Since the 19th century, high­rise buildings have sprung up all over the world, showing the modern architecture wonders. The Empire State Building The Empire State Building, a 102­story building, was completed in New York in 1931 and was the tallest in the world until 1971. While the Empire State Building was built to be an office building, it still draws millions of tourists each year for overlooking New York. It is currently admired for its green architecture initiatives, in an effort to be a more energy­efficient and eco­friendly green building. The Jin Mao Tower Completed in 1999 and standing 420.5 meters high, the Jin Mao Tower was once China's tallest high rise building. Located in Pudong District of Shanghai, the Jin Mao Tower is a 88­floor building, which represents the belief in Chinese culture that the number 8 brings fortune. With both modern and traditional characteristics, the Jin Mao Tower is a symbol and landmark of Shanghai and a must­see for any tourist wishing for a taste of modern Shanghai. Taipei 101 With a height of 508 meters, Taipei 101 or formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center became the world's tallest building when it was completed in 2003. Designed by C．Y.

Although uses of the phrase are documented in the early 1900s, the term first became popular in the 1920s when John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer, started a column about horse racing called “Around the Big Apple”. However, it wasn't until a tourism campaign in the 1970s that the nickname came to be related to New York City. Mumbai：the City of Dreams With an estimated population of 18.4 million people, Mumbai is one of the most populous cities in India． Mumbai is not only the financial center of India but also the home of Bollywood, one of the most popular Indian movie industries, making this city a particularly appealing place to move to. The opportunities here are endless, which is why Mumbai is often referred to as “the City of Dreams”． Sydney：Harbour City Located on the southeastern coast of Australia, Sydney is a city that takes advantage of its location. Once a major port city, Sydney is sometimes called “Harbour City” in honor of this real estate. People enjoy hitting the beach to go surfing or snorkeling(浮潜), and one of the most recognizable buildings, the Sydney Opera House, is right on the harbor! Paris：the City of Love Whether it's because French is considered the “language of love” or because of the romantic walks along the Seine River, Paris has distinguished itself as the “City of Love”. Paris has long attracted those with labors of love, such as writers and artists. Love can be found everywhere, from its cozy cafes to the Pont des Arts bridge, to which couples in the early 2000s attached locks to demonstrate their commitment to one another.
