Extra Day in Honolulu
Going to Honolulu on business is a bit like going to Wall Street for a vacation, for the city of 892 000 people is more famous for its beaches than its banks. Honolulu is a multi-cultural business capital linking America and Asia. It also happens to be a world-class resort (胜地).
The city—situated on the island of Oahu—attracts about 415 000 business travelers a year. Oahu, one of 137 islands of the 1 523-mile Hawaiian archipelago (群岛), is not the biggest island but the most populated, with about 950 000 residents. After a rapid rise in population following statehood in 1959, the population of Oahu has become stable and, in fact, the last two years show a slight downward trend. The island itself is 44 miles long and 30 miles wide with 112 miles of coastline. Should you be lucky enough to find yourself here on a business trip, be sure to build in at least one extra day. And be sure to pack a bathing suit, sun block (防晒乳) and a sun hat!
