What is the earliest island in the world to see the sunrise?

Kiribati, an equatorial island country with a population of just over 70,000 in the Pacific Ocean, is famous for being the only country in the world divided by the Japanese border. Caroline Island in this country is the first island in the world to see the sunrise. Although Kaka Island is uninhabited, Kiribati Parliament passed a resolution in 1997, naming Kaka Island as Millennium Island, claiming that it was the first land to enter the 2 1 century.

This statement was recognized by the Granci Observatory, although it believed that the glaciers covering Antarctica saw the sun earlier than the Millennium Island. Kiribati set up a special committee for the new millennium, issued commemorative coins and stamps, and invited people from all walks of life around the world to participate in the celebrations.

Tonight, the residents and guests of Kiribati will row boats to this uninhabited Millennium island and erect a new Millennium monument, so that future generations will always remember that Kiribati is the first country for all mankind to welcome the third Millennium.

New Zealand claims that Pitt Island is the first inhabited place in the world to see the first ray of sunshine, and Gisborne is the first city in the world to welcome the sunshine in the new century. New Zealand will host the world's first horse race, the first fishing race and the first golf tournament in chatham islands, which governs Pitt Island, while BBC Radio and the new No.3 TV station will celebrate the Millennium on the top of Hakai Mountain in Pitt Island and Hikreji Mountain where Kiribati is located, so that the world can appreciate the elegance of "being the first to enter the future".

In order to see the first sunshine of the new century, an Australian rich man arrived in chatham islands by Falcon jet, accompanied by Belgian and American friends and his family of 23 people. The billionaire named Jones said that watching the first ray of sunshine is undoubtedly the most exciting moment in the world, and we want to be a part of it.

Tonga is called "the land closest to the international international date line", and Fiji is also called "the meridian passes through the center of the island". They declared to the international community that "the place where the sun rises is the first in the world" and they also got a response. The luxury resorts in these two countries are fully booked, which really makes a fortune for the local area.

Compared with the above countries, Australia does not have an advantage on the Japanese border. However, as an international metropolis, it is necessary for Sydney to welcome the carnival fireworks of the Millennium party, and it has been rated as the most popular tourist destination in the world by the American media. Despite the gloomy weather and occasional light rain recently, the atmosphere of the carnival remains unabated.

Someone put up a tent last night. It is estimated that1200,000 people will go to Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour to watch fireworks and listen to concerts. Some even said that there would be1500,000 participants. More than 20 tons of fireworks will be released at the Sydney Bridge and Opera House at 9: 00 and midnight tonight, which will rewrite the history record of fireworks display in Australia and is expected to become the "most fireworks" in the world to welcome the Millennium.

At 0: 00 every day, the earth completes the cycle and starts a new day. At the moment of welcoming the new millennium, South Pacific countries are vying for the first place in the new millennium, which shows the good wishes of mankind to bring good memories and new records into the new century.
