夏威夷州議會大廈

夏威夷州議會大廈很有地方特色，這個美國的政府議會顯得很莊重，不算很高大的建築，畢竟這個州遠離本土，議會內沒有進入参觀，很麻煩的一個預約方式，不是很方便的哦。

議會大廈在夏威夷算是比較大規模的一處建築的，但是也只能参觀外部的結構的，而裏面是不能参觀的，不過周圍倒是很熱鬧的，有挺多地方是可以逛的

在一個很棒的導遊——Ursula引領之下，我們参觀了植物園。這次旅行既豐富又有趣。Ursula告訴了我們植物園的背景和當地的生態系統，解釋這個決定是如何重要和為什麼這麼重要。我們強烈建議通過植物園去預訂這次旅遊。

The building of Hawaii's State Council was magnificent, with the State Emblem hanging in the middle of the main entrance, which had the words 1959 on it. That year Hawaii became a state of the United States of America. The building has a strong tropical style, a corridor courtyard, a spacious patio, you can see the blue sky and white clouds. The building is surrounded by tall palm trees. According to the information, the eight huge pillars supporting the building symbolize the eight major islands of Hawaii, surrounded by pools, and symbolize the vast Pacific Ocean of Hawaii. There is a statue of FATHER DAMIEN in front of the building. We guess it must be a person of great importance to the state of Hawaii. Later, it was found on the Internet that this statue of Damien, a respected Belgian priest, was forced to exile to Molokai Island, Hawaii, in 1866. He devoted his life to the care of leprosy patients and was regarded as the most loyal friend by the Hawaiian people. On the other side of the building, the statue of Queen LILILIUOKLAUI, the last monarch of Hawaii, faces the State Capitol Building with GIVEN WITH ALOHA BY THE PEOPLE OF HAWAII written below. It means the people of Hawaii greet you. ALOHA Aloha is the most common greeting in Hawaii, and we learned it when we traveled in Honolulu. A simple word, including hello, thank you, welcome, goodbye, I love you and so on, can be used in any occasion. On both sides of the first floor is the conference hall. One is SENATE and the other is HOUSE OF REPRESENTITIVES. The latter is open, with the American flag and the Hawaiian flag in the middle. There are rows of semicircular seats with computers on each table. Staff members introduced that upper-level seats were open to the public. We see seats for wheelchair residents. When we went, the meeting on that day came to an end. The staff said that there would be a meeting at 12 o'clock tomorrow. Welcome to the audience. Upstairs is the office, each room has a sign at the door, indicating the name of the members and the area they represent. At that time, I saw a woman holding a sign and shouting loudly, as if asking the MP to respond to a case.

This parliament building is very tasty. It's not a traditional Gothic European building surrounded by water. It feels very spiritual. I like the buildings here so much that they can get in and out freely.
