I went to the "ends of the world" in the United States - Key West

I like to travel to places that are labeled "the most". I heard that there is an island in Miami that is the "southernmost point of the continental United States", so I took my luggage and went there after getting off the cruise ship! The Chinese translation of Key West is a bit complicated. It is called "Xishao Island" or "Key West Island". Of course, it is most practical to call it "Key West" directly. There was even talk of independence here and the government wanted to change its name to "Conch Republic"❶. In the southern part of Florida, there is a chain of islands (Key Chain), and Key West is the southernmost and westernmost island in this chain. It spans 250 miles from Miami to Key West, passing 32 islands, 42 bridges, and the coolest cross-ocean highway in the world❷. This road is called "the most beautiful cross-sea highway in the world" and "the most worthy of conquering the cross-sea highway" by many professional travel professionals. Let's experience "driving in the sea is really possible in the world." In addition to the clear blue sky and white clouds, coconut trees and flying birds❹❽, the endless sea extends forward with the wheel, which is shocking❻. My American friend sent me a photo of Key West that he took from an airplane. The beautiful scenery like a pearl necklace strung with sapphires on the sea in the sky is like a dream⓴. Driving along the longest coastal road in the world, the endless road merges with the sea. In less than half an hour you can see a broken bridge in the distance. It is the legendary "Seven Mile Bridge". This magnificent "cross-ocean bridge" connects the Florida Keys to the mainland of the United States. The southernmost is Key West. It took eight years to complete and is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World"❻❾. Not only that, it has also won the favor of many producers and directors. In order to film the final part of the bridge scene in "True Lies", it was built and bombed, bombed and rebuilt again, so that it had the real effect of a blockbuster film❼❽. Classic masterpieces such as "007: License to Kill" and "Fast and Furious 2" were filmed here. Driving on this road, you will see the endless sea in front of you. The scenery of the southern islands and colorful beaches along the way make you feel like you are in a fairyland, which makes people relaxed and happy. Some people call it "the staircase to heaven." When you walk to the seaside, you will see a red and yellow pile ❶, which is the southernmost landmark of the continental United States and the "ends of the world" in the United States. Of course, a sense of ceremony is indispensable when you come to the end of the world. Come to the "Big Cylinder" where Internet celebrities check in, and raise a glass together in this southernmost town, "one cup to freedom, one cup to the distance." This is the southernmost tip of the United States, a quiet and isolated town. It is 90 miles (about 145 kilometers) away from Cuba, much closer than the mainland United States. The blending of multiple cultures makes this place more charming. The road is very small, and the shops and houses have their own styles. There are mostly tourists on the island, in small groups, riding bicycles. There are also some interesting stories spread on the island. Or do nothing, sit in a daze on a bench by the sea, look at the distance in the night, where fishing boats with big nets are still operating under the lights; listen to the music coming from the cruise ships that are getting farther and farther away. , very comfortable❿⓫⓬⓭⓮⓯⓰. When you come to Key West, you will pass through the "Everglades National Park", which is one of the three major national parks in the United States and the largest subtropical wildlife refuge in the United States. This 1.4 million-acre Everglades is dotted with woods and a variety of animals. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, walk through the rustling jungle, say hello to the birds, and have a close encounter with American alligators❸❺⓰⓱⓲⓳... I record frequently because the world is worth it.
