Aria 🎵Waikiki Beach, Hawaii: A Tropical Dream and the World of the Pacific Ocean Waikiki Beach, this three-kilometer golden arc, has transcended geographical boundaries to become a cultural symbol of Hawaii and a tropical dream for countless travelers. Surrounded by Diamond Head and facing the azure Pacific, it carries the ancient memories of the Polynesian people while reflecting the ultimate epitome of modern resort culture. A Symphony of Nature and Humanity Waikiki's charm lies in its harmony within contradictions: white sand imported from Australia blends seamlessly with the pristine coastline, while the pristine charm of swaying coconut trees contrasts with the towering Waikiki skyline. The waves here are gentle and layered—nearshore is perfect for beginners to stand in the waves, while further out, expert surfers can be seen riding the waves, continuing the surfing tradition pioneered by the Xia Dynasty monarchs. Sunset is the most magical moment: Diamond Head gradually bathes in the twilight glow, and Polynesian canoes paddle the golden sea, like a journey through time and space in a Hawaiian epic. A Multidimensional Experience Behind the Bustle Despite being criticized for its over-commercialization, Waikiki's splendor lies amidst the hustle and bustle. Luxury stores coexist alongside ABC convenience stores on Kalakaua Avenue, street artists embody the spirit of Aloha on ukuleles, and hula dancers tap the rhythm of the earth with their bare feet. A closer examination reveals hidden corners of tranquility: the garden maze at the Royal Hawaiian Center, crowds laying flowers at the Duke Kahanamoku statue, and the wondrous sight of locals practicing Tai Chi in Kapiolani Park in the early morning hours. The Prism of Reality Waikiki is not a perfect paradise. Crowding, with over five people per square meter of beach during peak season, high prices (a glass of juice can cost $12), and ecological concerns (coral reef degradation and rising sea levels) pose real challenges. Yet, its value lies in its honesty: refusing to feign wildness, it embraces modernity with an open attitude, allowing travelers of all colors to find their place. Beyond Sightseeing As the world's first planned resort destination (sand filling projects in the 1920s saved the beach from disappearing), Waikiki is a laboratory for the symbiosis between humanity and nature. It teaches the world how to preserve culture through commerce (such as the modernized legacy of luau dinners). It also proves that paradise need not be isolated from the world—the simultaneous presence of surfboards and laptops on the beach is Waikiki's response to the modern desire for balance. Perhaps the true spirit of Aloha lies in this beach's inclusiveness: it allows tourists to sip Mai Tais in the Sheraton Waikiki's pool while respecting the moonlit ritual of local families scattering flower petals for the deceased. This vitality amidst chaos makes Waikiki a never-ending Pacific theater.

大吃吃吃货The overall feeling is good, with characteristics and local cultural displays, but I don't understand some of the check-in projects. I don't know where to get the stamps. There is no detailed introduction, and the time of each project conflicts, so I run around. But overall it is still unique

Pepe’I had the opportunity to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA. It is an amazing place where we can see the crater of a volcano that is still moving molten rock (there are only a few places in the world). It is easily accessible. We will receive excellent knowledge in geology, including natural beauty, including plants and wildlife that are unique to this area. If you are interested in geology, you will not be disappointed. P.S. If you are lucky, you will see hot molten rock flowing in a red line.
