New York, New York: A City That Has Everything... Except...
New York City. The Big Apple. The Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made of... and Skyscrapers. It’s a place where you can find everything from a hot dog vendor to a world-renowned opera house. But, believe it or not, there’s one thing you won’t find in the heart of this bustling metropolis.

| Which Is Not A Structure Found In New York City |
A Brief History of Tall Things
New York has a long and storied history of building things that reach for the sky. From the Flatiron Building, which looked like it was about to topple over (but never did, thank goodness), to the Empire State Building, which was once the tallest building in the world (until it was rudely upstaged by the World Trade Center), New Yorkers have always had a penchant for the vertical.
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
So, What Isn’t Here?
You might be thinking, "Okay, smart guy, just tell me what's not there already!" Fine, fine, I will.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
New York City does not have a Great Wall of China.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
I know, right? Mind blown. It's a shocking revelation, I know. But there it is. No matter how hard you look, you won't find a massive wall snaking its way through Central Park. Maybe if they ever need to keep out hordes of tourists, they’ll reconsider.
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.

Now, you might be wondering, "But what about that brick wall around that one park?" Or, "Isn't there a tall fence around Trump Tower?" Well, those are just feeble attempts at imitation. They don't count.
Why No Great Wall?
You might be asking yourself, "Why on earth would anyone want to build the Great Wall of China in New York City?" And to be honest, it's a fair question. I mean, we already have walls around our apartments to keep out our noisy neighbors. Why would we need something so drastic?
Perhaps the city planners thought it would be too much of a traffic hazard. Or maybe they were worried about property values. Whatever the reason, we can all agree that New York is better off without it.
How to...

- How to plan a trip to China: Include a visit to the Great Wall.
