For many years, Hawaii has been a magicname 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 middleof the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset overthe ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea,and it droops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behinda glow that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.

People often have a quiet, peaceful time---perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from thedramatic(令人神往的)beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. Theywere Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger thansmall boats.

They found the beautiful white sand beachesand the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we seenowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, butskyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now jet planes make itpossible to fly to for a weekend from Tokyo. Wherever the people come from,they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see thelovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden bythe tall hotels.
