Travel Tips: The United States has a great span from east to west, from north to south, so the national climate is quite different. Also in winter, the temperature drops to a few degrees below zero in some areas, and some places can take a sea bath. Summer in the United States is very hot, so tourists should be prepared for "high temperature"; But if you travel to the northern United States, you'd better take a thick sweater or a cold jacket. Even in summer, the northern part of the United States is relatively cool, and even a little chilly at night.

Edit this paragraph history

On the mailing address, the initials of "New Orleans, Louisiana" are "NOLA", and New Orleans people affectionately call their beloved city "NOLA". The most distinctive city on the American mainland, like a unique person, has its own unique personality, temper, spirit and character soul. In Pleasure, Fogg said that the name "Louisiana" came from Louis XIV, the "sun king" of Bourbon dynasty, while New Orleans was named after the Duke of Orleans, the regent of Louis XV. "It's strange that male Orleans used a negative adjective in front." The root of this fallacy turned out to be "1at the beginning of the 8th century, French aristocrats prevailed in a feminine and lazy style, and the Duke of Old Orleans was famous for his love of whitewashing women". New Orleans is destined to be a contradictory comprehensive unity. The name says "new", but the temperament is old; Nicknamed "Great Joy", I am afraid that I have tasted more tears than laughter in the past 202 years in the continental United States. 17 18 years, under the guidance of Indian tribes, the French led by the leader Jean-Baptiste Bienville settled in the only highland near the mouth of the Mississippi River. The earliest old city in New Orleans is the French quarter by the river today. After the port was opened, the first residents were miserable, including paddle slaves, hunters, gold diggers and cleaners, while women were all prostitutes. Despite the constant influx of nuns, the wild and unruly character that New Orleans laid from the beginning has taken root in this land. Coupled with the luxury of the French court from top to bottom, New Orleans became the most luxurious and corrupt North American colony in France. It is "happy" every night, decadent every day, deaf to foreign affairs, and even ignorant of its own destiny. The old house in New Orleans during the French colonial period 200 years ago.

At that time, the British colonial power gradually expanded in the North American continent. In order to contain Britain, the French government decided to join hands with Spain. 1762165438+1October 3, a paper of Fontainebleau Agreement secretly gave New Orleans to Spain as a political gift, and the poor patrons of New Orleans were still in the dark. Three years after the signing of the agreement, the official Spanish governor arrived late, but the colonial French and Germans insisted on restoring Louis XV's former glory, and finally launched a peaceful coup in 1768, driving the Spanish governor back to his lair. Spain sent a bloody new governor to quell the chaos, held a big banquet, arrested many elites in the peaceful coup at one fell swoop, shot five people, and bloody the parade ground (now Jackson Square). Since then, Spain's colonial era in New Orleans has officially begun. The French Revolution ended the rule of Bourbon. After the powerful Napoleon came to power, the relationship between France and Spain deteriorated, and Spain's influence in North America gradually disappeared. Finally, New Orleans was forced to return to France at 180 1. The French are very proud, but during the 40 years when the Spanish ruled New Orleans, there were two fires in the French community, and the whole old city was burned down, and the French style was gone forever. Nowadays, although the French quarter is euphemistically called "France", most of the old houses are of Spanish architectural style. Only the French people's romantic, flashy, luxurious and exquisite attitude towards life has taken root in New Orleans over time, giving birth to evil spirits and flowers of sin, waiting for changes and watching the vicissitudes of life coldly. A few years after Napoleon recovered New Orleans, he was threatened by the "anti-French alliance" led by Britain, and the Haitian independence revolution failed Napoleon's plan to conquer the new Caribbean continent. In 1803, Napoleon, who was in urgent need of funds, sold the entire Louisiana colony (the Rocky Mountains in the west and the Canadian border in the north) to the United States at a low price. Since then, the Yankees have flocked. The French look down on these "uncivilized" American farmers and think they are vulgar. They were not allowed to live in the French quarter, so the Yankees had to reclaim land outside the city. This is where they went to the garden area before they went into town today. While Americans from the United States poured into New Orleans, Creole nobles who fled after the Haitian revolution also came to this treasure house which is culturally closest to the customs of South American and Caribbean island countries, and quickly became the upstart of New Orleans and settled in the "nearest place to the United States". No matter how many owners change hands, the old city is always full of music, flowers in the backyard echo on the lazy Mississippi River, and Nora sings and dances. Strangely, in the Anglo-American War known as the "Second American War of Independence", British troops fought in New Orleans in February of 18 14 for the mouth of the Mississippi River. American general Jackson, who came to the war, was outnumbered, and temporarily gathered a group of rabble, Americans, German immigrants, liberated slaves and Indians in New Orleans. The battlefield is in Shameite, outside Xicheng today. How fierce the smoke is in the cold wind in January! Up to now, every year1February, Sharmet will perform a retrospective performance of this war. Colorful flares glided across the black night sky, listening to the seemingly looming gunfire in the distance, and my thoughts always drifted involuntarily to the American Civil War more than forty years later. Although the New Orleans people defeated the British, the aristocratic paradise that the South was proud of was still gone forever in the tide of slave liberation. Now, the bronze statue of General Li stands alone at the junction of the garden area and the urban area. Ambition is still unpaid, and things are like the wind.

New Orleans

New Orleans is built at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Both "Upper City" and "Lower City" are relative to the flow direction of the Mississippi River: one upstream and one downstream. Most of the roads in the upper and lower cities are parallel to the river direction. When the Mississippi River turns a big bend, the road branches like a fan, so it is nicknamed "Crescent City" because of its "great happiness".

waterside town/city

Some people say that the "Crescent City" in New Orleans is really a city in the water. The whole city is about ten feet below sea level, with Lake Pontchartrain in the north and the Mississippi River passing through the city in the south. There are many canals in the city, and the terrain is like a bowl, surrounded by towering riverbanks. During the hurricane season from June to 10 every year, people in New Orleans should pay close attention to the location where the hurricane landed. Generally speaking, hurricane clouds rotate counterclockwise. If the eye of the hurricane moves to the left of Lake Pontchartrain after landing, and the wind blows the lake to Hubei, New Orleans will be safe. But if it is on the right side of the lake, it will fall to Wang Yang. Nevertheless, before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was still "drinking today, getting drunk today". When the hurricane comes, people would rather stay in the old city and pray for peace than leave in panic.

Pavement pit

The city of New Orleans was originally a swamp, and the roads in the city were well built, but a big hole suddenly appeared from time to time. Coupled with the corruption and incompetence of local governments, there is nothing they can do in the face of land subsidence. The difference between urban roads is unique in America. After a long time, I came to New Orleans and experienced a big pit on the road. It turned out to be a scene of Nora.

French old-fashioned architecture

Most of the most distinctive buildings in New Orleans are concentrated in the old town of the French quarter. During the 40 years of Spanish rule in New Orleans, two fires in the French quarter destroyed the old buildings in France, especially the one in 1788. French buildings in France are all wooden structures. If a family accidentally catches fire in the middle of the night, the fire will spread quickly by the wind. In addition, every household is equipped with ammunition muskets. If we don't organize manpower to save the whole city in time, it will become a sea of fire.
