Online tours
“網絡旅游”是興起于20世紀末，時髦于21世紀的一個旅游新概念。目前國內所謂的網絡旅游，是指網絡公司在投資商的支持下，在互聯網上建立的一系列專門服務于旅游者的綜合網站，當旅游者通過訪問這些旅游網站，收集全國各地的旅游信息，制訂自己出游的旅游線路，預訂各種交通票證、住宿房位、娛樂項目，并在網站的幫助下完成“吃、住、行、游、購、娛”的旅游活動時，一次真正意義上的“網絡旅游”便告誕生了。“網絡旅游”簡言之是一種憑借互聯網技術為核心的電子商務網，該網是旅游服務商與旅游消費者之間交流溝通的渠道和中介。目前在中國有“攜程旅行網站”、“華夏旅游網”、“游皮網”等。
然而這并不能稱為真正意思上的網絡旅游，只是為游客提供“機票+酒店”的預訂服務，而這種網絡旅游服務僅僅是旅游網站資訊服務的升級。

Welcome to New York
紐約，美國最大的城市。
Background information
紐約別稱“大蘋果”。關于此名的由來有好幾個版本，其中廣為流傳的一個是源自20世紀初流行于美國爵士樂手中的一句歌詞：“樹上有這么多蘋果，但當你選中了紐約市，你就選中了最大的蘋果。”后來the Big Apple成了紐約市的代名詞，意指這是一個充滿機遇的城市。
Wall Street
華爾街是紐約市曼哈頓區南部一條大街的名字。現該詞已超越這條街道本身，成為附近區域的代稱，亦可指整個美國經濟中具有影響力的金融市場和金融機構。
Times Square
時代廣場是紐約市曼哈頓區最繁華的街區，以一年一度的“彩燈球下降”活動而聞名。
Central Park
中央公園于1858年確定設計方案并開始建設，1873年才全部建成，是美國第一個城市花園。
Broadway
百老匯大道為紐約市重要的南北向道路，此路兩旁分布著眾多的劇院，是美國戲劇和音樂劇的重要發源地。如今它是美國現代歌舞藝術、美國娛樂業的代名詞。

Welcome to "Around the World in Eight Hours". I'm your tour guide, Robin. Have you noticed the "Tour" icon at the top of the page? Just click on it, and you can visit Asia, Africa, Europe, America and more in only eight hours!
Here we are in "the Big Apple" — New York, the biggest city in the USA.
Wall Street, the world-famous trade centre, is here at the southern end of Manhattan Island. There are many big companies and international banks here.
Further on is Times Square. Every year, thousands of people gather here on New Year's Eve. It's exciting to see the huge glass ball falling through the darkness!
In the centre of the island is Centre Park. With several lakes, hill and a large green lawn, it's a good place to relax after a hard day's work.
When you visit New York, don't miss Broadway. It has been famous for its theatres since the early twentieth century. Have you ever heard of the song "Memory"? It comes from the famous Broadway musical Cats.
Ok, so much for New York. There's a "Back" icon at the bottom of the page. Click on it, pick another city and then start your new tour!
