For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean，in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean.

  Their dreams always include at least one scene of the sunset over the ocean. In the tropical (热带的) islands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a red glow that lights the skies over the quiet water.

  People often have a quiet, peaceful time for a leisurely walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic (激动人心的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.

  They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no grand hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper (摩天大楼) hotels have been built in the last 25 years.

  Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.

  Wherever people come from they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.
