State Capitol

Under the guidance of a great guide Ursula, we visited the botanical garden. This trip is rich and interesting. Ursula told us about the background of the botanical garden and the local ecosystem, explaining how and why this decision is important. We strongly recommend to book this tour through the Botanical Garden.

The Hawaii State Capitol has local characteristics. This American government assembly is very solemn and not a tall building. After all, the state is far away from the mainland and there is no visit in the assembly. It is a troublesome way to make an appointment and not very convenient.

The Capitol is a relatively large-scale building in Hawaii, but you can only visit the external structure, and the inside cannot be visited, but the surroundings are very lively, and there are many places to visit

The building of the Hawaiian State Council is magnificent, with the state emblem hanging in the middle of the main entrance, with the words 1959, when Hawaii officially became a state of the United States of America. The building has a thick tropical style, with enclosing courtyards, spacious patios, and a blue sky and white clouds above. The building is surrounded by tall palm trees. The eight huge pillars supporting the building symbolize eight major islands in Hawaii, surrounded by pools, and symbolize Hawaii's vast Pacific Ocean. There is a statue of Father Damien in front of the building, and we assume it must be someone of significant interest in Hawaii. It was later found online that the statue of a respected Belgian priest, Damien, was exiled to Malokai Island in Hawaii in 1866, dedicated his life to care for leprosy patients and considered by the Hawaiian people to be their most loyal friend. On the other side of the building, a statue of Queen Liliuoklaui, the last Maharaja of Hawaii, faces the state legislature building, with the following written Given with Aloha by the People of Hawaii. ALOHA Aloha, the most common greeting in Hawaii, we learned it during our trip to Honolulu. Simple word, including hello, thank you, welcome, goodbye, I love you, etc., available on any occasion. On either side of the floor is the conference hall, a house of representatives, called the senate, which opens the door, right in the middle of the american and hawaii flags. rows of semicircular seats, each with a computer on the table. Staff said that the upper floor seats were open to the public. We also saw seats for the wheelchair-bound public. When we went, the meeting was over, and staff said there would be a meeting at 12 o'clock tomorrow. Welcome to the room. Upstairs were the offices, with signs at the door of each room indicating the name of the congressman and the area he represented. A woman was seen holding a sign shouting, as if asking the senator to reply to a case.

This parliament building is very flavorful and not a traditional Gothic European-style building. The building is surrounded by water and feels very spiritual. I really like the architecture here and I can come and go freely.
