The name of the state of Hawaii comes from Polynesian, meaning "Original home".

Hibiscus is the state flower. The nickname of this state is "Aloha State" (Hawaiians often say: "Aloha" when greeting or leaving others. Its meaning is love). The state's motto: "Justify and live."

The state capital is Honolulu, a tourist resort. The most attractive place is Waikiki Beach. It has beautiful weather and blue sky all year round. It is suitable for swimming, surfing, boating and fishing. About 2,000 ships enter and leave Honolulu every year. As many as 400,000 passengers pass through Honolulu International Airport every day. There is the University of Hawaii in the city, founded in 1907, with more than 20,000 students. The EastWest Center established on campus is very famous.

Honshu has three characteristics: First, Honshu is a volcanic island. The Hawaiian Islands consist of one and three islands. This is the part of a tall volcanic cone on the Pacific Ocean floor that emerges from the sea. A large crack occurs at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and lava flows out, forming a tall volcano with many craters and many peaks. Some peaks protrude from the sea and become islands. Second, Honshu has a tropical climate. This gives the United States three territories: cold (Alaska), warm (the 48 continental United States), and hot (Hawaiian Islands). Third, our state is very important as it is the Pacific naval and air force base of the United States and the shipping center of the United States, Asia and Australia.

The climate of the archipelago is a regression type because it is located near the Tropic of Cancer and is affected by the northeasterly trade winds. It is rainy on the windward slopes and less rainy on the northerly slopes. The main products are sucrose and pineapple (pineapple or pineapple). The latter accounts for about three-quarters of the world's output. The state's main income: first, the defense industry. The second is tourism. The third is the sugar industry. The fourth is the pineapple industry. Oahu is located northwest of Hawaii Island. On the south coast of the island are Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. The former is the largest U.S. military port in the Pacific; the latter is the state's industrial and commercial center. The island is 3,800 kilometers from San Francisco to the east and 8,890 kilometers from Hong Kong to the west.
