Hawaii State Capitol

The Hawaii State Capitol is very local. This American government parliament looks very solemn and not a very tall building. After all, this state is far from home. There is no entrance to the parliament. It is a troublesome way to make an appointment. It is not very convenient.

The Parliament Building is a relatively large-scale building in Hawaii, but it can only visit the external structure, and the inside cannot be visited, but the surrounding area is very lively, there are many places to visit

Under a great guide - Ursula led, we visited the botanical garden. The trip was rich and interesting. Ursula told us about the background of the botanical garden and the local ecosystem, explaining how and why this decision was so important. We highly recommend booking this tour through the Botanical Garden.

The state legislature of Hawaii is a state of the United States of America, with a state emblem hanging in the middle of the main entrance, with the words 1959, that year Hawaii officially became a state of the United States of America. The building has a strong tropical style, a courtyard with a corridor, a spacious patio, and a blue sky and white clouds. The building is surrounded by tall palm trees. The eight giant pillars supporting the building symbolize the eight main islands of Hawaii, surrounded by pools, symbolizing the island of Hawaii in the vast Pacific Ocean. There is a sculpture in front of the building, and we suspect that it must be a person with important ties to Hawaii. It was later found online that this is a statue of a respected Belgian priest, Damien, who was forced into exile in 1866 on the island of Molokai, Hawaii, and devoted his life to caring for leprosy patients, regarded as the most loyal friend of the Hawaiian people. On the other side of the building, a statue of Queen LILIUOKLAUI, the last monarch of Hawaii, faces the State Capitol and says GIVEN WITH ALOHA BY THE PEOPLE OF HAWAII below. It means that the people of Hawaii greet you! ALOHA Aloha is the most common greeting in Hawaii, and we learned this way when we traveled in Honolulu. Simple word, including hello, thank you, welcome, goodbye, I love you, etc., can be used for any occasion. The first floor is flanked by a conference hall, one called SENATE, one called HOUSE OF REPRESENTITIVES. The latter opens the door, centered on the American flag and the Hawaiian flag. Rows of semicircular seats, computers on each table. Staff introduced that the upper level seats were open to the public. We saw that there were seats dedicated to wheelchair-bound citizens. When we went, the meeting of the day was only over, and the staff said that there would be a meeting at 12 o'clock tomorrow, welcome to listen. Upstairs is the office, each room has a sign at the door, marking the name of the parliamentarian and the area represented. A woman was seen shouting with a sign, as if asking the MP for a reply to a case.

This parliament building is very tasteful. It is not a traditional gothic European building. The building is surrounded by water. It feels very spiritual. I like the building very much. I can also enter and exit freely.
