What is the newest, smallest and most beautiful national park in America?
It is located in arches national park, Gateway, Missouri. As there is no official Chinese name at present, according to the unique scenic spots of the park, we can temporarily give it a foreign Chinese name: Great arches national park. Of course, it goes without saying that you also know that this arch is not the sandstone arch you are familiar with, but a huge building, which was built after many twists and turns in St. Louis, Missouri.

In addition to the novel and most "new" painting style (the reason why quotation marks are used here is because it has always been a national historical park, rather than a new one), Grand Arch Park is also the smallest national park in the United States at present, with a total area of less than 0.8 square kilometers. As long as you stand on the big arch, you can inadvertently see the panoramic view of the park, which can be said to be really small and unique, and it can be said to be one of the most unique features of this park.

Then someone will definitely ask: why is this big arch so small, but it can still be selected as a national park? This is mainly because before it became a national park, Gateway arches national park was called the Jefferson National Expansion Monument. Its purpose is to commemorate the famous westward movement and the first democratically elected government west of the Mississippi River. In other words, although this place is small, it has distinct historical significance and is a different place for the United States.

At present, the only main attractions in the park include the arch, the old court and the memorial museum. Among them, the big arch is the tallest building in Missouri, the tallest man-made monument building in the western hemisphere and the tallest arch in the world, and it is known as the "gateway to the west".
