For most of us, Hawaii begins to weave her spell with some little glimmer 1 of awareness 2. Golden beaches and golden people. Sun, sand, sea, and surf... And somewhere between the blue skies and the palm trees... we're hooked.

The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most beautiful places on earth. The weather is friendly. The temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees all year long. It's a little warmer in summer, and a little cooler in winter, but every day is a beach day for somebody.

The environment is friendly. The physical beauty of Hawaii is almost unparalleled. Majestic 3 mountains were created millions of years ago by volcanic 4 activity that thrust these islands three miles from the ocean floor.

Our position at the center of the Pacific ensured that almost every plant and animal who would find a home here would come as an invited guest.



夏威夷地处太平洋的中心,使得几乎每一种植物和动物都可以来到这里找到一个家。



There are no strangers in Paradise. Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawaii is the genuine warmth of our people. We call it the spirit of Aloha(爱). It has allowed a melting pot ot cultures from all over the world to find common ground, and a new home, in this most gentle of places.
