On the other side of North America, more than 4,000
kilometers from Vancouver(温哥华), is the American city
of Boston. Boston is on the east coast of the United States.
Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It was founded in 1630. Because Boston is such an old city, it has all kinds of interesting historical sites. During the American Revolution(革命) of 1776, many important things happened in Boston. A lot of the old buildings from that time are still there, and they’re open to visitors.
If you’re interested in history and culture, then Boston is a great place to visit.

The best way to see Boston’s old sites is to follow the Freedom Trail(自由之路). The Freedom Trail is just a red line that goes through the city. You just follow the line, and it will bring you to every site. One of the Freedom Trail’s most famous stops is Faneuil Hall(法纳尔厅). During the American Revolution, many famous leaders met there.

Boston is famous for its history, but the city is not just one big museum. All around these old buildings, there are modern department stores, beautiful parks, and wonderful restaurants. For example, Faneuil Hall is a beautiful old building, but it also has shops and modern restaurants. Speaking of restaurants, because Boston is next to the ocean, it’s got great seafood. Boston’s most famous food is lobster.
