York is one of the most famous historical and cultural cities in Britain, and has a deep connection with the Roman Empire and the Vikings. Its history can be traced back to 71 AD, and it was once the capital of Roman Lower Britain. Rich in historical assets, York’s tourism industry is boosted, with two million visitors a year making it the most visited city in England after London. York is also famous for its chocolate industry and the University of York.
When it comes to York, we have to mention its relationship with New York. New York was born in 1664 AD. In 1651, the Anglo-Dutch War broke out, and in 1664, the British defeated the Dutch and gained the territory of “New Amsterdam”. The homesick British soldiers named each settlement in the New World after the town of their hometown. New York was one of them, which was translated as “New York” in Chinese. New York is one of the five most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
