Trip Around the World Series: Caribbean - Grenada

Grenada is an island nation located at the southernmost tip of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean, consisting of three islands. Grenada Island makes up 89% of the total area and is a volcanic island with rolling mountains and steep roads, resembling the mountainous city of Chongqing. Its streets are bustling with people and traffic, crisscrossed in a chaotic yet beautiful pattern. In 1498, Columbus arrived in the region and brought it under Spanish colonial rule. Grenada experienced repeated struggles for control between France and Britain, finally becoming a British colony in 1783 under the Treaty of Versailles. In 1974, Grenada declared independence and became a member of the Commonwealth. Image 1: The Rainbow Tree, introduced from Africa, is the only one of its kind in Grenada.
