Hawaii
Of the eight main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago in terms of area, Hawaii Island is called the "Big Island" at the top, and the other islands are not as large as Hawaii Island. At 4,169 meters above sea level, Mauna Loa Volcano on Hawaii Island and 4,205 meters above sea level, Mauna Kea Volcano is higher than the mountains on other islands. In terms of geological time, Hawaii is still a yellow-haired child, and there are still areas of volcanic activity. Bounded by two large mountains, the east and west have very different climates and different landforms, forming different cultural landscapes. There are different ways to play, different enjoyment and experience in tourism.
●1. Hilo City●
Hilo is the second largest city in the state of Hawaii, with a population of about 38,000. With an annual rainfall of more than 3,400 millimeters, it is known as the "rainy city", but heavy rain and sunshine are the basic characteristics of the climate here. This climate nourishes the plants, freshens the air, makes it easy for tourists, and it rains almost every day but has sunny weather. Hilo is the center of Hawaii Island's politics, education, aquaculture, aquaculture, and agriculture. There are thousands of miles of green fields here, and all kinds of industries are prosperous. In fine weather, you can see the snow on top of Mauna Kea. The buildings in Hilo City have green and red roofs and have a strong tropical style.
●2. Nanimau Gardens ●
Nanima'u Gardens is a place on Hawaiian Island where you can enjoy Hawaiian orchids and roses. The panda orchid produced in Hawaii is a famous orchid, half of which comes from Hilo, and the rose flower is also a famous Hawaiian flower, 90% of which is produced in Hilo, and almost all orchids are produced in Hilo. That's why it's also known as the "Hawaii of orchids and roses." And the best viewing spot for the orchid and rose flower industry is Nanima'u Garden. Nanima'u Gardens is located about 5,000 meters from Hilo City along Highway 11, turning left on Makalika Street 1,000 meters. This colorful flower world is home to more than 2,000 species of flowers and is Hilo's largest tropical botanical garden. There is a paid viewing train in the park, and walking through the hundred gardens is full of fragrance and beauty, which is a wonderful tour of the park.
●3. Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden ●
The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is a 6.5-kilometer tropical botanical garden in Hilo near Honor Bay. Inside this botanical garden, 1,800 species of plants from all over the world are home to a spectacular landscape. The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden has conditions suitable for global plant growth, and its seaside location creates a perfect combination of blue sea and green space. The chirping of flamingos and parrots from time to time in the dense trees adds to the fun of the viewing activities.
4. Parker Ranch ●
Parker Ranch is the largest private ranch in the United States, and this ranch has been in operation since 1848. Today, the Palmin Olo (Hawaiian for "cowboy") village is formed in Waimea, centered on Parker Ranch. It is no exaggeration to say that without Parker Ranch, there would be no Waimea today. As a result, the Parker Ranch House at Park Ranch has become a popular destination for tourists. Walking along an avenue lined with tall eucalyptus trees, you will see a large parking lot, next to a large and a small house, which is the Parker Ranch House. The larger house, called the Puopalu Hall, was built in 1852 and from 1943 became a gallery of art. The cottage next to the exhibition hall was built in 1847 as the home of the owners of the Parker ranch, and is still arranged according to the furnishings of the year, reflecting the life of the Parker family.
● 5. Captain Cook Monument ●
The Captain Cook Monument is located in Kaiarakekwa Bay and is where Captain Cook lands on his expedition. Driving down the slope from Route 11, past a lush coffee plantation, you will reach Kaiarakekwa Bay. Turn right at the end of the road and cross a trestle to a parking lot to see monuments to historical figures who have been significant in the evolution of the Hawaiian Islands. According to legend, he was killed in 1779 by locals who worshipped him as a god. The British explorer had a good friendship with Kamehameha I, and the guns he brought with him played a role in the unification of Hawaii.
●6. HAWE ●
Located on the northernmost tip of the island of Hawaii, Hawei is the birthplace of King Kamehameha I of Hawaii. On the façade of the district court stands a bronze statue of Kamehameha I. The bronze statue of Kamehameha I was originally intended to be placed in Honolulu. The bronze statue was made by craftsmen in Florence, Italy. In 1883, he was shipwrecked and sank to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, another bronze statue was copied and placed in Honolulu. Later, the original bronze statue was salvaged from the bottom of the sea, and Honolulu was no longer needed, so it was placed in Kamehameha's hometown of Hawi. Evocatively, the prototype of these two bronze statues is not Kamehameha himself, but his relatives and friends, the most beautiful man in the palace. If this legend is true, it is also a very benign historical joke.
●7. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park ●
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is one of the most spectacular tourist attractions in the archipelago. Here, you can experience the scene of volcanic eruptions, observe the formation of land, and feel the great power of nature. Established in 1916, the park covers an area of 976 square kilometers and includes a vast area from the 4,205-meter Mauna Loa volcano to the sea. The park is crisscrossed by roads and the tourist centre is located on Kilauea, an active volcano with spectacular views of the eruption from the Kilauea Volcano Service. Also worth visiting are Hallemau Crater, Volcanic Eye, and Crater Chain Road. At night, the eruption of the volcano is more spectacular and majestic, giving people a powerful shock. Watching this red wave rising from the sky, standing above the sea with a blazing peak, listening to the cracking sound of this magma jet and the echo of the sea, it cannot but make a strong tremor arise in the depths of people's souls.
