Introducing Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii

Honolulu (Honolulu) is located in the southern part of Oahu Island, located on a coastal lowland between the Korau Mountains and the Waianae Mountains. It is called Honolulu in Hawaiian. "Huonu" means "a low land connecting two mountains", and "Lulu" means "shelter". During the days of the Hawaiian Kingdom, this was where local residents parked their canoes. After more than a hundred years of construction, it has now become a Pacific sea and air transportation hub and an international commercial port. It has developed industries such as sugar production, pineapple canning, oil refining, cement, steel bars, aluminum smelting, and clothing. It has a population of 350,000.

Visitors who are new to Honolulu always like to visit Yolani Palace and Washop Exhibition Hall. Yolani Palace is in the city center, a royal palace during the Hawaiian Kingdom. Yolani Palace means "above the gods" in Hawaiian. Yolani Palace is now the seat of the Hawaii State House of Representatives and Senate and is open to the public. Visitors can visit the luxuriously furnished king's audience room to see the carved gold throne, the Hawaiian king's scepter decorated with feathers, exquisitely crafted gilded furniture, and the crystal lamps purchased by King Kalakaua from Europe. The Washop Exhibition Hall can be called a "treasure box" of Polynesian culture and art. The museum displays 26 feather crowns worn by Hawaiian kings, among which the feather crown of Kamehameha I is worth millions of dollars. The museum also preserves many precious feather swords, pieces of cloth, bark clothing and decorations used by early Hawaiian residents. Several huts and several canoes of the same size as the originals are also on display. A large map hangs on the wall of the exhibition hall, which marks the route taken by early Hawaiians across the Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands.

Waikiki Beach, east of the city, is a great place for water sports. There is a coconut grove on Waikiki Beach. After the warriors of the Kingdom Era won battles, they often came to the coconut grove to celebrate their victory. Today, Hawaiians in national costumes, Tahitians and Samoas can sometimes be seen dancing traditional hula, knife and torch dances under the towering coconut trees. When the setting sun dyes the sea red, the boundless blue water will change into endless colors. At night, the lights on the beach flicker like countless fireflies; under the moonlight, waves gently lap on the beach. The light, rhythmic Hawaiian folk songs played by guitar and ukulele could be heard faintly from the seaside. The elegant and quiet night of Waikiki Beach makes tourists forget to leave.
