Dragon" spacecraft to Mars every two years starting this year, that is, 2020, which will be sent into space by a Heavy Falcon rocket at the 39A launch pad.The legendary 39A will usher in the "Martian era" in the history of human spaceflight!
After coming out of Kajiao, the two did not continue south.Miami may have an unstoppable appeal to most people, but for this young couple, Miami is the same thing.After seeing the main venue of the Atlanta Olympics, the couple then headed west, Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, and then arrived at the Grand Canyon National Forest.If you don't go to the Grand Canyon in the United States, it is equivalent to going to China without going to the Great Wall.If you don't see this canyon with your own eyes, it's really hard to imagine why there is such a spectacular scenery on earth!
After two days of playing in the Grand Canyon, the group continued westward, gambling in Las Vegas for half the night and then preparing to cross the Rocky Mountains the next day.Of course, while crossing the Rocky Mountains, they didn't forget to visit the Giant Sequoia National Forest Park to see the ancient redwood trees.Before the establishment of this park, the redwood forest was cut down in large numbers, but it was miraculously spared, because the trees here will automatically break into many pieces when they fall down, so that the wood lacks the economic value it deserves, and over time, people do not come here to cut down trees, and the mangrove forest is preserved.On June 30, 1864, U.S.
President Abraham Lincoln designated this giant sequoia forest in the Rocky Mountains as a protected area in order to protect the original appearance of this huge redwood forest, and set it up as the first state park in the United States.Just like the Grand Canyon before it, if you don't see the giant sequoia trees in the world, it's hard to imagine why there are such big trees in the world!
The giant sequoia is the largest of all the trees on the planet, and is not only the largest redwood, but also the largest living creature on Earth.This huge tree can grow to more than 110 meters tall and can reach a staggering 10 meters in diameter at breast height!
Standing underneath the giant sequoia and looking up at this awe-inspiring tree is like a little mouse looking up at an elephant of such a huge size, it is definitely the largest living creature on the planet!
Coupled with the lifespan of more than 2,000 years for this giant sequoia, the North American giant sequoia is also known as the "Lord of the World"!
There are more than 500 giant sequoia trees in the entire Giant Sequoia National Forest Park, and the roots of these huge trees are enough for more than ten people to hug.Some giant sequoia trees are too old to have holes in their roots, but even if they are hollows in their roots, they can easily allow a car to pass through!
In addition, there are many giant sequoia trees that have fallen due to lightning strikes or mountain fires, and people stand in front of the roots of this lodging giant sequoia, as if they are standing in front of a three-story villa, which shows how huge the rhizomes of this giant sequoia are.When visiting Jushan Park, Yang Jing and Gege also encountered an interesting thing.Because of the excellent environmental protection, you can often see some wildlife here.When Yang Jing and Gege were holding hands, they encountered a North American brown bear with two cubs.For bears, both Yang Jing and Gege are very fond of it, and the fundamental reason is that the polar bear "Dabai" they met when they went to the North Pole to hunt for treasure.Now Da Bai has long since disappeared after being taken to Siberia by Yang Jing for release, but this also makes the little couple very fond of bears.With the "feeding" skill, this mother bear with a cub really didn't escape Yang Jing's "clutches".Everyone knows that the female bear with the cub is extremely dangerous and irritable, but under the stunned gaze of a group of people, this female bear behaved no different from a good daughter who is attached to her father, even if Yang Jing and Gege teased the two cubs, the female bear did not react violently.After playing with the mother and son and the three bears for a long time, Yang Jing and Gege reluctantly left them.However, seeing the mother bear and the two bears reluctantly following behind, Yang Jing and Gege were even thinking about whether to go to Siberia to find Dabai again After crossing the Rocky Mountains, the group came to Los Angeles.Mike Sr.'
s Boeing BBJ3 was already waiting at the airport.Because they only went to South America some time ago, the young couple decided not to go to South America on this round trip and took a direct flight to New Zealand.The North Island and South Island of New Zealand are still very beautiful, especially Queenstown, which makes the two of them have a lot of fun.Yang Jing has his own mansion in Queenstown, so the two of them lived here for three days in one go.Then in November, the group arrived on the Great Barrier Reef.It's early summer in Australia, and it's absolutely fine to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef.After two days on the Great Barrier Reef, Gege said he wanted to see Ayers Rock, so the couple set off for the southwest corner of the Northern Territory.However, the distance between Ayers Rock and Townsville is close to 1,800 kilometers, and most of the road is uninhabited, plus the two of them have just crossed the North American continent by car, so they don't want to suffer anymore, but take a direct flight to Ellis Springs, a major town in the southern part of the Northern Territory.The closest city to Ayers Rock has an airport runway that allows Boeing BBJ3s to take off and land.However, after Yang Jing and his party landed successfully at Alice Springs Airport, they had to drive more than 400 kilometers to reach the Ayers Rock.Ayers Rock is 348 meters high, 3,000 meters long, and has a base circumference of about 94 kilometers.That's right, this rock, which looks like a small mountain, is actually a whole rock, not a mountain!
Therefore, Ayers Rock is also known as the "navel eye of the earth"!
After returning from sightseeing at Ayers Rock, the group flew to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, where they admired the pit that was once the world's largest gold mine, and then flew back to China from Pass.This honeymoon trip around the earth took a total of 50 days.ps: Bow and thank the "very lazy fish" for the tip of 100.
