Located in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of New York, New York City is the most populous city in the U.S. and one of the world's centers of finance, culture, arts and media. The metropolis, which consists of five boroughs, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, is home to world-renowned landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, and the Broadway Theater Complex, and attracts tens of millions of tourists every year. As the location of the United Nations headquarters, New York is not only the economic hub of the United States (where Wall Street is located), but also a multicultural melting pot, gathering immigrants from more than 190 countries and regions around the world, forming a unique international atmosphere. With a metropolitan area population of over 20 million, it is one of the most influential cities in the world and continues to set global trends in business, fashion, technology and other areas.
